Open Thread, 4/8: Padres vs Giants

Crackerjackdex2_tiny by Dex on

San Diego @ San Francisco


I'm really not feeling well today. I'm sore and achy all over. Like... the backs of my eyeballs hurt. I tried curing it by playing Bulls-Eye Baseball for like an hour, but it didn't help. It hurts my fingernails to type. So tired.

Lucky for the Padres, as bad as Gaslamp Baller Dex is feeling, the Giants and their fans are feeling a bit worse. I don't mind it so much, of course. They've been to the World Series more recently than us and now's the time to feast on the little bits of gristle left on their bones. Like a wolf.

Speaking of wolfs.

Randy Wolf goes for us today. I'll be observing him closely. His first outing for us was very good and I'm hoping he continues the trend. Against the Giants, he should continue the trend and if he doesn't... Well he's got som splainin' to do.

Of course, that's assuming I don't pass out during the game, which is a strong possibility.

GO PADRES!!!

Dammit. Wrong blog.

Oh. Wow. This is awkward.

I hate it when people sing "Over the Rainbow"

I don't even like the song

"Over the Rainbow"

Here's the problem with that song. If you attempt it on AI, your version is just going to be compared to Katharine McPhee's version. I wasn't a huge fan of hers...but she really did an amazing job on that song. You watch, one of the judges will bring her up in their criticism of Jason Castro tonight.

Funny.

I actually haven't seen the show yet. I DVR'd it. I got the "line-up" from TMZ. They always get it early.

Oops

Sorry - I hope "freakin' awesome" isn't too much of a spoiler. Lips now zipped.

Telling you right now

We just watched. Castro is freakin' awesome.

Am I crazy? Or does Carly Smithson get hotter every week?

Archuleta was unreal.

I'm so jealous of the life this kid is about to start. Think he'll sell a couple downloads? A few ringtones?

Archuleta

We should take over.

We should represent him.

Absolutely

LOL

I love you guys!!!

My Top 5 that I named 7 weeks ago:
Carly
Michael
David C
David A
Brooke

Jason is my wild card since he can be boring, but I always know he CAN hit one out of the park.

And by the way, Krukow is aware of who Terrmel Sledge really is, right? Because he seems confused.

I think he did say

Sledge was a "great outfielder" yesterday....so good he's a Ham fighter!

I'm supposed to be doing HW, so I may be in and out. Although I've been able to liveblog precious few games this year, so I might give HW the finger.

Dr Roberts on the DL with a knee issue.

Doc

What's amazing is is that he's under contract for next season as well. Sabean actually gave him a three year deal. Incredible.

And think about all the shit KT took for letting him leave.

Nice work, Randy.

So, has anyone figured out the best combination of size and speed to get optimal picture out of MLB.TV. The 800k at default size seems to be OK.

by Phantom on Apr 8, 2008 7:32 PM PDT   0 recs

I have the 400k

and i go to the full half screen so i can talk to yall...it works.....damnit "u guys" i think i might be picking up a twang like dex too.

That's what my wife asked me

She's actually in Sacramento tonite and is watching the game at the bar in her hotel. I love that 3 years ago she had no interest in the game, and now she watches the game out of town in hotel bars. Awesome.
