They had them in the Padres store

for a mere $100.

Also for sale in the Padres store.

I’d say ask them the next time you go, no way they run out of stock when it’s only on sale for one day.

Lineup is so different with Gerut up front

No way Giles gets to third on that

by Winfield's Ghost on May 11, 2008 3:14 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

yes

that one hit in 3 games gerut has given us is stupendous

by mlb22 on May 11, 2008 3:16 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Think he's only hit at the top twice

and Giles is better positioned in the 3 slot.

And just so you know – when you say things like that, you come off as kind of a dick.

good job by willy to slide to avoid contact. his coaches might be annoyed at him about putting the ankle at risk, but better than taking somebody out completely i guess.

A 4 run lead, a runner thrown out stealing with CY pitching, 2 HR’s, AND we won last night too! Not that I mind, of course, it’s just unfortunately strange this year ;-)

I don't know what that trash was....

I tuned in to watch the 2008 Padres. I am not paying good money to watch a competent baseball team. Homers, hits, dominant relief outings? What the hell?

My favorite part? Cla’s outing. Bases loaded, no outs, comes in and picks Young up with a DP and a K. Makes me think of all those situations Thatcher pitched in…..

Always nice to see Greene hitting at Petco, too. Poor bastard—Petco swallows him.

All in all, seeing CY in good form, the power coming back, and the bullpen solid…..God, it almost gives me hope…

The last two games

Things have been carrying on as they should in the past two games. Excellent pitching propping up the offense, that’s the blueprint.

Let’s take this party to Chicago!

I shaved before the game and bought a new BP hat today. It worked. :)

Crabbe will go to AAA if they work something with the Brewers

by penguinpatrol on May 11, 2008 7:38 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Really hurt Crabbe I think. They want someone who they feel comfortable with playing 2B. Personally, I would have ditched Huber. With a switch hitter now playing CF everyday and Shrek and PMac platooning left, I’d rather have a designated pinch runner/play-everywhere-in-a-pinch-player than Huber as the #3 pinch hitter against lefties only. Seems like bad roster construction.

I watched all 23 innings and all I got was this lousy signature.
