Yeah...that and the Holliday chin slide...

two of my favorite plays!

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

I'll say it again

This is by far our best lineup. Giles is a much better 3 hitter. A little speed at the top. Pmac/Scott Harrison (lol) are interchangable I guess for now.

Me fail English? That's unpossible!

Um

Why no Carlin? Haven’t we determined that Luke Carlin + Starting = Padres win?

I mean, my theory is 100% accurate right now. How can you argue with that?

Small Sample Size

Giles should have pretended that he couldn’t pull the ball out of that nook, the run wouldn’t have scored.

Weak AB by Khalil

How many times am I going to have to type that this season. What was the Padre Drinking Game equivalent of a three-pitch strikeout by Khalil?

I told them “you know the Padres are playing right now, yea i need to see that”
didn’t make them work faster… they must have been dodger fans

Bleed Cubbie Blue

Al over at BSB has this to say:

Careful if you go over there—some of our best posters have been banned at GSB.

Their best posters are Arizona fans that like to hang out on Padres blogs?

His pitches are obviously too far up this inning.

Someone in the dugout reading this should notify him to make a correction.

It just turned into the last month again

I was actually feeling hopeful about the Pads after this weekend…

I made the mistake of small sample size…reading this blog I should know better

What exactly was Bud waiting for?

Let the the game get really out of hand before making a movie? When the camera’s start zooming in on you, waiting to make a move, go ahead and make a pitching change.

It's forty degrees.

And five minutes warming up is how long it takes.

Then you stall.

You send Bard out to talk to him as long as he can. You send Balsley out there. There are ways to stall.

In the length of one at bat

that made the score 6-2 rather than 4-2 they were able to warm up just fine.

He kept calling the bullpen...

...and telling them to get Thatcher up.

by C8LIN B on May 12, 2008 6:38 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I've always thought

that when the guy starts struggling you need to warm someone up asap

especially for relievers too because think about it, the guys job is to get people out… if he doesn’t get someone out then he’s not doing his job and get someone ready

when wolf gave up a double and a hr someone should have been warming up
