PrintSan Diego Padres at Chicago Cubs, May 13, 2008 5:05 PM PDT
The game is starting soon. I better get this thing up. I wish our line up had guys that hit for high average. That seems like it'd be really fun to watch.
Go Padres!

Here we go, Estes, here we go!
As Ted would say, “We’re all counting on you.”
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
All I hear about is America’s team and ripping San Diego’s lineup and what a great offense the Cubs are. Can’t we just get credit for not throwing strikes? We had a comparable number of hits last night.

And they're picking up Edmonds tomorrow.

Great... it's windy

Chicago radio today said get out the ass wax for Estes...
...then promptly kissed that of Peavy when he was interviewed on WSCR out here. I kinda wanna go watch that Garvey home run a few more times.
geez
that was a homerun before he even threw it

Welcome back, Estes!
Ok, lets get the bullpen up.

Well that's out of the way.
The goal has been lowered to him making through the start without disappearing for two years.

no i'm trigger happy
if i managed a baseball team we’d lose every game cus i’d bench all my guys

E-Gon likes that dive move
I like it too. It shows determination. I would like it better if he actually caught the ball in one of those moves.
This Estes thing could not have been a worse idea.
If Ledezma is healthy he should be starting.
Why isn’t Hensley getting starts in Portland to get him ready in the event we need him to come up and start games?
We are hitting the ball hard right at people
this is frustrating

Anybody
ever eaten at Mama Mia’s in PB. The owner is CRAY-ZEE!
My waiter contends he is always like that… personally I think a little nose candy may have contributed to his personality!
Talking of crack cocaine, 3-0! WTF!
"We've... we've got lumps of it 'round the back."
Wooo!
4 run inning!
DeLorean Estes, you know what to do!

I'm trying to think of the GLBer....
....that kept begging the Padre FO to keep Gerut and E-Gon on the 25-man roster coming out of spring training. They should totally hire that guy. We’d be like in 2nd place right now.
You're right
I was totally right about that.

hey all
Joining late. We were watching Juno, but the kid woke up so we about an hour in. That Juno is so sassy!
Nice
that has to do his confidence some good, getting in and then out of trouble like that.
"We've... we've got lumps of it 'round the back."
We are hitting!
Those are hits! PLURAL! AGAIN!

Twenty two inning games.

does any one else
think we should have put a pinch hitter – our guys always get rocked in the 6th anyway
I can get behind that.
Especially after the inning Estes just had. Now he has to make Black look good by not blowing the lead next inning.

I know it is Chicago...
but that’s like “Storm watch” kinda rain in San Diego
you think they would have made Wrigley a dome by now
I've got the key to paradise, but i've got too many legs
yea i know its a drizzle
but with all the rain it just makes sense that they’d have a dome

With a two-hundred car pile-up at the 5/805 split....

WHAT THE HECK?
Bud Black is taking Estes out???
after giving up a hit???

Is this the first time
that Black has taken someone out in the middle of the inning? It sure as hell feels like it.
Gone

Nice work Cla!
okay it is time to call this game.

OK
So when XTRA was literally right across the hall from 91X in the old building…(before Clear Channel built the Death Star)...LeBon was in-studio on the morning show at 91X. I saw him in the hall and just said hello.
That night, I’m at the Murph with my g/f (current and 1st wife) and some friends. Well, I had someone in the Padre organization leave me some tickets at Will Call. I’m standing in line at Will Call and I’m a little buzzed. Simon LeBon walks by me going to the back of the line. I say, “Hey, Simon.” He cruises up and he recognizes me from that morning. I tell him to hop in line with me. He does. We both get our tickets. We’re walking away from the window and I ask him to come over and meet some people. He agrees and we walk over to my g/f. Well, it was a little chilly at the Murph that night and my g/f was wearing a t-shirt and it was obvious she was a little cold. The convo went like this:
Simon: Do you need a jumper?
g/f: A what?
Simon: A jumper.
g/f: What’s a jumper?
Simon: A jumper…a sweater. Looks like you’re a bit cold.
(At this point I’m feeling like I’m on a ride and I wanna get off)
g/f: Are you looking at my nipples???
Simon: Laughing his ass off.
That’s it. We said our good byes and went to Randy Jones BBQ cuz I was Hungry like the Wolf.

She actually thought it was pretty funny.
What impressed me about him….was he wasn’t there for any particular reason. He just wanted to catch a baseball game. I thought that was pretty cool.
He totally should've busted out into Girls on Film

Gonzalez brothers > Giles brothers
We've all experienced those delirious moments where one thing leads to another and you find yourself at the end of the night messing around with sheep. It's something we all have in common. -jbox
yeah!
I second that emotion. That was Marcus, right? I love, love that story. When’s a Charger gonna pick a fight at a Padre game?
I am waaaay late to the game
but I approve of this lineup.

Here comes the Heat
“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”

Bud looks rather awake today
someone must have gave him caffeine, candy and excedrin today
I've got the key to paradise, but i've got too many legs
Nah, sorry...
after watching CMnstr go after Kosuke, 4SD noting how he is not afraid of anyone. They said that whenever they interview him about a hitter, he always says “nah, he’s not that good”.
"We've... we've got lumps of it 'round the back."
Saturday, I think.
For a save, no less.

LETS GO TREVOR
Hopefully Drama didn’t f up our karma by making fun of Tony Clark’s late grandmother.

"We've... we've got lumps of it 'round the back."
That's career
win # 100 for Estes.
I said it yesterday and I’ll say it again: Luke Carlin + Starting = Padres Win
+ Gerut leading off and playing CF and Giles hitting third=
decent hitting team. Also=Egon=Monster at the plate.

Hoffman really locked that down
Wow. The Delorean really was on 1997 tonight.
Jody Gerut really puts in perspective how awful Jim Edmonds was for 100 PAs as a Padre….
