Open Thread: 5/14, Padres vs. Cubs

San Diego Padres @ Chicago Cubs


The line up looks a lot different then yesterday.  Scott Hairston leading off today.  I guess that works, since I like Brian Giles in the three spot much more than in the lead off position.  The Aussie Huber is back in the line up after a long break playing left field.  I guess Edgar Gonzalez didn't play spectacular enough to steal Kouz's position again.  Probably not the best of line ups, but they are trying to make it extra challenging for Peavy.  We don't want him getting bored.

Go Padres!!!

Why

Mess with success?

I hope I spelled that right…so tired right now…too many carbs at lunch

If you can't be a good example, at least serve as a horrible warning...

Listening

to Edgar and Luke reminds me fall in love all over again with the Padres…

I’m such a sap!

Facing lefty.

So Edgar is out because we have Iguchi, the rest sit because of numbers.

I hate this lineup

This is the Bud Black “I want everyone to be happy” lineup. And I know it’ll be spun as the right thing because Lilly is a left-hander, but I think that’s garbage. This lineup hasn’t done squat against lefties all season – let the other guys have a shot before you revert to the conventional method.

why don't we see how the game turns out?

We’ve turned a corner and I trust Buddy.

I am there, too.

But I don’t have to like to lineup to keep my trust in him, do I?

Don’t make me choose!

Fine!

I lost my trust in him for about twenty minutes while he was filling out the lineup card!

Hmmm

I’m not sure that’ll be enough to keep me from voting you off tonight. But now I’m wondering if you have the hidden immunity idol…

Boo!

I’ll be accepting apologizes at the end of the game.

I'd like to respectfully

disagree. Harry needs to go.

I just don't like Hairston leading off

We already know he can’t leadoff.

Exactly, right?

Doesn’t matter which side of the plate he’s on – he’s not suited to hit first.

Today on radio Jason Marquis said

that Jim Eh is a great off the field kind. I wonder if Josh Hancock would say so

by friarinchicago on May 14, 2008 5:02 PM PDT   0 recs

my brother is at wrigley right now

and he said some random dude just stood up and yelled “GO DODGERS”...wtf? so apparantly everyone looked around and talked about finding the guy and throwing him out

I resent that.

I just assumed

it was you attempting to confuse people and stir things up. Like the way you do here. I figured you were yelling either “GO DODGERS!” or “YOU GUYS ARE ALL A BUNCH OF AHOLES!!!”

It was a toss-up.

by Winfield's Ghost on May 15, 2008 7:26 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

You're close.

Yesterday, I was committed to calling Soriano an a-hole. Right from the start. I didn’t even wait until I was drunk.

I hate everything about that guy.

I'm lefty...

I always had good numbers against the LHPs in Little League.

Yes… someone’s dad kept stats.

No shame

I did that in high school because my coaches weren’t real good with numbers.

We had a math TA

suit up and take stats and keep score from the booth. Kid wore a uni with his own number.

Jake better have it today

because i think this lineup isn’t going to help him out too much.

Nonsense

Greene will homer again today

Today's best run scoring opportunities will fall on

Hairston and maybe Iguchi.

Because Jake’s hitting for the cycle today, and someone has to drive him in.

I saw that coming

when Bard set up inside on Soriano.

I guess that’s what a leadoff hitter is supposed to do. Dammit!

Right in the one spot in the zone where Soriano can hit for power.

Now now...

May I dig into the archive a long, long ways’ back, and remind you of that fateful game, so long ago… yesterday… wherein we scored run(s) after the same thing happened? :)

You and your silly optimism/facts.

LOL

That’s the first time facts about the Padres and optimism have been linked this season. Mark your calendars, check your watches!

That was a fluke

in the rain. I mean Greene homered.

God I hope so

And then we could get the sequel to CY- Derrek Lee if Soriano would charge. I bet Jake would win.

Man I wish Peavy were smarter. He’d be so incredible.

by Drama on May 14, 2008 5:41 PM PDT   0 recs

Cuz if he were smarter...

... he could move the ball with his mind into Bard’s glove and end the inning where it should have?
