I was at the game last night

sitting next to seven cardnials fans

needless to say
i’m much happier to be here!

even if i have to watch it on tv and listen to Steve Quis

i don't know what's good or bad anymore

That must be the problem

They need to start making some errors to turn this around.

obviously

BB decisions don’t count!

Woohoo

Good way to start the night

that was pretty good

let’s see if the offense decided to show up.

I'm just guessing...

no Pads in the All Star game this year?

by SD Chick N on May 20, 2008 7:10 PM PDT   0 recs

I have a good feeling about tonight.

Maybe KT’s anger will awaken some dozing Padres.

That guy impressed me and I am not easily impressed.... Wow. A *blue car*. -Homer Simpson

I've got a feeling in my gut too

But I’m thinking it must be the carne asada fries I had for lunch

by sqrunt on May 20, 2008 7:15 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

An Ump actually reversed a call?

See, Bud?

Argue once in awhile. It works.

by Winfield's Ghost on May 20, 2008 7:14 PM PDT   0 recs

It's nice when Bud doesn't sleep during the game.

He only backs winners....

Steve Quis and whatshisname (Grant?) are like the string quartet still playing as the titanic was sinking and people were ditching overboard….

by BeantownFriar on May 20, 2008 7:28 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Too nice

Bud is trying to be more assertive, but it just isn’t in him. He’s not going to pull a Pinella and go and light some ump’s shoes up just because he wants to take the media spotlight away from his players. I dunno, but I’d like to see Buddy rip some bases out of the ground and throw some garbage cans and ball buckets out on the field….

by BeantownFriar on May 20, 2008 7:21 PM PDT   0 recs

The last time Bud went off

He practically killed one of our players. And you want him to act out?

::shudder::

by sqrunt on May 20, 2008 7:22 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

he danced like he wanted it

truthfully, Bud was just restraining Uncle Milty.

by BeantownFriar on May 20, 2008 7:24 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Like more players on the DL would even matter

You can’t stop this sinking ship. It’s Titanic now.

by SD Chick N on May 20, 2008 7:24 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Thanks for the courtesy dive, Kouz

You were like a mile away, but thanks.

by SD Chick N on May 20, 2008 7:28 PM PDT   0 recs

A dive is always the best way to go

makes me appreciate him more

i say we put slip in sides on the field give them some extra help

Put a little dish soap on them too

The dish soap always used to sting my eyes. But it was worth the extra loss of friction.

by SD Chick N on May 20, 2008 7:34 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

carlin

saved a run with a headsy play behind the plate on that bunt…

by BeantownFriar on May 20, 2008 7:34 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I like him a lot

I love Josh Bard, but Carlin is good!

I don’t think Maddux likes Bard catching him

by C8LIN B on May 20, 2008 7:32 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I like that Luke Carlin can throw the ball

Unfortunately, I hate him because he hasn’t saviored this team yet.

by Dex on May 20, 2008 7:32 PM PDT   0 recs

Don't worry

He won’t be around for long. Gone as soon as Barrett comes back in a week or so.

by Winfield's Ghost on May 20, 2008 7:33 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

i like carlin more than barrett at this point

keep barret!

I used to play highschool and summer league ball against him… he used to rake my shit for doubles and homers, but it’s nice now having that connection….

by BeantownFriar on May 20, 2008 7:35 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

you play baseball?

you’re our savior!

by Dex on May 20, 2008 7:36 PM PDT to parent up   1 recs

killed me

I once had him at 0-2 at Pace’s field (his home field) and I purposely threw the ball 6 inches off the plate thinking I would set him up for a curve….instead I set him up for a 395’ shot to right center… he was the best pure hitter I ever saw, and I used to get to play with a lot of players that were pretty good….

by BeantownFriar on May 20, 2008 7:39 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

crush my hopes

what little are left

15-30 minutes to say

“We suck, lets play better or Towers is gonna have your head on a stick and Minor Leagures in your roster spot”

wow Buddy speaks slowly

it means nothing

unless a run is generated

by sqrunt on May 20, 2008 7:41 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

it means

that Adrian continues to outperform the rest of our team by like a full standard deviation

we gotta take what we can get

Nice effort, A-Gon

But resistance is futile.

by SD Chick N on May 20, 2008 7:42 PM PDT   0 recs

Alright Kooz!

nice base hit

At this moment

I dislike Khalil even more than the Iranians do….

by BeantownFriar on May 20, 2008 7:46 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

A-Gon is just a solid, solid player

I would have such a major crush on him if he wasn’t so into Jesus. Christ, that is, not Lopez.

by SD Chick N on May 20, 2008 7:47 PM PDT   0 recs

Right now,

He’s Sisyphus.

not to be confused with e-motion

by SD Chick N on May 20, 2008 7:49 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I've seen him smile

and it terrifies me

it just isn’t right
