GameThread, 5/6: Padres vs Braves
San Diego @ Atlanta
Chris Young is taking on the Braves today and I can't help but wonder how they're going to manage to lose tonight's game. I wish we were losing the games more spectacularly. I feel like we don't have enough of those super spectacular losses each year. Maybe the 22 inning one was it. I want another loss in the 9th inning on back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs or something.
Or we could win. That would probably be better.
GO PADRES!!!

I'm afraid the only spark...

6 mil down the drain on Edmonds.
For a team obsessed on getting good value – I would say this was one of their larger f-ups lately. At least they didn’t commit for long term, on purpose.

on what he might do next to calling up Gerut? I don’t expect Antonelli or Headley to come up with the way they are struggling. Maybe KT is interested in Myrow’s bat.

Obviously
you haven’t been around because you work to hard. I already tried that. It pissed everyone off. It didn’t work. But go for though, maybe you’ll have better luck than me. At least our fantasy team is pretty decent.

Dear Padres
Please stop swinging first pitch. This kid is wild. How about we let him issue some walks?
Kthxbye!

I score Padre games by inning now
So, by my count, they won the 1st inning 1-0. Lost the 2nd 2-0. But it’s tied!
This is what we need to start doing: Bizarro scoring, drinking contests, truth or dare, daily doubles. I don’t care. Anything to make the actual final scores of these games go away.

I cleaned my stove

Just as excrutiatingly tedious as watching the game but way more satisfying when it is over.
In the 4th, maybe I’ll try cleaning my fridge – in the nude, ala planetjeffy… brrrrr!

Honestly. What are the chances he gets DFA'd?
Really—it’s 6 million wasted, fine, but if he’s not helping on either side of the ball…..
Hairston isn’t helping his own cause, though. I guess if you lose Edmonds you have Hairston/McAnulty in left and have Gerut play center?

I'm at the point
where every time the Padres have to play defence I’m scared to death they are going to allow an awful lot of runs. Then when they get a chance to hit I’m praying we can at least get one run or something.
Still for some reason I’m always quite happy when I can follow a Padres game.
