San Diego @ Atlanta


Listen. You listen to me!

This ship is sinking and I'm going down with it. You all save yourselves.  Dex has already tied himself to the mast.  I want all the women and children in life rafts!  I don't want to see any women or children under the age of 18 on this thread tonight.  Don't try to be a hero.

O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done

The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:

But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

I think I was the one who sunk the ship.

Seriously. I let this girl(An A’s fan of all people) I was dating borrow my lucky Khalil Greene jersey, then we split. She still has it and the Padres have been doing crappy ever since. I need to get it back from her. I think just about everytime I wore the jersey when i watched a game, Greene hit a home run. I need it back.

Go special ops...

and get that back ASAP. For all of us.

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

I may have you beat.

I bet on game 163 and I still have not paid it off.

I thought he meant women; and people under the age of 18.

We won’t tell him you’re here. He probably won’t notice.

Half inning

Just wait until the bottom. It might just go from lame to downright painful.

by SD Chick N on May 7, 2008 4:17 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

dowright painful

that’s like every game for me.

BB and KT probably think he is back now.

Should hold off on aquiring Nyjer Morgan or Reggie Willits now.

ATL announcers

“There was some question as to whether or not Kouzmanoff would even stay in the big leagues last season.”

These guys are very well informed.

by Winfield's Ghost on May 7, 2008 4:23 PM PDT   0 recs

well then

maybe they should keep talking about our players that way. i know it always works when our announcers do it. case in point, game against florida last week: matty v mentioned that uggla was having trouble hitting with runners in scoring position, then wouldnt you know it, he hits a hr.
