San Diego Padres at Atlanta Braves, May 8, 2008 10:10 AM PDT
Honestly I can't even imagine how the Padres could possibly win this game. One time I was trying to eat a giant burrito and it just looked too big. Even if I took tiny bites and took my time I just knew there was no way I could finish it. I held it up to my stomach to see if it could physically fit and when I saw that it wouldn't, that burrito had already beaten me mentally. I knew that it had already won. The Braves are a giant burrito.
Go Padres!!! Eat that burrito, but don't make yourself sick.

I like that we aren't letting Ledezma hit today
We should always go with an 8 man lineup.
by Winfield's Ghost on May 8, 2008 9:23 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
2.0 wouldn't lie to us
maybe they are trying to stay out of double plays by just taking the automatic out.
by jbox on May 8, 2008 9:24 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
weird auto lineup widget
I’m not even sure what that means like who’s being left off. The Braves are betting their 2B 9th?

I'm hoping they aren't even playing with a 2B

By all day, I mean 3 or 4 grounders to short.
You know those slow grounders that happen when a batter tries to check his swing but the ball accidentally hits his bat and somehow rolls fair? Yeah, those.

I predict
Ledezma pitching well, Two Agon Bombs, a great Kbot defensive play (I hear he is getting upgraded to KhalilOS X) and a double, an 0-fer for Larry and Colt Morton getting a hit finally. Cla and Bell will set up Trevor, who will come in and get an uneventful save. No, forget that. The Padres will be leading by six, so Estes will finish the game off. Bud Black will get ejected early in the game so he can’t mess anything up.

Of all the mistakes we saw today
Black bringing Thatcher in in a tie game was by far the most egregious. I will never get him.

Yeah
I’m not sure how he managed to fool us as a competent manager in 07, as he’s been universally awful this year.

I was sick of him last year.
I think the team was good enough to help him cover up some dumb mistakes.

Can it be a rebuilding year
If you don’t develop anyone new?

Rebuilding
Because I think we just saw the building implode.

First sweep.
I have only thing to say about what just happened:
THERE BETTER BE SOME MASSIVE F**KING CHANGES TONIGHT AND TOMORROW MORNING.

Sorry, "bets"
Edmonds? Gone
Rusch? Gone
Huber? Gone
Gerut? Up
Headley?
Leblanc?
Geer?

I think....oh....wait...
Daaaaaaahhhhhgggrrrrrmph. What was that? Oh—that was me finally not caring. That moment, just now. Weird.
by Dalton on May 8, 2008 1:39 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I doubt Rusch will go
He’s one of our better relievers recently.
LeBlanc is overmatched in AAA (for now).
Geer is only slightly less overmatched (for now).
Headley is ready, but KT says he’s not coming up.
Gerut is not the savior, but he needs the chance to prove that Edmonds is his bitch.
I watched all 23 innings and all I got was this lousy signature.

So...Headley finally earned it?:)

Sure
It’s just still funny to me.

I'm actually
excited to see what tonite and tomorrow will bring. We should watch the lineups for AAA tonite to get an idea of the moves they’re gonna make.

I wish I was at the ATL airport
just to see if they let Edmonds ride back.
by Winfield's Ghost on May 8, 2008 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well
I’m going to the games on Saturday and Sunday. At least I get to spend some time at the ballpark. I don’t honestly know what else one could say at this point.
How have the players not revolted at this point?

So, anyone going to Petco this weekend?
I know I want to watch the worst two teams in baseball play each other.
by SD Chick N on May 8, 2008 1:34 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I'll be there
but that’s because I got suckered into buying season tickets last season :-(
by Phantom on May 8, 2008 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
This will be the weekend
That the Padres get seriously booooed by their own fans. Then we can be real baseball fans because we boo our own team!

Done and done
If I end up going to the game, that is. I don’t know if those ugly Jake Peavy shirts can even get me to go. And I love ugly T-shirts!

I'll be there Sunday.

You know what's really pathetic??
Take a look at your Padre schedule people. See that game on Saturday night? Recognize that color? That color is RED. That means a match-up featuring the team with the worst record in all of baseball going against a team with second worst record in all of baseball is considered a PREMIUM GAME.

ha
I’m sure when they made the schedule, right after last season wrapped up, it was.

That we all keep participating in OTs when there is no hope?
Oh. The question was rhetorical. Crap.

HAHAHAHA!!
And I am going to be there – in a Western Metal Suite at least! Alex’s LL coach reserved it for us. At least there will be unlimited food…..

Oh Boy
The Purple Dinosaurs are beating up the Cards. Alone in the cellar again.
At least cellar door is most beautiful word combo in the English language.

Do we even get to stand near the door
when we have no intention of cracking it?

3 up, 3 down
Ups:
The Sauce was good
Greeney had a two-out RBI double
Edmonds is probably gone
Downs:
The Sauce pulled early
Three errors
Thatcher, again.

I'm addicted to this place i guess
i wasn’t here during the game so i had come and read everything

You wanted to come relive the anguish.

i miss our old outfield
anyone else notice that we’ve been playing awful since last year when Milton and Cameron got injured in the same game? its been all downhill since then. god i miss those two.
at least bradley was crazy enough to actually hurt his teammates if they played this poorly. he might have even knocked out buddy black as a bonus!
bring em back Sandy! for my sanity!

Milton Bradley was on our team?
He played so little for us I had already forgotten.
