Open Thread: 5/8, Padres vs. Braves

San Diego Padres @ Atlanta Braves


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.

2.0 wouldn't lie to us

maybe they are trying to stay out of double plays by just taking the automatic out.

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.

hey guys, sorry about the lineup problem

we are working with our sports data provider on this issue. I know it is pretty lame to be presented with inaccurate information…

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.

he absolutely scalded that ball and Infante made a good play. Can anyone confirm?

It was a good play. I thought it was through the hole.

Surprised Infante came up with it. One of those “when things are going well, that’s a hit. When you’re the 2008 Padres, that’s a GIDP”

that really didn’t look like a nice team spirit. Seems like Giles doesn’t trust his CF, maybe he still thinks Edmonds is still there?

I am giving myself credit for that one.

So far I have predicted KhalilBots double, Colts hit, and Ledezma pitching well. I don’t think I will get the 2 Agon Bombs and Black won’t get himself ejected now though.

Estes

Walked 100 or more guys in a season FOUR different times.

According to the Braves announcers.

What is this split game pitching strategy?

Any word? I’ve been away from the computer.

He threw 49 pitches on Sunday against the Marlins.

And he may have hurt himself trying to chase down a foul ball.

This announcer is Carey-esque

He appears to be getting drunker as the game goes on.

Altough

I like volleybal a lot (played for 6 years) that talk was plain stupid.

I hope this answers...

I like the guy

Seems like for the amount he plays, he is more solid that some of the starters.
That, by the way, is a totally subjective comment. I cannot back that up at all.

by sacpadre on May 8, 2008 12:13 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah me too

I just like him. Not sure why. Because it seems pretty clear that he can’t play 2nd.

I dig him cause

he seems like one of the few guys who hustles. He really gives his all every time he plays.

Nothing wrong with Crabbe.

We just have Gooch and Greeney out there on D, and they’re just plain better is all I’m saying.

I’m a Crabbe-fan, too. But the reality is there.

So that was kind of interesting

Using Cla in the 6th – what happens now? He comes out for the 7th? Or does Gas Can Thatcher get the call?

According to Gameday

That ball Agon hit was halfway over the wall when Kotsay got it. Or are they messing with me again?

Messing with you.

It carried in the wind, but he caught it on the warning track and it wasn’t spectacular.

It is hilarious following you guys without the game!

I gotta go to practice… I’m gonna wear osbugs 2.0 shirt, hopefully not being the upgraded X version won’t hurt us (anymore).
