PrintSan 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
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.

You're gonna hate me when you hear this, WG.
I was in San Diego Tuesday night on business. I had a carne asade burrito, 3 rolled tacos with guac and cheese and two fish tacos. It was the greatest dinner ever.
In honor of the Padres, I'm going to buy a 37 year old burrito
for 6 million dollars and ask it to play center-field.
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…

Wait... we get to blame you?

This team is like a hangover
You wake up and know it’s going to be miserable…..but there’s nothing to do but suffer through it. You know that if you just quit, you’d feel so much better….but you won’t.
I recommend water, vitamins, and no loud noises while watching the 2008 Padres.
Nah
The Padres are becoming that girl that you and all your friends laugh at and say how you’d never mess around with her even if your were hammered. Then after your friends go home, you call her up on your speed dial and ask what she is doing tonight.
I'm going with:
It’s Groundhog Day, and we are trying to kill ourselves as quickly and painlessly as possible. We are just bad at it.

Listening to the pre-game show.
They just mentioned the Padres have not been swept yet this season. Isn’t that incredible?
Stiff and old?
We’re ducking and dodging the sweep with graceful ease.
Suck it, anonymous NL scout.
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
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.
Colt
I agree. Colt will get his first today. As a matter of fact…he’ll have two.
It has been written.
Braves announcers....
“Kind of a bad-hop, wasn’t it?”
If by bad hop you mean one that bounced directly toward his glove…sure. Okay.
They are really bad
Not in an obxnoxious way like Suton and Grace, but they just come off as kind of dumb and uninformed

There's a weird angry part of me that wants the team to lose today

Braves announcers...
Already crying about the “missed” check-swing strike call. “It really should have been 2-outs and nobody on.” Ugh.
According to TBS announcers
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”
I can't post much today
guys. I got tasked with a high priority RFI reponse that I needs to finish today. I’ll be listening and thinking fondly of all of you.
Hey guys,
I start the audio fee, and all of a sudden ATL scores a run…..

Giles not giving way to Hairston
You know what that tells me? It tells me that the players on the Padres hate each other.
Indeed
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?

To Giles, everyone is Jeff.

Hmm, I'm sure tempers must be flaring
Maybe they all need to huddle up and, one by one, close their eyes and fall backwards into each other’s arms. Except, of course, Edmonds would drop everyone and the trust is gone.
By the way
Is there some reason Iguchi isn’t getting the start? Or is it just to let Crabbe play at Turner field?

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.
"You guys look like the last sh*t I took." ~ Morris Buttermaker
He threw 80 pitches in the 2nd Colorado Game That Shall Not Be Named
So what’s the deal with yanking him after 63?
He may have gotten hurt earlier in the game chasing a foul ball
Also pitched on Sunday.
Also – Bud Black is “wacky.”

I think....oh....wait...
Daaaaaaahhhhhgggrrrrrmph. What was that? Oh—that was me finally not caring. That moment, just now. Weird.
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.
I had a fan post about that about a week ago.

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.

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.
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!
I'm going to make a sign
that says “We’re not saying ‘Koooooz’!”

PLEASE DO THAT. PLEASE.

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 tomorrow
I’m so excited.

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.

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?
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
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.
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
I'm addicted to this place i guess
i wasn’t here during the game so i had come and read everything
I've got the key to paradise, but i've got too many legs
You wanted to come relive the anguish.
Admit it. :)

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.
