Open Thread: 6/17, Padres vs. Yankees

San Diego Padres @ New York Yankees


The San Diego Padres challenge the New York Yankees in Yankees Stadium for the last time. I remember the last exhibition Spring Training game of the year in '98 when the Yankees played the Padres in Qualcomm Stadium. I sat in right field with a friend who was a Yankees fan. The score was tied 4-4 and was called due to rain and hail. We talked about how these two teams would meet again in the World Series.

I didn't go to any of the World Series games back then because I couldn't get tickets, but I watched as Tony Gwynn and Greg Vaughn tore into David Wells and started celebrating early by starting cars on fire. It wasn't meant to be, we got swept. Tonight we get one last chance to take a series, hell a even a game from them on their turf.  If not we steal something or burn it to the ground.  One way or another we are going to get even!

Chase Headley is in Left Field.  I guess all that talk of him being DH was nonsense, just like everything else we've been told about him.  We've been bamboozled!

Go Padres!! Beat the Yankees!

[Note by jbox, 06/17/08 4:08 PM PDT ] Kooz is out with Lower Back Stiffness that appeared during batting practice.  When Stansberry was told he got the start he experienced Lower Front Stiffness.

Not the first

time they’ve played since the WS. Most notably, Peavy debuted against them in 2002 I think.

In Yankees stadium

is what I meant

by jbox on Jun 17, 2008 3:36 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

They played there in 2005

took 2 of 3 I believe. Sorry to be a bummer.

by 'Eaters on Jun 17, 2008 3:38 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

If

by “took 2 of 3” you mean the Yankees won the series, then you are correct. We are 2-4 vs the Yankees since the 1998 WS (1-2 at the Q, 1-2 at the decrepit old Stadium that Ruth supposedly built with his teeth).

I watched all 22 innings and all I got was this lousy signature.

I encourage everyone watching video

not to look directly at Chase. His Holiness may cause severe eye damage.

That was real clear….long day at the office…zzzzz

Hook him up with an IV

unfortunately

I am at work…

That doesn’t answer the question, I have not had an alcoholic beverage today.

Leitner

I think that is

David Cone and Michael Kay

Kay sounds like a total Homer, but not as bad as the guys here.

I have heard Yankee games with Paul ONeil and Ken Singleton who seem very good.

Kay keeps trying to rip SD

and Flaherty keeps politely deflecting his crap.

by Winfield's Ghost on Jun 17, 2008 4:50 PM PDT   0 recs

Only we are allowed

to rip other places

by strummer on Jun 17, 2008 4:53 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

It's just odd

He wants Flaherty to rip a team he played for and Flaherty isn’t having it.

by Winfield's Ghost on Jun 17, 2008 4:54 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

He made a lame comment

about “Dude”.
I am not sure how you have concluded that he keeps trying to get Flaherty to Rip SD and the team.
Think how Leitner or Matt sound to people in other towns?

by strummer on Jun 17, 2008 4:57 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Doesn't Kay know that he has to spend very cold days in New York from November to February

while Padres fans enjoy beautiful weather every day?

Smallpiece,Kay!

San Diego’s like a Triple A team bit.

Thanks a bunch, ass clowns.

Does anyone else think Petite is getting some awfully generous calls?

by Phantom on Jun 17, 2008 4:52 PM PDT   0 recs

according to gameday

he has a few outside of the zone called strikes.

by Sammy G on Jun 17, 2008 4:53 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That's pretty much

my observation. I thought TC got hosed on his called third strike and I think the pitch to Chase was high for a called third.
