PrintMinnesota Twins at San Diego Padres, Jun 26, 2008 12:35 PM PDT
On a positive note, I really like Josh Banks. On a negative note, we suck.
I can't get a lineup quite yet, but does it really matter? I'm going to be honest with you. It doesn't.
Go Padres.
Oh here it is. Bask in its glory.

Anyone else have the feeling
that this is Josh Banks’ pumpkin game?
Michael Barrett for Retirement in '08. Bring back Piazza!
i hope not
he’s starting for my fantasy team (aptly named “Dear God the Padres are Awful”)
http://www.wellbelowthemendozaline.blogspot.com
i think i just threw up in my mouth a little bit
my dad just called me and said “i think i saw this line up in a spring training game”.
this is such a joke. how can we field a team like this with a straight face?
http://www.wellbelowthemendozaline.blogspot.com
Scott Hairston led off yesterday
That is more of a joke.
Things that subtract from unrelenting suck today:
We are facing a righty (hey, it’s better than a lefty)
It’s day time (some of our guys hit when the sun is out)

Things that add to our sucking
Baker is the Twins best pitcher.
Our catcher has to bat.

Players aren't machines
The backups have to play at some point.

It didn't have it yesterday
Not sure what the point of it is though.

I guess
It’s so you can see the movement of the pitches. I was watching it with the Baltimore-Chicago game. Pretty trippy. There are still missing ESPN’s thing where they show where in the field the ball was hit.
Michael Barrett for Retirement in '08. Bring back Piazza!
Even the College World Series
showed where in the field that ball was hit. Apparently GameDay is currently too infatuated with PitchFX to include that.

It's not user-friendly
but it’s there.
“HOME/AWAY HITS/OUTS” puts dots on the field.

Hey guys
I’ll join you as much as possible today, but I’m working on a stupid RFP with more than 300 technical requirements. Woohoo :-(
Not a fan of this gameday3d thing
Every time I scroll my mouse over the batter’s view it changes the angle ever so slightly. annoying.

Advance Scout
not Advanced. Nice try though. Good hustle.

They aren't sure the scouting report applies to Carlin as well?
Michael Barrett for Retirement in '08. Bring back Piazza!
Baker, Banks, and Luuuke
all look like they shouldn’t be anywhere near the majors and probably at an ice-cream social with their adult chaperones.

That's nice to see
He’s getting hot. He’s had a much better June and he should be ripping the cover off the ball in no time.
Is there TV today? I’m listening on XM so I’m near real-time.
No problem
I happened to see your question just as he was describing it, so I was able to type verbatim.
according to espn.com gamecast
luke carlin doesnt have a face. must have been tough growing up.

I ran into that problem when I tried to put him on the milk carton
I started to think, “Holy crap, KT really did make him disappear.”

a google image search is somewhat limited
with the exception of the one i used above. he doesnt seem to have an official MLB headshot. almost like the execs don’t wanna waste the film.
thats gotta suck.

That's terrible.

Sweet!
Error leads to another run! Should have been an GIDP, but we got away with it! Go Stansberry!
Clearly he wasn't ready

Maybe we should quit and just start teaching it!
"It is only by an unimaginable chance that our world circles just close enough to and just far enough from a single, constant star."
It wouldn't be that big of a deal
If the Padres have fulfilled their 3 run limit for the game. But it’s a weekday(daytime) home game, and we’ve done pretty well with those so far.
It's so cute

Well Banks is quite a pumpkin
But we’ll need more than a 1 run lead to put this away. (I’m going to issue a pre-emptive shhh to WG)

Alright, guys, breathe, its only tied
We just got to rely on our offense to get some runs now. We can do it!

No more Banks
Not sure what his pumpkin status is, but this was definitely no complete game shutout.

Andy (or was it Jerry) made it sound like he hesitated on his way home
He who hesitates is a little bitch who gets thrown out at home. I’m pretty sure that’s how it goes.

i was at the game
didn’t look like hesitation to me at all… it was running on contact that killed us again.. man should have effing saftey squeezed

I guess they brought in Reyes but didn't double switch
So now Monroe is hitting for Reyes, but they still want the lefty-lefty matchup on AGo. Hence Breslow is warming up.
I like it. Go AGo!

Could we have caught any worse breaks in this game? Stellar defense and a chopper by Khalil to the only place on the field to kill Kouz at the plate. Ouch.
