Open Thread, 6/26: Padres vs The Uncontrollable Urge to Suck
Minnesota Twins @ San Diego Padres
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
