Open Thread, 6/27: Padres vs Mariners
Seattle Mariners at San Diego Padres, Jun 27, 2008 7:05 PM PDT
I wonder if you could take 9 guys made up of current Padres and Mariners and actually have a semi-decent baseball team. I'm going to guess no. Furthermore, I'm going to guess that if left to their own devices, they would somehow manage to leave Adrian Gonzalez and Ichiro Suzuki off the team.
I'm hoping we see a black hole of suck tonight.
Oh and Brett Tomko is back. WE'RE BUYERS, BABY!

it's the craziest thing
there was an argument on a close play and the umpire and bud black were arguing and apparently they got so hot and bothered that they started making out.
not at first
but when nobody could break up the fight, the grounds crew came out with the hoses and tried spraying them down to “cool things off”.
wow half hour in
and no one here. has no one come to watch suckfest 98?

my question
is why don’t we go retro every friday night? like the royals blue jays and brewers that would be the one thing that could turn this season around
this is what terrible teams do
load the bases and don’t score anybody. it’s like looking in a mirror.
This is like that level in Mortal Kombat

There's an idiot infront of me
playing invisible drums with his darts!
He’s performing with increasing verve because he thinks I’m looking/smiling at him. I’m squinting to see the tv to find out what inning the janks are in, to see how long before they put this game on.
This might not be a safe place to sit at all. :(

I figured out
that we aren’t really that bad. We just happen to go against the reincarnation of gibson/koufax/johnson/ and cy young EVERYnight. And i mean who are we kidding winning 32 wins against that type of competition is pretty amazing

For the protestors and the lazy ones
Yo, Adrian!Greatest season that nobody’s talking about? Adrian Gonzalez has knocked in 66 runs this season. That would be impressive enough if Gonzalez played for any team.
But Gonzalez doesn’t play for any team. He plays for the Padres, who currently rank 29th in the major leagues in scoring with 293 runs. Gonzalez has driven home 22.5 percent of those runs.

Interesting contest yesterday
The Astros would have had to beat the Rangers by 12 runs to tie the interleague series in wins and force the Silver Boot to be awarded to the team with the most runs scored in the series. Close, but no boot.

Man, if we could just barely hit
We could surpass that record, no problem. Ugh, Padres make me sick.
It could be worse
We could be getting 1 hit and losing 10-0.

on the bright side, our whole division sucks too

Dodgers were the only NL West winners tonight (although the haven't one yet, but it's pretty safe at this point)
