Open Thread, 6/27: Padres vs Mariners

Seattle Mariners @ San Diego Padres


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!

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.

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. :(

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.
