Open Thread, 6/27: Padres vs Mariners

Crackerjackdex2_tiny by Dex on

Seattle @ San Diego


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.

Lineup

Seattle Mariners @ San Diego Padres

06/27/08 7:05 PM PDT

Seattle Mariners San Diego Padres
Ichiro Suzuki - RF Jody Gerut - CF

EVER

I am now a college graduate and have decided that the real world consists of sitting in the sand and going to padre games. that sounds normal right?

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.

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”.

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

by thepadfather on Jun 27, 2008 7:36 PM PDT   0 recs

this is what terrible teams do

load the bases and don’t score anybody. it’s like looking in a mirror.

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. :(

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

and i was the one who convinced the rest of the jury that OJ didn’t really murder anyone it was just some random guy who had nothing to do with the situation and OJ ran away from the cops in his bronco for a while cuz he didn’t see them chasing behind him

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.
