Open Thread, 6/28: Padres vs Mariners

by Dex on Jun 28, 2008 6:29 PM PDT

Seattle @ San Diego

I'm in the middle of getting ready for the Great Move of '08. Jonny Dub and I will be at the Cardinals game on Tuesday and hopefully the Rockies vs the Padres on Wednesday.

The truck we're driving is HUGE. I was afraid that we'd atract hobos because there's so much space in the back so I bought a masterlock. No space for you, hobos!

As it happens, it's also Jonny Dub's birthday today. He's at the game right now. Don't tell him, but we sent along a blonde Marilyn Monroe wig to Pad Squad Andre. We're gonna try to get PSA to do a sexy little ditty.

Here's the lineup so you guys can look at it and be like, "oh look. the lineup."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JONNY DUB!

Happy Birthday Johnny Dubya

We are about to leave for the game, it’s a great give-away tonight. I hope to see the crew.

Gaslampball rules. Hurry up and get home Dex, we and the Padres miss you.

Padres fan since 2006

Aww..I missed you!

Sat in the front of section 229 tonight. Seemed like old times….except that the Padres sucked….

Thanks Everybody!

I gotta hurry up and get down there! I’m so late!

But now I know about PSA and I might have to lay low tonight.

AH FUDGE

WTF are you still doing online? I’m calling the whole thing off!

by Dex on Jun 28, 2008 6:47 PM PDT up 0 recs

so they just showed a sneak peak of Heath Bell's "one on one with Jane Mitchell"

and they show him doing a fake cooking show and making a peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich.

i just imagine McAnulty looking at the screen and nodding…

Is that supposed to be a satire of that Sam, the cooking guy?

Or whatever that show’s called. I like that he always eats things really hot, doing the “chew and blow.”

by SD Chick N on Jun 28, 2008 7:05 PM PDT up 0 recs

There's nobody else here, is there?

Is this going to be like when I went to go see “Village of the Damned” and there was no one else in the theater? Because I was really scared.

SD Chiiiiiiiick Nnnnnnnn....

wooooooooooo…. scaaaarrry alooooonneee!

I think I just peed a little

Hey, have a good road trip. You should have Johnny Dub drive the truck and you can drive next to him in a sports car to distract the police a la “Smokey and the Bandit.” You’ll make good time.

by SD Chick N on Jun 28, 2008 7:25 PM PDT up 0 recs

WOW

that looked like Padres on the basepaths, but it was the other team!

by Dex on Jun 28, 2008 7:24 PM PDT 0 recs

From the next room, I heard excited talking and the words "pick off"

I thought it was the Padres offense. Imagine my surprise!

Silva

Dude has a MILLION ERA and we are 6 up and 6 down…WG must be so happy wherever he is

That’s why his name’s on the shirt.

Padre Woes

Was Petco built on an old Native American burial ground and the bad karma is only now manifesting itself?

It looks like we are on our way to loss number 50

by pasadenapadre on Jun 28, 2008 7:56 PM PDT 0 recs

My theory

I think someone buried an old Padres jersey under the stadium while it was being built. So now we are back to old Padres styles.

by SD Chick N on Jun 28, 2008 8:02 PM PDT up 0 recs

I wonder if there is extra pressure on Adrian

Because it’s his shirt night. Does he feel like he really needs to make a big showing?

Unimpressive G-Force

generated by the suck tonight

Not nearly enough errors, and we’re not behind by enough. Slackers…

Andy in Memphis

who is of no consequence to anyone, predicted we will lose 5-4 tonight.

I laughed. Four runs… get real.

The market's not even open

and Baek is causing Samsung stock prices to tumble.

In other news, N. Korea detonated a nuclear facility this week, so they are an option for us to export to.

Dodgers 1-0

I love how the Dodgers are being NO HIT and they have a lead over the Angels

Unbef*ckinglievable…

My one joy this season is Dodger suckitude and now even this is abandoning me

by pasadenapadre on Jun 28, 2008 8:37 PM PDT 0 recs

Have no fear. Dodger suckitude is always there

Even when you can’t see it, it’s there.

by SD Chick N on Jun 28, 2008 8:39 PM PDT up 0 recs

Rockies need kneepads.

Put up 4 runs on the Tigers to take the lead in the top of the ninth, only to lose.

Riggleman seriously overestimating us

We get two hits and it’s bullpen time?

It’s Barrett!

It was some random dude on the radio

He also picked the Met, the Angels, and the White Sox.

Andy has no clue

You were right Ax.

How are we going to get 4 runs?

by pasadenapadre on Jun 28, 2008 9:14 PM PDT up 0 recs

Four more than we have?

Well I am prepared to make deals with Satan.

Just not with my own possessions.

Winfield’s Ghost is Nostradamus

In other news, the Dodgers are going to win a game in which they got NO FUCKING HITS!

I could not be more stoked right now…12 pack, here I come!

I'm concentrating on that not happening.

Here goes nothing.

i love it when we lose. i hope we just keep losing for the rest of the season.

Depressing

Just in case you were wondering where I have been. Thankfully so busy with stuff for Alex that I have largely been able to avoid the season. Now he is gone to Sweden for 5 weeks. I took him to Tuesday night’s game just before he left and then went again tonight. On freebie tickets only – I want to avoid paying for this nonsense. However, with that $1 hot dog and soda deal going on in July….maybe I’ll drop in to park again.

And…what is this about Dex coming HOME???!!
