Fodder for WG
The three-game sweep was the first by the Mariners this season, and the winning pitchers - Jarrod Washburn, Carlos Silva and Erik Bedard - were getting their first wins of June. Silva was riding a majors-worst run of 12 straight winless decisions (including nine losses) before he defeated the Padres on Saturday.

Getting swept by the Mariners and Rockies back-to-back?

Does Barret’s Gameday headshot look more like a Mii. or does De La Rosa’s?

im almost there
Barrett is soooo close to my least favorite Padre of all time.
www.wellbelowthemendozaline.blogspot.com
wholeheartedly disagree
i can’t think of one.
he’s on Boeringer and Klesko status almost.
not quite to Ryno yet (my anti-christ) but close.

In Barrett's defense...
If you read the article in SI about Josh Hamilton about a month ago…you’ll find one in there.
consider me
a Barrett defender too…
by the way, did anybody notice he changed his intro music this weekend? It had been Tool but this weekend it was __ ? something else cool

yeah and i feel bad
because the concussion has clearly left him addled, and therefore caused the game to pass him by.
but jesus. so frustrating.
i’ve said it before i’ll say it again. he was (as of last start) hitting .056 on the road.
thats not even funny anymore, its just sad
www.wellbelowthemendozaline.blogspot.com
and I'm a fan
of Luke Carlin too…
he’ll be back in a year or two and hopefully stick around the majors for a nice career

haha nice plug
oh i know. i didn’t say he was the answer either.
but at least the man has an arm attached to his torso. barrett has an old sock.
www.wellbelowthemendozaline.blogspot.com
i guess i let my frustration get the better of me sometimes
i need to learn to accept it and embrace it.
www.wellbelowthemendozaline.blogspot.com
No...it's understandable.
He’s been terrible here. It’s like he just forgot how to hit. He was never good defensively…but he could always hit.
oh wow Bowen
almost forgot about him.
if you think about it he is the blueprint for the Padres catcher of today.
hitting .215, questionable arm, silly facial hair.
he had all the pieces.

Now, in our current mental state as Padres fans, do we get excited or depressed when we have the bases loaded?
Personally, I’m leaning towards depressed, but there’s an ember of faith there that hasn’t been crushed yet. It must’ve missed the bucket of water this week has poured on it.
