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.

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

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.
