Open Thread: 6/30, Padres vs. Rockies
San Diego @ Colorado
The streaks meet in Coors Field. The Padres have an eight game losing streak going into tonight's game and the Rockies have a seven game losing streak. Two streak enter and only one makes it out alive!
Who will have the worst record in the NL West? Let's find out!
Also Dex and Jon will be at the Padres / Rockies game this Wednesday if anybody is going to the game out there. If you're following along at home they are in Nashville for the night.
Go Padres!!

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.

OK, everybody.
Let’s just all calm down…this is a bad start…but we can recover. Remember when we had that 3-0 lead on the Twins???

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

He’s been terrible here. It’s like he just forgot how to hit. He was never good defensively…but he could always hit.

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.
