PrintAtlanta Braves at San Diego Padres, Jul 11, 2008 7:05 PM PDT
Seems like forever since the Padres have played with the day game followed by an off day.
Beach Towel night!
Go Padres!!

Another reason why Bud is a bad manager.
Jody Gerut has been completely forgotten about. I know Hairy is hot right now and The Savior needs to be in the line-up everyday…but Giles has been hurt and RF should be Jody’s until Giles gets back. When every guy on the team except Aid was sucking…Gey hit .323 in the month of June. All of the sudden, Hairy gets hot and Bud forgets Gey is even on the team. In our last five games he’s started one game and had a total of 6 at-bats. Stupid.
I think it's because of the lefty-lefty,
He doesn’t hit lefties well at all, I heard them say, and besides, why would you take Scotty out? I also heard them say Gerut can’t really play right field
by kdukat on Jul 11, 2008 7:40 PM PDT up reply actions
He can play center and left...but not right?
I don’t want them to take Hairy out. I want Gey in RF over Chip Ambres.
And I don’t buy the lefty-lefty thing…when he’s had the chance to bat against lefties this season..he’s hit .282 in 39 at-bats against them.
One more thing about Gey.
He’s played in more career games as a right fielder (210) than as a left fielder (59) or a center fielder (77) combined. He can play right.
It's not my personal opinion
just what I was hearing from the announcers a couple of nights ago. He does have two rebuilt knees, maybe he is just resting them like someone else said
by kdukat on Jul 11, 2008 7:59 PM PDT up reply actions
Oh. I know.
I’m just very defensive of my Gey.
Starting Chip Ambres three nights in a row while a guy that hit .334 in June sits on his ass is stupid. Typical Harry.
Yeah, maybe there is something we don't know
about him asking for time or something

Speaking of which
He’s making rehab assignments in low A

Yes, something ridiculous like that
And never saw the light of day.

True
but Chip Ambres is really named Raymond Payne, which totally rules

Bud's not a bad manager
He just has bad days. We all do. As far as Gerut goes, he probably asked for the days off. You gotta remember bro, that he is coming off a couple of years of not playing and the grind could be getting to him. Go Padres! I know you can win!!!!!!!!
"Yesterday was yesterday. Today is today.
There is no tomorrow. Make it today."
Very polite
They are all out and about at the stadium selling gift bags for 40 bucks that have a signed baseball of random Padres. It was a good cause, now I can’t remember.
It was Edgar's wife
I only know that because I saw their One on One and that was her, Christina Gonzalez, Adrian’s wife is named Betsy.

Tonight
Tonight is Out at the Park night at Petco.
So, if a GLBer doesn’t make a comment in the Open Thread tonight…it’s safe to assume they are at the game…which means they must be gay.
(This does not apply to WG. WG is in Dallas. But if he were in San Diego he’d be prancing around the Toyota Terrace in a pair of hot pants and a half shirt.)
So you're at the game then?

Just like that. One run.
I’m keeping the faith…
"Yesterday was yesterday. Today is today.

Kotsay
I can’t believe he’s still in the League…with all his back injuries and others…I just never thought he’d hang around this long.
Who's gonna post the pic of his wife?

We can't play Kotsay without seeing this
It’s just tradition

omg
Sorry for chiming in way after the game was ended, but over on my side of the fence, we post this picture after every Braves win. However, we photoshopped it to represent our own colors, and have a corresponding jersey color for whatever we’re wearing that day. Sample:
We posted the quad-version in honor of our sweeping of the Mets in four-straight earlier in the season.
Unfortunately, sad to say (for us), but good for you guys tonight; we haven’t been posting the image much more a whole lot this season. :(
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Wow
You guys here are as gonzo about Jamie Kotsay as we are. Later this season, they’re doing a “Braves Wives Mystery Ball” promotion, where Braves wives’ (hopefully including Kotsay) will be walking around Turner Field, selling mystery bags with an autographed baseball inside of it. Several of us have decided that it is imperative to find Jamie Kotsay that evening.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
However . . .
Do you guys have shirts???
Never mind that #21 is a retired Braves number (Warren Spahn). It adds to the ironic humor that Jamie Kotsay holds higher priority to one of our own retired legends.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Yes we do

Hmm are they GLB shirts, or are they Jamie Kotsay shirts? ‘Cuz Talking Chop doesn’t even have their own shirts, but the Kotsay shirts were made independently, for ‘Choppers.. . regardless, I’d love to see what your guys’ shirts look like, if I may have a link please?
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

We’ve got the Retired Numbers shirt which seems to be sold out. We also have the Khalil OS shirts.

They always call him the Crushin Russian, but I heard another teammate say the name is more like Macedonian/Serbian, so it should be Mashin Macedonian

You play Giles and you keep Hairston in there
I think it’s fine to sit Gerut behind Giles, but it seems odd to sit him behind Ambres. If Hairston comes back to Earth, then you platoon him and Gerut.

Here Comes The Heat
“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”

I’m rolling thunder, pouring rain
I’m coming on like a hurricane
My lightning’s flashing across the sky
You’re only young but you’re gonna die
I won’t take no prisoners won’t spare no lives
Nobody’s putting up a fight
I got my bell I’m gonna take you to hell
I’m gonna get ya, satan get ya
Hells bells
Hells bells, you got me ringing
Hells bells, my temperature’s high
Hells bells
I’ll give you black sensations up and down your spine
If you’re into evil, you’re a friend of mine
See the white light flashing as I split the night
Cos if good’s on the left then I’m sticking to the right
I won’t take no prisoners won’t spare no lives
Nobody’s puttin’ up a fight
I got my bell I’m gonna take you to hell
I’m gonna get ya satan get ya
Hells bells
Hells bells, you got me ringing
Hells bells, my temperature’s high
Hells bells
Hells bells, satan’s coming to you
Hells bells, he’s ringing them now
Those hells bells, the temperature’s high
Hells bells, across the sky
Hells bells, they’re taking you down
Hells bells, they’re dragging you down
Hells bells, gonna split the night
Hells bells, there’s no way to fight
Hells bells
