1984 was our greatest season
and, um, no, there was no ring then either.

Older = wiser and more attractive
And I am a Garvey Homerun lover.

Probably
Unless Langston STILL doesn’t get that call against the 84 team…

There was just no possible way it wasn't a strike.
I bet even Steinbrenner was up in his box saying: “Whoa. What a horrible call.”
That or
“Hey. We’re gonna win another World Series.”

They effing showed that pitch
again.
I exclaimed some non-family-friendly language and left my section to save yet another dollar on PETCO beer. (stone!)
can you cure us of this fate
mock the litany in its face
Hello Padres fans
I hope nobody minds if I chime in every now and then; no, I won’t be obnoxious if we score a run, because frankly, the Braves couldn’t score with their own wives and girlfriends right now. Oh yeah, and we’re also like 2-12 in our alternative road-blue jerseys. Amen, did Maddux just make that opening frame look like little league. We miss the heck out of him down in Atlanta.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Speaking for everybody
Nobody minds. Welcome, as always:)

The kindness is appreciated
You guys are far the friendliest “away fans” I’ve encountered.

The AZ Snakepit disagrees with you
But thank you.

I've seen some jabs
On their site directed at GLB, but, not my place.

Heck yeah
Thanks, the Natural was one of those life-inspiring books to me. The book, and the movies. I was pulling for him, Benny the Jet, and Kelly Leak in your earlier deciding.

What bothers me
Is that it seems like it took 15 minutes for Florida to win their first World Series and then Arizona won 5 minutes after that and then Florida got another one.
Shit TORONTO got two back to back…
How long must we wander in the championship desert?
At least
Non-fans don’t throw in “14 consecutive division titles, but only one World Series!!!” to you guys.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
It gets old sometimes
But I suppose every team has to deal with non-fan harassment to some degree. Yankee fans probably get a lot of crap about not winning a title since 2000, Cubs fans, as you mention are getting the 100 year crap, etc…
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
It's been that way
a lot lately. The Chargers seem to suffer from a similar malady.
But then again, after having to watch these teams in the past (and in the case of the Padres, now), it certainly could be worse.
Dodger Fan
At my office always pulls the “history” card on me and I love reminding him that half of their beloved history was in NEW YORK
What an a-hole….
The game I went to at PETCO in the end of May
I was sitting in front of a guy in 109 who said he was Jody Gerut’s brother in law, and was screaming his lungs out every single at-bat.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Did you see, though that he got his first walk??

Vaughn
You know what’s funny about Greg Vaughn? In ‘98, he wasn’t exactly a speed guy….but he caused some serious havoc on the base paths that season.
And Maddux steals second! For naught, but still
wouldnt’ have seen that coming

Wow
There is nothing more I can say about the turn events of Maddux. I hope there is a member who is going to YouTube/animated GIF that there…
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
You know what, you guys can have this game.
I’ve already witnessed history.
17 perfect games
14 unassisted triple plays
11 Greg Maddux stolen bases.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
He wants win 351
and will do whatever to get it, pretty cool! Especially since they manufactured one off him

just got here
whose in the booth with matty?
May you be mounted by a rabid dog. You're lower than rat excrement.
i was watchign it while it was loading
it was all in slow mo haha
but thanks for the vid. :)

Yeah, sorry about the slo-load, but if I shrunk it any further, “Maddux” would’ve been illegible on the jersey. I figure I can be forgiven for the delay in load time for the sake of visibility . . . right? :-)
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
haha forgiven
cuz it made me laugh :P
but its funny how right before he steals it, its like he just was all what the hell im going
May you be mounted by a rabid dog. You're lower than rat excrement.
I was sitting right behind there
..in Section 109 and I swear I saw Texiera back away from the back and I thought to myself that Maddux had just told him he was too old to be stealing so he might as well back away and not bother holding him on – and then he bolted!! I laughed so frigging hard and of course gave him a standing ovation for it. Lordy I hate that we cannot win for this amazing pitcher.
OMG awesome!
I was laughing until the inning was over!!!!
Save this image, this is the oldest pitcher to steal a base EVER!
can you cure us of this fate
mock the litany in its face
I can't believe
we lost to colt morton
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world. -Babe Ruth
