Open Thread, 7/17: Padres vs St. Louis

San Diego Padres at St. Louis Cardinals, Jul 17, 2008 5:15 PM PDT


Remember back when Matt Vasgersian absolutely trashed St. Louis? He swore he wasn't coming back and yet here he is on my television screen. 

Tonight's drinking game: Take a sip whenever Matt mentions "ozarks", "el caminos" or "humidity".

And Tony Clark is gone.

That right there is some kinda lineup. GO PADRES!!!

I’m not sure what my limit would be on spending more for SD broadcasts, but I know I would pay more if it were offered.

One time someone once said

and maybe it was Greg Maddux, that every pitcher is going to have about 10 starts out of 30 where he doesn’t have his stuff. I don’t think Jake has been off that much this year, he just seems human compared to last year.

i agree with mudd

why not keep Greene in and bunt him over so a sac fly ties it

Greene does have some speed and maybe even beats it out

i know its unrealistic to salvage the season but i’d like to see them try

My optimistic sign-off: 2005 Detroit Tigers, 71-91

2006 Detroit Tigers: 95-67. AL Pennant.

Of course, they also drafted Justin Verlander back in 2004…..Hows that guy we got doing?

I was there last night

and I thought LaRussa was gonna hand the game to the Pads in the 9th..he had Isringhausen warming up and almost brought him in…that would’ve guaranteed a 5 run inning for the Pads.

Doing some dollar bets with my friends and one of them was that Adam Kennedy would make the last out in the 8th…he hits that line shot into the gap…but your CF comes up with an awesome diving catch. My friend screams out, “I hate you center fielder!”.

I also loved the pinch hitters in the 9th….totally a Major League moment, “Who ARE these guys?”

I announced

after Glaus’ first two HR’s that he’d hit the next one within 10 ft of the warning track.

Lost 2 bucks on that one when he hit one to shallow Right Center.

I also called that Peavy would get a hit, but no one took it fast enough.
