Open Thread: 7/18, Friars vs. Redbirds
San Diego @ St. Louis
I really hope Maddux wins tonight. I know it's fun to root for the Padres to lose, but I just feel terrible for Maddux. He's started twelve games now without a win. When was his last win? May 10th. Let that sink in for a minute.
The 42-year-old, who has five losses, seven no-decisions and a 4.11 earned run average during that rough patch, has often been victimized by San Diego's sluggish offense, as the Padres have scored three runs or less eight times during his winless span.
Go Padres!! Go Maddux!

Damn
I just realized that all we have to do is go 25-41 the rest of the way to reach our goal.
Should be easy enough… from pretenders to contenders… It’s gonna be Christmas in September for WG!

Why is it that our power hitters are always getting Jammed. Especially GIles, he is always getting jammed and popping the ball up.

vasgersian talking about the bunt criticism
Didn’t Matt and Mud make the very same criticisms last night?
And that homer was Khalil trying to explain why he shouldn’t be pinch hit for with minor leaguers.

seeing the guys so much more clearly on television as opposed to computer screen and in real time… It makes the pain of losing that much more distinct.

Flag Protocal
The blue field should be facing east or north. It’s facing east, so it’s all good.

On the plus side...
This DEFINITELY isn’t one of those “Greg Maddux Hard Luck Losses.” I love you Greg, but they got you 6 runs.
Wait a minute…..is this payback? Sneaky, Maddux. Sneaky.

I'd just like anyone at mlb.tv or Cox Cable or the Padre front office
to please understand: I will gladly pay twice what mlb.tv costs now if I can listen to my hometown announcers instead of having to suffer through every person the Cardinals, D-Backs, Giants, Rockies or whoever else has decided to employ. Thank you. I realize this has something to do with the vagaries of the Cox contract. Cox: Please take my money. I’ll bring bags of it IF I DON’T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS JUST TO WATCH MY PADRES.
Vin Scully, you are exempted. It’s not even that these Cardinals announcers are that bad….They’re probably fine. I just hate them because they’re Cardinals announcers.

Why are we tied?
We should be down by at least five at this point.

I liked this Rick Ankiel better
Greg Maddux walked; Rafael Furcal popped to Will Clark in foul territory; Ankiel threw a wild pitch (Maddux to second); Ankiel threw a wild pitch (Maddux to third); Andruw Jones walked; Ankiel threw a wild pitch (A. Jones to 2nd); Chipper Jones was called out on strikes; Andrés Galarraga walked (Maddux scores, A. Jones to 3rd on wild pitch); Brian Jordan singled to Ray Lankford (A. Jones scored, Galarraga to 2nd); Ankiel threw a wild pitch (Galarraga to 3rd, Jordan to 2nd); Reggie Sanders walked; Walt Weiss singled to Lankford (Galarraga scored, Jordan scored, Sanders to 2nd); Mike James replaced Ankiel; Javy López popped to Fernando Viña; 4 R, 2 H, 0 E, 2 LOB. Braves 4, Cardinals 6.[2]
