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.

Sports Network:

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!

you see that budweiser "american lager" ad?

that’s InBev trying to convince you that cardinal red hasn’t actually turned into communist red.

this game is performing well below my expectations

i fully expected the cardinals to have a 4 run lead by now.

Jammed

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.

it's so weird

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.

wait what?

I thought the blue was always supposed to be in the upper left corner.

We’ve been conserving them and depositing them in IndyMac. Now there’s a run on the bank!

You don’t deserve a trade now. This is your team.

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.

Why are we tied?

We should be down by at least five at this point.

Maddux can’t win, right? Just wanna make sure we screw him one more time.

by Winfield's Ghost on Jul 18, 2008 7:47 PM PDT   0 recs

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]
