San Diego @ Pittsburgh


Clay Hensley is back in the rotation [girls screaming and fainting], this time he swears he's healthy.  Not like all the other times he swore he was healthy and wasn't.  This time it's different.  You know what else is different?  It's not 2006.  One thing for sure is he's not going back to Portland, he's not ready to be that guy anymore.

Good luck, you're gonna need it.

Remember when we had X. Nady and Bochy refused to play him? Those were the days.

Go Padres!!

Like I always say

Edgar is a GREAT hitter, but he wouldn’t make a high school team if they graded purely on defense, baserunning, and overall baseball IQ.

They have no chance.

Remeber what Nick said? “They can’t run. They can’t hit. They can’t hit with men in scoring position. They are short on power and long on a lack of plate patience. They strike out in such frightening numbers you’d think they all were chasing Barry Bonds. They can’t throw out baserunners. Their pitching - especially the bullpen - has been a huge disappointment. Their basepath decision-making is terrible.
Start after start, they find new ways to lose, the sure mark of a bad team.
Their owner, wherever he is, can’t even watch. Why should he? Why should we? Guess John Moores isn’t the glutton we are.”

Agreeing with 'tec???

Moving back to SD has messed you up.

by Winfield's Ghost on Jul 24, 2008 4:47 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

OUR YEAR!

The only thing messed up is the hopes and dreams of anybody not rooting for the Chargers this year.

It is our year.

Philip for SB MVP.

Anywhere between 10-6 and 14-2.

Impossible to predict exactly what it will be, what with injuries and any given Sunday and all.

I do think it will be a winning record and a playoff birth.

i agree but i think we are SB bound

this has to be the year we finally beat Tom Lady and the Patriots…

I'm really interested to see where the Pats end up.

Whether they succumb to the Super Bowl loser’s curse.

they got us in the playoffs man

the Pats that is

yes

But we’ve also kick their asses up and down their own field. I guess we can have a threeway rivals triangle with the Chargers, Colts, and pats.

I know

But for the most part, teams that lose the Super Bowl tend not to do well the next year. Seahawks being an exception what with the terrible condition of the NFC West.

no i agree

i was commenting on tec’s pats comment.

can the padres sign cromartie to bunt?

or put him in as a pinch runner on third so he can put the fear of God in the catcher every time he runs home.

Very possible

If Rivers can keep his head out of his culo

I still do not understand why Turner played a one-legged Rivers over a healthy Billy Volek against those cheatin’ Pats

by pasadenapadre on Jul 24, 2008 4:55 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

he played pretty well though

went from frat brat to badass in one game in my book

www.wellbelowthemendozaline.blogspot.com

by justdave on Jul 24, 2008 4:56 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Because Volek is a career backup.

Philip’s play isn’t what kept us from winning that game. He played pretty damn well considering his top two targets were down with injury.

Rivers probably would have puched Norv in the face

If he tried to take him out. He damn near got us there even with sissy boy LT sittin gon the bench.

Disagree.

Watch any LT highlight reel. No way he can make those cuts on a sprained knee. Healthy Turner was better than a hurt LT.

by maestro876 on Jul 24, 2008 4:58 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I know You're probably right

I’m just still bitter. I have no idea what kind of injury he had. Only he knows what he can or can’t do.

I wish Strasburg was a GLBer

it’d be so trippy to come online and see everyone praying for losses just for you.

What if he is?

Being a SD guy, you gotta think he knows there’s a good chance he’ll go to the hometown team.

by maestro876 on Jul 24, 2008 4:51 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Especially since TG is his coach.

I wanted to yell at Tony during the 1998 signing thing before the game to make sure Steven ONLY goes to the padres.
