PrintSan Diego Padres at Pittsburgh Pirates, Jul 26, 2008 4:05 PM PDT
Last night's win was huge, I think the Padres have really started to turn the corner. All the pieces are in place for a run at the playoffs. We're only in last place and 13 games back in the NL West.
Game starts at 4:05 PST.
I'll get back later to put up the line up. Will Khalil be in the line up? Will Adrian be batting fifth? No one knows!
Go Padres!!

Khalil is starting?
He IS the Weakest Link.
We should move up in the Strasburg.

all you have to do is get out to Pittsburgh in the next 2 hours
and boo the Padres. They will crack under the pressure of your derogatory tone and all will be lost. Can you do it Dave?

So this is something we don't talk about often
What do we do with Banks and Baek next year?
can you cure us of this fate
mock the litany in its face
Small sample size
Don’t you think we need some more time to determine or what do you think thus far?
"We will never be the darlings of the chabliss and brie crowd who disdain us."
Well, there's always the propaganda factor
We can hype up a small sample size.

who would be the takers?
"We will never be the darlings of the chabliss and brie crowd who disdain us."
We're going to need starters
Peavy and CY will be our only for sure guys next season.

All of them

I am marveled every time.
At least Khalil did something with it. Getting his pitch.

who is this Khalil
and what have they done with the outdated version?

The Pirates pitching is just AWFUL. AT least they havehad a good offense, so they still have a better record than us.

Holy Crap I just realized
They only have 6 pitchers in the bullpen since Marte was sent to NY and Karstens hasnt’ arrived yet. This is going to be a long night.

yay hundley!
someone go get the ball now please
You know I could go for a sandwich, but uh, I'm not gonna open two jars. I can't be opening and closing all kinds of jars.
I was thinking the same thing
They usually show someone trying to recover the special ball from a first MLB HR.
Congrats Nick Hundley!

Back to second in RBI's in the NL
and 4th in HR’s. Guy is ON FIRE the last couple of days.

it’s a relief to hear the frustration and anger in the opposing announcer’s voice instead of our own. Shock and disbelief.

They did a good job in the first three innings
and then decided to quit.
“We’ve scored enough runs, lets go back to our old form and suck.”
Be thankful they're making contact
Two months ago they couldn’t hit a beach ball … I think some of the guys have dinner reservations
oh believe me i am...
i’m just pissed that i passed out on the couch for the whole “Padres scoring” part of the game, and woke up to “2008 Padres” version in full effect (giving up runs, not hitting, etc)

wow
Mark Grant is honestly clinically retarded.
unbelievable…
