So it's gonna
be like this for a while, huh?
I’d just like to point out that if anything, I’m guilty of hyperbole. It was dumb of me to say “a few more bags”. It’s certainly not a lie. Regardless, I’d like to be able to have conversations on here without you constantly trying to undermine or derail anything I’m saying.
I’m sorry I so deeply offended you. Nobody else seemed to take issue with the points I was making today. But I’m done with this. This will be the last I mention of it.

I am not deeply offended
I just have a pet peeve for obscene homerism.
If you post things that are dishonest, you are going to get a response.
Do you really expect people to blindly and silently believe you?
I didnt even call you on the “Greene is in pretty select company with Jeter and Tejada” because he has 10+ HRs for 3 years”.
If you make outrageous statements like that, you should expect a response.
If I am on here and I see you trying to BS people, I will mention it.
I would expect that to be reciprocal.

lost their contract with the people who did the helmets and they still haven’t secured a new licensing agreement. It was a big deal when the season started. Brad Ausmus keeps getting fined for wearing his old helmet, but he’s like, “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!?!?”

True
Baek letting everything get put in play doesn’t help. But Kouz has also unnecessarily elongated this inning for him.
At least ‘Tec will be thrilled. It looks like we’re regaining our Strassburg form.

Baek is not really a pitcher
so I can’t blame him. Then again Kouz is not a 3rd baseman and Headly is not a left fielder and so on.

we have just been unlucky lately
Perhaps the team is still recovering from the China trip.
The cool damp marine layer silenced our bats.
As soon as Mark Prior joins the roster, things will turn around.
We are not as bad as the east coast biased media makes it seem.
The All Star game messed up the swings of all our hitters.
KT will spin some of his magic soon.

David Wells
First time commenting on this blog site, but I’ve been reading for months now.
At any rate, I was at the game tongith. I was given the tickets, otherwise I wouldn’t have gone, since I refuse to give any money that may line Jon Moore’s pockets.
Two highlights: 1. Sat right behind the visitors dugout (right where the foul ball screen ends)
2. Saw David Wells and got his autograph. I know he’s all around san diego, but it was still fun to see him. I told him I hated him for the comments he made when his Yankees played against us in the World Series…and he thought it was funny.
