PrintSan Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jul 4, 2008 6:40 PM PDT
Happy Independence day!
It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more. - Jon Adams, 1776
The Padres are taking care of the sports part of it today, but we've got to take care of the rest.
We have some guy named Baek (1-4) who is supposedly a Padre, but I've never heard of him, pitching for us today. Haren (8-4) is getting the start for the opposing team. Nick Hundley is up and I'm down with that.
Go Padres!!

I don't understand the question
Usually our throng of teenage girl readers fawn over young ball players and I haven’t heard anybody openly crush on Headley. He looks like fresh meat to me.
maybe they are afraid
of his savior reputation to openly admit they love him
or too busy hugging the tv

Getting an “Awakenings” vibe? You know that movie with DeNiro, where the catatonic patients are awake for short periods of time. ‘Cause I’m definitely getting that vibe. Odds are, catatonic again tomorrow.

I just got home from fun and frivolity at my sister's house
And NOBODY saw the Claw hugging up on Giles in the bullpen during the game??? SOMEBODY must have seen that! It was on Channel 4, clearly to us at home watching.
Giles walks over to the bullpen and waits for Heath to come out. Then, Giles walks into the bullpen. Right after he walks in, Cla comes right over and puts his arm around Giles’ waist. We watched several times to make sure. Yes, Cla put his arm right around Giles, kinda provocatively. Hmmmm. Again, I say hmmmm. Anybody got DVR?

I saw it!
I’m just watching the game on DVR right now and when I saw it I burst out laughing and played it back about 4 times to confirm what I saw. Too funny.

i remember watching it and seeing something like that
but it cut to fast for me to take a double look

Someone needs to replay it on DVR
and either screen capture it or make a little video.
I was watching with my Mom and 2 sisters. We were all like, “NO WAY!” “PLAY THAT AGAIN!”
I fully expect Brian to wrap his arms around another dude, but Cla? Huh uh.

it's crappy, but
WMP is being an asshat and won’t let me make caps so I made a ghetto cap
but it really doesn’t do it justice.
by absolute_islander on Jul 5, 2008 1:43 PM PDT up reply actions
hmm
attempt #2
but again, it’s pretty crappy. Hopefully someone out there has better skills than I do.
by absolute_islander on Jul 5, 2008 2:15 PM PDT up reply actions
That's what I saw.
Bell leaving and Cla and Brian looking like they need to get a room.
Somethings going on in there…
