San 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!!

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.

of his savior reputation to openly admit they love him

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?
