Smells Like Padres in Here - Friday Edition

WE SURRENDER!!!

Wesurrender_medium

Another night, another loss.  Getting swept by a division rival is the mark of a team that clearly doesn't give a crap anymore.  Go Padres.

It appears that Dirk Hayhurst will start Saturday against the Giants.  I'm kind of excited about that.

Jody Gerut has been one of the few bright spots this season.

Geoff Young from Ducksnorts has a cool piece up at Hardball Times on free agent overcompensation.

Cha Cha takes on Tim Lincecum tonight, as the team goes for its 80th loss of the year.  On paper, this looks like a big mismatch.  It'll probably look like that in real life, too.  Game time is 7:15pm PDT.

Cha-Cha Namdar is starting tonight? SWEET.

BTW – Last night’s Open Tread was spectacular.

yup, just waded through the ducksnorts thread too

definitely well worth it!

Do we have an update on the in-laws yet?

In other news... Padres are 48-76 when tied at the top of the first inning.

Just read through it, all of it

I think only 2 percent of the posts pertained to the game. That was awesome.

Wow

That OT was epic. I think I just rec’d 4 comments. I think 3 of those were jbox’s suggestions for a letter to Turbine Dude.

TGH's right.

“Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.”

Drama's right.

“Psychotic, but absolutely right.”

We will need a volunteer, someone who will of course be banned from GLB from this day forth for his “futile and stupid gesture” BUT he will be forever remembered as a hero and a martyr (or something)…

No volunteers? Then I say we vote! hehe

In other news... Padres are 48-76 when tied at the top of the first inning.

I hate the snake pit

Rows of lights to illuminate lines
Why don't they turn them off and let us see night
Drove crazed, grooming my lies
You can't look in on one way eyes

He's just upset

because GLB’ers actually go to games.

80 losses is apparently more attractive than anything they’ve got going.

I’m pretty impressed that the Padres can use thirty more years of team history to bring together an extra ninety people a night.

easily impressed...

you should check out the Pacific Ocean someday. It’s beautiful.

Not too esily impressed

Otherwise, I’d be a Padres fan.

Judging by the number of comments you have posted over at the Snake Pit, it would seem you’re a fairly senior member and obviously a regular. I just looked at my number of comments on the GLB and it’s very similar to yours…except for one major difference: I don’t have one single comment posted over at the Snake Pit.

There are two reasons for that:

First off, I respect our little community over here and by going over to the Snake Pit and posting negative things about the D-Backs or members of your community, it sheds a negative light not only on me…but on every member of the GLB.

And secondly, because I show your house respect by not trolling…I would hope that other members of my community, and ultimately people in your community as well, would follow that example.

Please stop embarrassing yourself and the AZ Snake Pit by coming over here. Thanks.
