Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Open Thread: 8/25, Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Diego Padres

Uh oh.  I'm wondering if Dex and jbox are punishing us tonight for today's behavior and all the fat jokes.  Maybe they aren't going to give us an Open Thread.  I blame Drama and TheGrandHatching for this.  They started it.  Always blame the ones who started it. 

Or maybe they just figured that we were going to lose this game so they figured they didn't want to waste the Internet's time with an OT.  I could understand that.

Whatever the reason, I guess this is the OT for now.  Go Padres.  Sort of.

Perception vs. Reality

I’m trying to find baseball tickets for the Nationals in DC – and people are seriously asking for $60 a pop for dugout seats. Now I know they’re dugout seats, but it’s also the Washington Nationals. When I came to Petco earlier this year, I found a realistic thinking woman in Mira Mesa who sold me her dugout tickets for $30 a pop, down from a face value of $55.

$60 a ticket to watch the Nationals (worst) vs. Padres (2nd worst) or Braves (3rd worst)? Pffhhhahahahahahaha. I think not.

Obviously they know nothing of the Strasburg

Especially since the Dback announcers are the most solicitious, friendly crew in baseball...

Every time I listen to them it’s nothing but complimentary things about the opposition, and witty banter, and just fun for any kind of baseball fan, such deep knowledge of the game. They make Vin Scully sound like John Kruk, those geniuses….It’s like GOD HIMSELF created an announcing crew, and gave them to the Diamondbacks—much like Major League Baseball bankrolled an entire championship roster for those lovable Dbacks.

Unreal.

MLB.TV gives you access to all sorts of home team announcers…..the Dbacks are far and away the most insufferable, least interesting, snide crew in baseball. And it’s not close.

by goose1 on Aug 25, 2008 9:36 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Giants announcers are a total snoozefest.

But if you like 100s and 100s of crowdshots (so many that they miss actual baseball) combined with bad jokes then that’s the crew for you.

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

For some reason I'm obsessed with Padres all time lists today

Peavy, 2 IP short of tying Andy Benes in 4th place.
Giles tied Flannery for 9th on the Padres all time singles list.
Yesterday Giles passed Dave Winfield for 3rd on the Padres all time singles list.
Giles is 1 run from tying Templeton for 6th on the Padres all time runs list.

Also

if you had asked me a few weeks ago if Adrian would have passed Khalil on the HR list by the end of August I would have said yes, but he’s still two away from a tie and still tied from 10th all time with 82 (which is needless to say a pathetic amount for 10th all time, sigh).

Superclutch, Iguchi. Really. Sometimes guys like Adrian get carried away and still try to win games. Glad you have the fire to really wake them up and keep that 100 loss season intact.
