Open Thread, 8/27: Padres vs Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres, Aug 27, 2008 12:35 PM PDT


What if Major League Baseball suddenly discovered that every single baseball that had been used since 1923 actually was manufactured in a Central American prison that used the human hides of criminals that had been put to death?

I'm thinking it would take at least 3 years for Bud Selig to talk the baseball "purists" into using a different material. It would take another 2 years to talk pitchers into using something different. The pitchers would say crazy things like, "I can't throw a splitter the same way unless I'm using baseballs made from human hide!"

GO PADRES!!!

I have to admit, I'm kind of rooting for 100 losses

It’s such a gaudy number that the team will have to live with this season etched into their minds for eternity. But still, sweeping AZ is awesome
