Open Thread, 8/29: Padres vs Rockies

Colorado Rockies @ San Diego Padres

Some people don't think ketchup belongs on hot dogs. Personally, I could care less what those people think should go on my hot dogs. To combat this tyranny, I propose that somebody make a hot dog that's filled with ketchup beforehand just to eff with the hot dog snobs' sensibilities.

Of course, as soon as you put that hot dog on the barbecue or plumped it up in water, the ketchup inside would boil and explode the hot dog, thereby creating a delicious soup. Then everybody's happy.

GO PADRES!!!

You guys better not mess it up and Matt Bush this.

The Giants?

They’re not even in the running.They just swept our sorry asses. It’s us, the EVIL Mariners (how I hate them so) and the damn Nationals.

by Drama on Aug 29, 2008 8:13 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Hey I know who has the picks,

But the Nationals wouldn’t even pay for Aaron Crow, the Mariners are run by morons, and well, you guys did have that one time… don’t be embarrassed… no, no it happens to everybody…

Anyway, just make sure he doesn’t go to San Fran. That’s all I’m saying.

by Rox Girl on Aug 29, 2008 8:16 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

The Evil Mariners

Have replaced a lot of the morons. They might actually be smart enough to make a good pick now, especially if anyone in the FO reads Lookout Landing

This is true...

But they didn’t exactly get rave reviews for their attempts to deal Washburn, so I think they may have a little way to go. At any rate, hopefully we can help make that a moot point this weekend and give you some separation.

by Rox Girl on Aug 29, 2008 8:27 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

That's just an interim GM though, right?

Who knows? Could be KT doing the picking for the Mariners.

Even if we do "Matt Bush" it

He’s still local, we just have to.

I'll agree with you on the Nationals thing.

They might not pony up the dough.

But the Mariners will take him just to screw us…they are our most bitter rival.

by Drama on Aug 29, 2008 8:27 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I forgot about that.

Yeah. I think our most bitter rival this season was Minnesota. Next year it might be Detroit, it’s kind of a complicated triangle bitter rivalry I guess.

That was a pitful, poor excuse for a game

Passed ball, errors, a buttload of walkies, wild and crazy pitches.
Luigi in a scary-ass wig.
Elvis clones in shiny suits.

And, the hair on the back of my neck, standing straight up.

Oh, we picked up ground on the Strasburg? Good times.

Only 1.5 Back!!!

17. Speaking to reporters, IOC president Jacques Rogge criticized:
(a) The Chinese government, for reportedly sentencing two protest-permit-filing septuagenarian women to a labor re-education camp
(b) The IOC, for reportedly cutting a secret deal allowing Chinese Internet censorship of foreign journalists
(c) The Chinese government, for revoking the visa of former Olympian and Team Darfur activist Joey Cheek
(d) The IOC, for saying nothing about Cheek
(e) Bolt, for being happy
