Speaking of hot dogs... How did the Coca-Cola company get away with their name being shortened to "coke"? Coke is what yuppies from the '80s snort with their turned up snob noses so that they can continue to believe that they're better than you. Isn't that the kind of brand association that you want to avoid?
If I were Coca-Cola, I'd only shorten it a little bit and drop the "ola". Then people would call it a "Co-Kack". I know it sounds a little bit like, "Cold Cock", but isn't that better than being associated with drugs?
Stay in school.
GO PADRES!!!

Gosh.
The aztecs were awful last year, but we at least had a few pretty damn good individual players. This year, they are all in the NFL and we have like 90% freshman playing with converted TEs playing DL. This is ugly.

I don't like Kouzmanoff in the three hole
Putting him in front of Adrian makes me far too nervous … he strikes out too much to be there. That spot belongs to Giles.
Aztecs look like the chargers
Fumbling snaps and missing tackles.

should be batting 5th or 6th. Giles should bat 2nd. Adrian 4th. We really don’t have a 3 hitter.

If you had to pick one position player to throw an inning
Who would it be?
"...do hereby declare that I am not a member of the Human race (not an earthling) and in fact am an alien from another planet other than earth. I hope that this will prove to the person that is putting electric shocks to my head that I am an alien. I am declaring this so that I am not in any violation of any world or international laws of the earth as I am showing by this admission that I am in fact an alien."
Too actually try to pitch well?
Or which would be the funniest.

either way
If he wasn’t DL’d, I would want to see Kahlil throw an inning.

I was just going to say that.
He’d probably be a better pitcher than hitter.

The IGDs have been retired. They were fun for a while, then they weren’t, and now they’re gone. If you wish to chat with fans during the game, I have two recommendations:
Go to Gaslamp Ball. They do a great job, and I’m sure they’d be happy to have you join them.

there was another guy running on the field tonight
it looked like the same shorts as the pooka-shelled guy
he ran across the outfield from RF to the bullpen and jumped the fence
I had just received my degree in Calcium Anthropology... the study of milkmen.
~*Chicks Dig 3rd Basemen*~
I was near the bullpen
when that happened.
It was a pale, white, young dude, with nuthin on but his boxers and white socks.
He ran across the field like a bat outta hell, laughing hysterically.
