Do you know what the first recorded song was that referred to baseball? "The Baseball Polka" way back in 1858. You'd think Polka artists would have had something better to write about back in the old timey times, but you'd be wrong.
It wasn't until the 1970's that a Polka artist revolutionized baseball again. Some Swiss accordion player wrote a song called "Dance Little Bird" which later became famous as... wait for it... "The Chicken Dance".
Go Padres!

Pitch sequence to Adrian
breaking balls down down down down, let him swing himself into a two-strike hole and then bust him upstairs with a fastball on the hands for strike three. When he laid off the breaking crap in the dirt, he’d either walk or get that pitch he could hit 450 feet. Now he’s back in that routine of swinging at crap that bounces off the plate. As I see it on Gameday, pitch #4 is a home run pitch, he just missed it. Ahh well … so goes life.
so excited to see Tubby and the Thatch-hole on the team tomorrow

Did I miss something?
Tubby ain’t on the 40 man is he?
With all due respect, you are not allowed to find our division rivals sexy.

I think Clint Hurdle borrowed Buddy's US Weekly
I mean seriously, if you’re going to pinch hit for the pitcher, swing the damn bat. If you want a bunt, let the pitcher bunt. Save the bench players. Hell, if he’s gonna strike out, the pitcher can do that too.
Well...
it’s better to get all the bad juju out of our systems BEFORE playing the Dojirs.
How weird will it be facing Mad Dog tomorrow?
Not so much weird as frustrating
as he holds us to two hits over seven innings and we get pounded.
Dodgers suck on the road but somehow turn into a division-winning team at home.
Get Gerut into the game
I don’t give a damn whats broken or torn or sprained/strained whatever. Give him an AB.
I went to NASCAR instead
YaY Jimmie Johnson.
He had the pole and led the entire race except for about 5 laps.
Going to Smell-A with a friend to watch the Padres.
I heard Manny’s dreads are even scarier in person.
Chicks Dig the Bullpen. Last years'. This year's is meager.
