Smells Like Padres in Here - Wednesday Edition

by Winfield's Ghost on Aug 6, 2008 7:13 AM PDT

Stop me if you've heard this one before: the bullpen wasted a dominating performance from CY. And that keystone cops performance from Rodriguez and Iguchi in the 8th inning may have been the worst fielding sequence we've seen all season.

Heath Bell doesn't miss the Mets.

A nice little story on Mike Adams. It was posted before he gave up the three run shot last night. Figures.

For the unemployed GLBers.

Wade LeBlanc is your PCL Pitcher of the Week.

Cha Seung Baek takes on Petey tonight. Normally, I'd be rooting for a huge loss tonight after last night's pathetic effort. But I seriously hate Petey and never root for that guy. Game time is 4:10pm PDT.

CY

Still don’t like that he goes 3-2 on every hitter, but I like what I’ve seen since his return (with an eye towards next year).

Bullpen: still awful.

Yeah

If he just shaved one pitch off of every AB, it would make a difference.

I imagine Giles

could help with any necessary shaving.

Here's a question:

Tadahito hitting 2nd? Can we rethink this?

by Dalton on Aug 6, 2008 8:29 AM PDT reply actions

Yeah I'm not a fan of this either.

But I don’t know what else to do with it.

I say we LaRussa it:
1. Gerut
2. Giles
3. Agon
4. Kouz
5. Headley
6. Hundley
7. LRod/Egon
8. Pitcher
9. Gooch

can you cure us of this fate
mock the litany in its face

Woody Allen once said

“80% of success is showing up”
Apparently, that is the Padres’ philosophy: “All Black asks is for his team to keep it close”
“The fact that we got close in the end, you take that as a small victory.”

We have an 80% team! Go padres, keep it close!

my god...

a job listing I’m actually qualified for… except for that whole “local” business… but then again, if they were to meet my salary expectations… though I suppose if they have to include “regular attendence” in the job description, then they’re not planning on paying all that much.

I consult the tribal elders

And they send me to the witch.

She puts rodent bones into a hollowed-out gourd and shakes them around, chanting, waving her hand around it, then spills it on the floor and examines it attentively.
