Smells Like Padres in Here - Thursday Edition

Only 10 losses away! You can do it, Padres!!!

Charlie Haeger was claimed off waivers yesterday from the White Sox. Kevin Towers then inspired Padre fans everywhere by calling Haeger "a good gamble for nothing."

I really wanna know how they settled this.

MLB will be doing lots of things today to commemorate 9/11.

A little Padres history for you.

Josh Geer takes on the Giants and Matt Cain tonight. If you'd told me at the beginning of the season that in the middle of September we'd be 10 games behind the Giants, I would've said "Oh, okay. Hey, can I have a drink of that LSD/Mushroom shake you've got right there?" Burn Notice is on, so I'll be watching that instead. Love Burn Notice. "Game" time is 7:05pm PDT. And if anyone runs into Drama and his outfit, please - no pictures.

Charlie Haeger...

I remember him. Yes, that Charlie Haeger. Go ahead, Chuck, I’d like to be wrong about this one like I was about Jimmy Baseball and Thome.

With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good!

i think we've got 100 losses in us

and in order to help the team out, i’ve been driving during games as much as possible and avoiding the OTs like the plague. and its been helping!

this weekend i will be in denver for a wedding. so thats a few more OTs that will be missed. but next week there will be a new and reinvigorated Dave here at GLB.

maybe i’ll make my presence felt over at the CHargers blog as well. you know, making rash comments with little or no factual evidence and shilling my own blog (which is woefully unupdated at this point…)

Well if daytime TV has taught me anything...

Then the Moores owner’s box conflict was resolved when the divorcing couple ran into each other, starting arguing, made sweet love and then agreed to compromise in a post-coital smoke-filled conversation.

went to a game at at&t park last saturday

and the giants fans sucked i litterally had to leave my seat to go somewhere else they were so annoying in their own friggen ballpark

so if anyone is going to the game make sure you show them how nice (most) Padres fan are… unless the ones you sit next to suck then hopefully you can get them kicked out

That's odd

I didn’t have a problem at AT&T. Of course, I didn’t sit out in the bleachers or anything. I sat up top once and at field level once. Most of the SF fans I encounter (at Petco or AT&T) are stoners or normal suburbia boring white folk taking in a friendly baseball game.

last year i went

when they played the padres and i sat next to the best dude bro giants fan ever. he was diehard (painted face and crazy knowledge) and he was one of the nicests people i’ve ever met

but when i went there last sat, i really actually said “i’ve sat next to friendlier cubs fans and dodger fans”

it was really bad. maybe it because all the fans were angry that they didn’t get there in time to get a bengie molina bobble head but they were acting like eff heads

Thank You

Giants fans are jerkfaces. So arrogant for a team that is pretty bad in a horrible division.

I did notice

That there were plenty that were really enthused about beating the Padres. They really want their sub .500 team to be better than our sub .500 team.

The day

Haha, I imagine Sam the Cooking Guy snapping and going “Gawd! Will everybody please shut up?!” then getting his hit.

The SoS comments on the Moores agreement are excellent.

It is an extension of MLB’s work with Welcome Back Veterans, which began on July 4, taking the occasion not only to remember 9/11 but also to thank those who put themselves in harm’s way each day to defend the freedom of others.

Was there a surplus in caps from July?

I left my reading comprehension at home… does that history lesson say HRs are overrated?

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

100 losses

If we manage to get to 99, then I say we throw a 100 losses OT party…
I, of course will be wearing my Paul Mc Anulty or Jim Edmonds jersey (I haven’t decided which yet), pugging vodka straight from the bottle, and celebrating a season in which "not all has been lost ".

"...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."
