SLPiH - Saturday Edition

When you win, you really lose. The Padres reached the end of play with a higher total of runs, and they added one under the W column, but everybody knows what really went on. After the stalemate lasted long into the night, Chase "The Savior" Headley breaks it with an RBI triple. It's like that time that the water got turned into wine, except everybody really just wanted water.

The Padres visited a Naval hospital on Thursday.

When video replay works, good things can happen.

Optimist Island: Closed for hurricane, suckfest

Pessimist Peninsula: Everything!

Strasburg Status: Those damn Mariners managed to sneak a loss in as well. Tragic Number stands at 5.

Mr. No-Hitter Tease takes the mound in Round 2. I don't think his wife is expecting a baby, so I don't think we're going to be as lucky today. Game time is 4:10PM PT. ... Padres!

FIVE. FREAKING. HOURS.

I guess this kind of game was to be expected with the two worst teams in the league with nothing to play for except draft positioning. I took some interesting pictures that I will eventually post when I get back home, since I have no media reader here in Washington. But I guess there’s a reason why Headley is called the Savior here, as he did bust the game open in the 14th. Every time I told my dad that Adrian was the best player on the team, he flew out. I was in the bathroom each time he drove in runs.

By the 14th, there were hardly any Nationals fans, and a surprising amount of Pads fans sticking around. Most of whom I spoke to claimed to be legitimately from San Diego for this suck-fest. Lots of interesting comments heard by locals:
“We can beat the Padres . . . right?”
“Headley? Hundley? Hensley? WTF?”

Oh and one funny thing, Oakland vs. Seattle out West ended before this game did. In fact, in about the 12th inning, the out of town scoreboard in Washington rolled over to “today” scheduled games. And the PA announcer said as everyone left to come back “later today” for the scheduled game between the Nationals and Padres. Sorry, I’m getting tanked elsewhere tonight.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
