Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

Smells Like Padres in Here - Friday Edition

Stupid, stupid, stupid Brewers.  You screwed up our season last year and you're gonna do it again this year.  I just know we're only gonna lose 99 games. 

“There are some major league victories left in Shawn's arm,” Padres manager Bud Black said before last night's game.  Um, probably only if the Padres re-sign him, but whatever.

Gerut may be out for another week.  Just take the rest of the year off, Jody.

The Nationals would like people to attend their games next season, so they are lowering ticket prices.  (Via Drama)

Josh Geer takes on C.C. Music Factory Sabathia tonight.  Sabathia is 9-0 in 11 starts for Milwaukee.  Sorry, Padres.  Game time is 5:05pm PDT.

I'm glad

The Nationals dropped their ticket prices AFTER I already acquired my Padres/Nationals tickets.

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

Padres needed to win yesterday

As much as I need them to tank for our draft pick, yesterday was my bday so it was good to see them deliver a good present. BTW, how signable would Strasburg be for the Padres considering their payroll? Not sure if people have discussed this yet.

Extremely signable

Draft picks make next to nothing compared to real major league players. The only problem is that all the money is given up front so it basically needs to be planned for in the current payroll of the team. If the Padres do plan to go with a lowered payroll next season ($50 mill or so) then it would be easy to foresee that they could spend in excess of $10 mill to sign the guy.

With all due respect, you are not allowed to find our division rivals sexy.

People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.

droves of Lincoln Town Cars and VW Caberet’s coming down the 15.

Reminds me of the south park episode

when the old people were unknowingly commiting vehicular manslaughter. STAY OFF THE 15 PEOPLE!

I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

I imagine Bud Black posing questions to the team like this all the time

“When we are on the basepaths, don’t you guys think we should use the infield fly rule?”

“What is the sign for bunting when we are out in the field?”

“If we hit and run, can Adrian still make that stop at first?”
