Smells Like Padres in Here - Tuesday Edition

This may be the weirdest season ever.  Last night's win over the Dodgers was as confusing as a win has ever been.  As was discussed in the OT, it was tough to figure out how to root.  On one hand, we hate the Dodgers and watching them lose is always cool, especially when they are in a pennant race.  But on the other hand, I want 100 losses, I wanted Maddux to pass Mindy McCready's old boyfriend on the wins list and beating the Dodgers sort of helps Arizona, which sucks.  STOP MAKING BASEBALL SO HARD, PADRES!!!

It was the off-speed pitches.

The pitching staff misses Maddux.

Another in the long line of Hoffman Wants To Return articles.

I am pretty sure that if I ever run into John M. from Port Hueneme, I will fight him.

Wade LeBlanc takes on Hiroki Kuroda tonight.  I'm hoping Wade has a better outing tonight than he did last week.  I almost want the Padres to win.  Game time is 7:05pm PDT.

It’s stuff like this that makes WG an all-around great guy!

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

John M. From Port Hueneme

I wonder – does the M stand for McAnulty? Only a relative could believe that Cheesy Mac wasn’t given enough chances.

Robert M. From Spring Valley Lake – I thought Yoda was from Tatooine?

Poor Brock

I like to imagine they keep him locked in a bubble so he can’t get away. Every once in awhile he goes a little nuts:

Well, I like Peavy’s range and all but it is going to be tough to cover the field with just four players!

And he laughed and he laughed…

Missiles locked:

Kill w/fire

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

I'm going to the game tonight...

Does anyone have a definitive answer on WHO to cheer for?

I would say the percentage of cheering for the Duds goes down once Maddog is not on the Hill. Significantly.

Alas, this is not the full answer I was looking for.

Noted.

Will do. When it’s LIVE, its cheer for the homeboys.

Besdies, once the Doyeurs got Crusty Dreadlocks-Nasty Batting Helmut Boy on the team, I REALLY can’t.

Judging from the Petco Park crow reaction

“Crusty Dreadlocks-Nasty Batting Helmut Boy” is the new Barry Bonds.

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

So true

Everytime he came up, annoying LOUD Doyeur Fan cheering.
Doyeur fan popping up every time he fouled/swung/whatever.

When Manny came out to patrol LF, annoying Doyeur Fan standing up and yelling at him, “Hi, Manny!” and waving.Lame-o.

I liked Harry’s “MANNY WHO?” sign, though.

Merriman is done for season.

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