We have no predictions

We've been getting requests for predictions and here's the thing, we have no predictions. We can't even predict who's going to be on the team opening day. How're we supposed to know what's going to happen at the end of the season?

There are like 73 guys in camp right now and I'm pretty sure KT wants to invite more. How are we supposed to make any kind of reasonable prediction?

Also, JBox and I were discussing the current lack of ballplayers with fiery red hair in the big leagues. My suspicion is that they all dyed it some other color after the Mark McGwire thing. It became like naming your son Adolph Adolf or growing a little moustache. Too much bad connotation.

The other thing that we're wondering is how good of a deal this 5 for 5 thing really is. Nobody invited us to the press conference, because they knew we'd ask the hard questions. How big is that hot dog? Are they going to count out the peanuts? Is the cookie like a real cookie or are they just grabbing them on at a time out of a bag of Chips Ahoy? If so, that's f___ked up because those Chips Ahoy cookies are small.

Really, maybe we've gotten to the point that there are too many food options at Petco. Nobody buys anything except for hot dogs, soda or beer anyway. Don't tell me you buy garlic fries. Nobody buys those things on purpose. Let's bring the food options down several notches.

Food Responsibility

They should really do away with the potential gastrointestinal nightmare that is the Super Nachos. What good could ever come from eating that?

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

I'll bet you that coke is a small cup

filled to the brim with ice. You take one tiny sip and it’s empty.

There were garlic fries at Petco??//?

I love those things. They had them in Seattle too. Would’ve been a great compliment to my Rubio’s fish tacos. All the Listerine in the world wouldn’t have done squat. It would’ve been awesome.

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

If you like garlic fries

then there is something wrong with you. There I said it.

This is the best I could do to convey me flipping my desk over and preparing to write you a strongly-worded email at your response.

And for the record

garlic fries are like, # 8,722 on the list of things that are wrong with me, so I’m not that worried about them.

couldnt agree more

those things stink up entire sections of the stadium, and always are mushy and taste like they’ve been sitting under a warmer since 1987.

Seattle's Garlic Fries

are over the top. I reeked of garlic for about 1 day after I ate those things. Tasty, but potent.

size matters

the soda is 22 ounces or you sub for 16oz beer for $5 more. not bad

What they aren't telling you is that...

The popcorn is unbuttered
You have to provide your own official 5 for $5 cup for the soda (which can only be purchased at the majestic store inside Petco).
Its actually packing peanuts
The cookie is infact a dog biscuit (Cross promotional effort with Petco)
And you have to provide your own bun

Lolita's makes this a moot point

You should be loading up on their burritos prior to entry anyway…though at the location of theirs I currently go to, they take their good sweet country time in serving up orders, and I don’t see how that’ll fly around Petco on a game day.

former journeyman Padre Kingsale catapults his way into baseball lore

Why do the Pads have a chance to play in the post season this year ? Well if the Eugene Kingsale led Netherlands can beat the D.R twice and almost beat Puerto Rico then darn it anything is possible. What a refreshing underdog story. I am absolutely beside myself. Wow !

It was an awesome game

Really, an awesome game all around….
