Ay, lets put this to a vote

I say long live Samoas, which for some reason has been renamed Carmel deLites here…
Samoas are my favorite.

Tagalongs are where it's at.
I like Thin Mints too but the sight of a Samoa makes me wanna puke.

vote samoas
Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall -- and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base! This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
SAMOAS
showing their strength!!
Where are you thin minters? Have you not the courage to stand up for your cookies?
Dulce de Leche
GF bought some of those and they were tasty too. Thin Mints are good, but nothing matches the Samoas.

I'll stick up for thin mints
They are thin, of course, but strong on flavor. Very low-profile. Just looking at a cross-section of one, a person would never guess they are minty.
Fields Double off CY
at this rate, the next batter should be an out…
Then the next batter will run backwards to second base..
red box
whatever those are called they are awesome

We got ours the other day and they're still Tagalongs and Samoas.
Maybe it’s a regional thing or something; they probably realized they had to dumb it down for SDSU grads.

I've already been to his first two.
I have tickets for tonight but I’m going to Big Bear, but my dad and my cousin, who are also both SDSU alums, are going instead.

Speaking of which.
Since I’m not going tonight, I’m probably going to need your help writing my column over at FederalBaseball.com. They gave me author status to do writeups on all of his starts but I’m going to miss this one. I have my dad and cousin taking pictures for me but I’ll need you for some analysis.

Any tips on seating etc?
I’ve never been to a game @ Gwynn Stadium, are all tickets one price?
How crowded does it get?
Tickets are free with Student ID
Otherwise I think they are $5 or $10. It is general admission except for the sections behind homeplate and behind the dugouts which is reserved for season ticket holders. The stadium should get pretty full for SS but I don’t think it will sell out. I usually sit on the thirdbase side above the Aztec dugout in the upper section because you get the best view of the pitcher’s mound from there.

1-10-DEN 18 (9:52) (Shotgun) 6-J.Cutler pass short right intended for 19-E.Royal INTERCEPTED by 93-L.Castillo (95-S.Phillips) at DEN 18. 93-L.Castillo to DEN 14 for 4 yards (62-C.Wiegmann). 6-J.Cutler pouts ob to DEN 25 for 11 yards.
If you didnt go you missed out.
Strausburg pitched 7 innings gave up 2 on 7 hits (I think) and had at least 13 K’s (I dont rember if I counting the ones he got in the 7th).
TG stadium was packed it was alot of fun.
Pretty sweet game
even though there were a couple innings where Strasburg had to battle.
Those guys were not even close to catching up with his fastball though.
I'm pretty sure Wonko is.

Or maybe they figured the west virginians would get confused by the change and cause them to demand a refund and ask for the real cookies.

Except I got mine from Ohio.
You’ve got a pretty good point if you substitute “stupid effin’ Buckeyes” for “west virginians”.

they should just let all of us pitch an inning in spring training. this is a joke right now.
I never thought i would be praying that the Pads singed Will Ohman.
