Padres links 3/4

  • Padres dropped food prices.  I'm wondering how this affects the prices at other food establishments in Petco.  Will Randy Jones BBQ, Rubios, etc. drop their prices as well or will they lose business to regular concessions?  Can somebody from the Padres comment or email me with that info.  Maybe it was mentioned at the press conference yesterday but wasn't reported.
  • Corey Brock was interviewed (MP3) by Coach Kentera on XX Sports Radio. Brock makes observations about pitchers and position players.  Interesting perspectives about what is going on in camp.
  • The Blue Workhorse asked us to finish one of these sentences "The Padres (WILL or WILL NOT) win the World Series this year because..."  We're passing that assignment on to you.  Make it very thoughtful but also hilariously funny with a touch brashness and go!  Answer with the most rec's gets sent over there.
  • Chris Young is waiting for his arm to die.  "It usually hits me around the third start or the third week of camp," Young said. "And there is always a little panic."
  • Vasgersian will be calling the WBC games.  Hopefully he'll keep the profanity to a minimum.
  • Cavnar is using the off day to visit the new Dodger Spring Training facility.  Footage will be on the post game show tonight.
  • Peavy was embarrassed by how Team USA played in the last WBC.  “This time around, instead of going big name after big name after big name, it seems we've got some grittier, get-after-it type of players.”

speaking of bad padres

did anyone see the highlights on sportscenter a couple days ago of Tub-anulty making a sliding catch?

all i could think about what the photoshopped image of him diving for the cheeseburger that floated around here last year…

i’m really going to need new people to relentlessly make fun of now the Glendon Rusch, Paul McAnulty, and Michael Barrett have left us.

The team's GM said he wouldn't ask for a refund

as nothing of value was lost.

The Padres will wn the World Series this year

because NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear…fear and surprise…. Our two weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency…. Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to Pitching. Our four…no… Amongst our weapons…. Amongst our weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise, oh bugger it. The padres will not win the World Series this year because they are almost, but not quite, completely unlike the Spanish Inquisition.

"2009 Padres.....Yeah, we're still here.

The Padres will win the World Series because

when Heath Bell runs, every one runs.
when Heath Bell walks, everyone walks.
He’s like the Big Man on Campus.

The Padres will win the World Series because

of the amazingly, absurdly high correlation between David Eckstein and playoff success.

by pjbno4 on Mar 4, 2009 11:56 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

Don't forget Cliff Floyd

and the three teams he lead to the postseason over the last three years…two of them that lost 96 games the previous season.

The Padres will NOT win the World Series this year because

everyone knows you can’t win a World Series without Paul McAnulty.

by Winfield's Ghost on Mar 4, 2009 4:53 PM PST reply actions   1 recs



San Diego Padres’ Paul McAnulty is out at third as Colorado Rockies’ Garrett Atkins applies the tag after McAnulty tried to stretch a double into a triple while leading off the bottom of the 13th inning in a scoreless game against the Colorado Rockies Thursday April 17, 2008 in San Diego.

The Padres will NOT win the World Series this year

or ANY year because of the CURSE OF THE HOFFMANO!

The curse was said to have begun after the Padres sold Trevor Hoffman, sometimes called The Hoffmano, to their dreaded rivals The Seattle Mariners Milwaukee Brewers in the off-season of 2008-2009. The Padres had been one of the most successful professional baseball franchises in San Diego, getting to the World Series twice, once in 1984 and then again in1998, prior to selling Trevor. After the sale, the once-lackluster Brewers would become one of the most successful franchises in North American professional sports.

It is standard curse lore that Padres owner John Jay Moores has used the proceeds from the sale of the venerable Hoffman to finance the production of his own broadway musical.

The Padres will win the WS this year because I am drunk ATM.

The Padres will win the WS because

we’re feeling the peak effects of licking Dock Ellis’ corpse.

Hmm...a financial panther?
