Everyone was right about the Padres. They suck again.

We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life - C3PO

It was a good run, while it lasted Padre fans.  It's all over now.  Those days of heroic comebacks and powerful offense have taken a back seat to 2008 era Padres baseball.

Remember all that confidence?  The bravado?  The hard slaps on the back?  Those days are over.

10 boring innings of scoreless baseball end with a Molina double that brings in the win for the Giants.

You know what really bites?  Now we don't have another game until Friday at 7:05pm.  That's a long way away dudes.  Powerful long.  It's just not right.

Love is not a game

and ’tec’s heart is not a toy.

That's right!

I may be too traumatized to go to another Padre game now…

I want to thank the good Lord for making me a Philip Rivers fan.

Just Kidding

Pad Sqad Loxie is a very nice and beautiful young woman. I just wanted the headlines too! I should be ashamed.

'tec has a heart?

I always thought of him as sort of a Tin Man…

Wouldn't that be

closer to the Wicked Witch and her Flying Monkeys?

I never realized

that Zito was such a good pitcher.

Really?

That’s it? We’re done? Heath Bell would be disappointed in you, jbox.

DODGERS, RED SOX, YANKEES, BRONCOS, PATRIOTS and RAIDERS all suck. Especially the Dodgers.

This is right around when

the 21 inning game happened last year.
I thought today was going to be a repeat.

by strummer on Apr 22, 2009 5:05 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

We aren't hitting

and when we are we can’t drive anyone in

and then frankly moreno sucks, he needs to just be released

by TheAxManCometh on Apr 22, 2009 5:44 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

boring game?

Hardly. Great pitching on both sides. Lots of tense moments.

What game were you watching?

by JohnnyW on Apr 22, 2009 6:08 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

It's over?

Aww man, Rand McNally and the Thomas Brothers are gonna be so pissed.

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

BTW

What is the magic rec number for greenage? It took far too long for this to get colorful….

Viva la hysteria!

3

Other SBNation sites have it at 1, which I think is just cheap.
