PrintLos Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres, Apr 7, 2009 7:05 PM PDT
I heard from a bird that tonight's victory is guaranteed. That bird's name? Dex.
Don't even think twice about it. It is what it is. Chris Young vs whoever. GUARANTEED VICTORY.
Tony Gwynn says that true fans show up to the ballpark the day after opening day. Borderline fans show up on Gaslamp Ball that day. I like the idea of being "borderline". It implies that I'm crazy, that I livenear a geographic border and that I don't care as much as I probably should.
It's very descriptive.
GO PADRES!!! BE THE BORDER!!!!

feels like i'm going to lose my mind
"i kinda feel like nevin and klesko were some fling we (the padres) had in the past and now realize were a bad idea and are embarrassed about."

Go Pads. Watch out for that Wolf though. He has been around the block a few times.
Scan's keys to the game
might be the most insightful baseball analysis on the air. By watching this I’ve learned that you not only need a strong defense, but a good offense as well.
They must be thinking Left and Right can help him cover.

I've been blogging about the Pad Squad all day today
1 comment. Gaslamp Ballers not very big fans of the squad.
Maybe there's enough of your fixation to spread around.

We don't need Khalil
he never would have caught that fly ball in the 1st. As soon as it was hit he’d stare at the ground, kick some dirt and get all emo instead of running like a wild man afte that ball.

Hey guys
Just wanted to check in and say yo. Been busy lately.
I’m also not in full baseball mode yet. Ducks are clinging to a possible playoff spot, so that’s taking most of my attention (see what taking Khalil off the team does to my attention span?)
CY is the man

There is absolutely
nothing more soul crushing than losing Opening Day when there are that many Dodger fans at our home opener.
Incidentally, I saw an official, MLB sanctioned “Los Doyers” shirt.
I wasn’t sure if I should laugh or vomit.
I think
that umpire is Giles’ girlfriend’s lawyer

I don't mind it
nearly as much as I did last year.
And wow, what a nice call he got on the 1-0 pitch to Kouz.
Is there
a Mets uniform under Kouz’s Padres uniform? They should play “Under Pressure” whenever he comes up to bat.
Manny's helmet came off!

Dear Padres
Please note LA’s actions with men on the bases. They may be the scourge of dignity, but the Dodgers do have an adequate approach in this situation.
Your pal,

P.S. I miss my shortstop. He’s already got 3 RBI.

Awesome game
Bullpen really stepped up and held down the lead, hopefully we have several options for the 6/7/8th now.
After seeing such a solid win, i may be too superstitious to attend another OT thread, oh my, so conflicted!
But so much win!
DUDE!
What a game to miss! Darnit. And of course, MLB.tv doesn’t have the archives up — not for another week, my guess. And what a game thread to miss! Pout
Love ya’ll. You kill me. Hard to explain the giggles to my cubby buddies this morning….
