APPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
I know we have plenty of Gaslamp Ball mothers so hopefully your children are spoiling you with something that will bring you joy and reward for all of the hard work you've done.
If that's the case, I imagine you'll be staying very far away from this Open Thread and the Padres game today.
Tomorrow then... When you return to the often thankless task of being a mother on days other than Mother's Day, you will find this Open Thread and you will see our warm wishes and you will see the comments that your husbands and children have left in your regard and you will wonder why they were leaving comments on some stupid Open Thread as opposed to taking you out to breakfast or lunch or dinner or cleaning the toilet or something.
In terms of the game... I heard the Houston Astros all, from man to man except for Geoff Blum, don't think very highly of their mothers and baby mamas. On the other hand, the Padres ("fathers" in Spanish), are here solely to defend the honor of Madres ("mothers" in Spanish).
THIS IS OUR FIGHT TO WIN!!!
GO PADRES!!!

Día de Madres Feliz!
Jour de Mères Heureux!
To ma, mom, mommy, mama, mamma, mammy, momma, mum, mummy, mam, mater,mama, mammie, baby mama, baby mamas mama, female parent, yo mama,
the woman who gave birth to you, the person who might have raised you.
1. a woman who has given birth to a child (also used as a term of address to your mother);
2. a term of address for an elderly woman;
3. a term of address for a mother superior.
Especially to mine, a wonderful and loving woman. She’s the best.
GO PADRES! WIN ONE FOR ALL THE MADRES!!!

BTW
In the photo that is topping the last OT thread, it looks like Correia is about ready to launch his pre-game buffet. Sad.

Bud-bot
finally sat Giles. Nothing but Gey, Hair, and Head in the outfield today.

Poor fathers day
My 7 months old baby greeted me with Bronchitis, so I’m staying with her at home for at least a couple of days. But now she’s going to sleep (night time in Israel) and I’m ready to follow our glorious victory or more likely usual loss
I looked
at all 30 guys who were batting lead-off yesterday. Giles had the worst batting average and second worst OBP. I guess Buddy finally got the memo.
Can we put Giles in there
and catapult his ass outta town?

Well its a good thing
we’ll all be with our mothers today. This ballgame is over 15 minutes after it began.
three runs might as well be thirty
for this offense … thats a whole week’s worth of runs just in the first inning
no kidding
Geer’s been solid. Dont know whats up today.
Im not watching the game right now.
If I turn it on I will never get outta here.

Im heading to pick up Mom, go to my sister's

this was corey brocks lineup at 9am
Gerut 9, Eckstein 4, Hairston 8, AGone 3, Headley 7, Kouz 5, Hundley 2, Burke 6, Geer 1.

Yeah, but then a hour before he posted this
Small change in the lineup: AGone is now hitting third, followed by Headley and then Hairston. It originally was Hairston, AGone, Headley.

Was this a calculated change
or just a rash attempt to foil the Astros?

I don't know, he did say, and it was actually a half hour before that it changed. I am wondering
if it was breaking up lefties/righties?

Bad news on Baek, he got reinjured yesterday in Portland, don't know the extent of it yet
by kdukat on May 10, 2009 11:37 AM PDT reply actions
It's bad news
because now we’re waiting for Prior?
I know that
but I don’t think he’s an improvement over the current players
I think he's better than Correia normally. Last year he had some gems, on July 4th he had a no
hitter against the Dbacks in the 7th. I think he is better than Correia, although Correia did pitche well yesterday.

And Geer looks terrible today, so I was hoping to see what CSB could bring since we didn't have
a lot of experience with him last year. Hopefully Hill gets better soon. I was not a fan of Silva’s from the little I saw.
by kdukat on May 10, 2009 11:47 AM PDT up reply actions
Had a bad game clearly
He’s been fairly solid outside of today
by TheAxManCometh on May 10, 2009 1:01 PM PDT up reply actions
I think I won't watch
If we lose today, we’re playing .200 ball for the last twenty games.
Kind of remids me of this.
The reason this team is so frustrating
is because they never put both phases of the game together at once.
Either the pitching is on and the hitting is off, or the hitting is on and the pitching is off.
by Zach (maestro876) on May 10, 2009 1:17 PM PDT reply actions
Ugh, an ugly fourth inning of bad pitching and defense... if you erased that
we would be tied right now. We hit three home runs! We are in slam range, though as Mud would say.

What happened?
Started watching the game in the bottom of the fifth
by sixpakfrombelgium on May 10, 2009 1:28 PM PDT up reply actions
Geer pitched pretty bad and there are four unearned runs because of two errors by Burke
But the fourth was pretty bad. It was 5-2 and became 9 to 2, but we have been trying to claw our way back.
by kdukat on May 10, 2009 1:30 PM PDT up reply actions
Josh had a bad start.
And a few errors.
by Zach (maestro876) on May 10, 2009 1:30 PM PDT up reply actions
Now that's just evil.
We can’t catch a break.
by Zach (maestro876) on May 10, 2009 1:31 PM PDT reply actions
It sure as hell
feels that way. Looks like it’s nigh to impossible for the Padres to get some breaks.
by sixpakfrombelgium on May 10, 2009 1:32 PM PDT up reply actions
Was that a payback for Adrian getting on because matsui made an error on the previous AB?
It does suck. I have to feel like eventually we will get some breaks. Hopefully it’s not too late by then.
by kdukat on May 10, 2009 1:37 PM PDT up reply actions
Hopefully not, I thought we just played well the first two weeks, having good hitting and pitching
together at the same time and didn’t have to get the breaks, but it could be. Now we just keep getting more injuries. Hopefully Eck is okay after getting plunked.
by kdukat on May 10, 2009 1:44 PM PDT up reply actions
Timely hitting
really was the difference. Our pitching wasn’t that great, but somehow we were scoring 6-7 runs a game so it didnt matter.
Happy Mother's Day
Hope you like it with awful baseball on the side.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

This Lopez kid isn't going to be around very long
I think we do need a lefty in the pen, but it clearly is not him
by kdukat on May 10, 2009 1:51 PM PDT reply actions
Well, he's never been my favorite, he always seems to do well in AAA
but it doesn’t translate to when he comes up, but maybe he is better now and can no longer be the
run fairy
by kdukat on May 10, 2009 1:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Think maybe there might be some Beavers on a plane to Chicago tomorrow
and probably passing the plane from Houston taking some of these guys back to Portland

Nice knowing you Lopez
I hope your mother is proud.

Feel sorry for the kid
but professional baseball just isn’t his working out for him. Maybe he should go for a degree at DeVry.
He shouldn't be playing at this level yet
But we dont have much choice. Our bullpen was put together with scotch tape pre season.
That was after
the other scotch tape bullpen fell apart, too. :(

Agree, maybe needs more AAA time. I can't believe I am saying this, but give Thatcher
a chance for a bit.
by kdukat on May 10, 2009 2:00 PM PDT up reply actions
Agreed
And get Burke and Inman up here too

A move that will be official Tuesday: LHP Arturo Lopez optioned back to Triple-A Portland, OF Drew Macias will be recalled for Cubs series.

Priority wise
Let’s get rid of Moreno and Correria first, then Lopez

Well we need Correia right now until Hill gets healthy because I think the news on baek is bad
by kdukat on May 10, 2009 1:59 PM PDT up reply actions
I think Correia would be better out of the pen, but for now we don't have that option
by kdukat on May 10, 2009 2:00 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't know if that will help
He’s been bad on a full time basis, I can’t imagine he’ll be better on a short time basis
by TheAxManCometh on May 10, 2009 2:35 PM PDT up reply actions
Well, give it to Burke.
There’s nothing wrong with his bat, at least.

They DFAed at the end of ST, but I don't know what happened after that, they expected him to
accept a minor league assignment, but I didn’t hear if that happened.
