Chicago Cubs at San Diego Padres, May 24, 2009 1:05 PM PDT
JBox and I are going to the game today. Say hi if you see us, but be prepared for us to act real awkward around you. We're like the Gaslamp Bwallflowers.
You probably didn't notice, but the Padres go for a sweep of the homestand today. Before you call me an idiot somewhere else on the Internets, the first sentence of this paragraph is sarcasm. This part you may or may not have actually noticed, but another win gets the Padres back to .500. The last time we were trending towards .500, it was so depressing. This time I feel giddy like I'm in the car and on the way to Disneyland on a Tuesday.
Eckstein will be back in the lineup today and I fully expect him to get drilled twice by opposing pitchers and spiked at least three times by runners sliding into second. If I were him, I'd also expect to get sucker punched by an ump. It's not outside of the realm of possibility that his cup will spontaneously combust while strapped tentatively around his manhood.
Here's a limerick while I wait for JBox to pick me up in his car:
There once was a team called the Padres
They had aspirations so high they were starry
When they started to suck
Black said, "WTF?"
And now they're as hot as tamales
I only put that limerick in there because the formatting of that picture of David Eckstein was weird. Do you like my filler? It's so much better than the people who copy and past the penalty text on FanPosts isn't it? That's because I'm more creative than most.
What are you guys going to eat at the game? I might eat a hot dot. I have a Cubs fan friend who I might try to find at the game and force him to eat crow for razzing me so bad when the Padres sucked.
Are we there yet? Formatting OK? Yes? Good.
Let's go Padres!!!

Have to admit
I’m nervous about CY going today. He seems to alternate good/horrible starts, and is coming off a good one. Plus, this team hit 4 homers off him last time out. I hope my worries are unfounded.

So I had to make a big decision today
Do I buy a new SD hat or do I switch it up this year and go with the Portland Beavers cap … As fate would have it, the store I go to in Beaverton, OR has no Beavers caps in my size and I end up with the Padres home cap.

This bothers me
2-0 count and he’s swinging at a slider? You gotta look for a fastball in that situation … if you don’t get it, so its only a 2-1 count. Kouz hit Lilly’s pitch and got him off the hook. Not a good approach right there.

So...
Over at my in-laws place. My 4-year old daughter got a hold of a small little container of yellow paint. She promptly takes it out to the back deck and starts painting. I walk out and catch her full in the act…the whole “What are you thinking?” speech…blah, blah, blah. I’m all pissed off, I turn around to go into the house to get something to start cleaning up the mess and walk right into an outdoor light attached to the side of the house. My head hit that thing so f**king hard I damn near went down and out. It hurt like a bitch. UGH.
So long story short….if I start talking some crazy shit…you know, I start asking why Bochy is leaving Ashby for in so long…someone please call the proper authorities.

The best part about this win streak ...
To read the UT nega-blogger posts as they continue to write with their venom and hate trying with all their might to convince all that will heed that the Padres still suck and that we should not attend any games.

We need to shove as much of this win streak up our nostrils as we can so we always remember how good it is.

and the Padres have played competitive baseball and after today will have the same winning percentage as the high priced Chicago Cubs

I love
watching the opposing pitchers after giving up a big homer like that. If you can, go back and watch Lilly after Kouz hits the ball. He knows immediately, and you can see the life instantly drain out of him.
When that happens, I can’t help but feel a tad sorry for the guy, but then I’m happy again when I see the score.

Recent Cost cutting moves & dumpster diving
Dumping overpriced Khalil Greene for a live arm in Luke Gregerson looks like another KT gem.
Dumping Scott Linebrink a couple of years back (though Linebrink has had success) may also look pretty darn good when W. Inman pitches well at the MLB level (as soon as this year). If Thatcher can be effective again and/or Garrison can get healthy it’s icing on the cake.
Dumpster dive in landing Mujica looking good for KT as well.
What about KT’s landing of Scott Hairston for virtually nothing 2 years ago ? As well as getting Heath Bell for two fringe players.
