Around SBN: The Amateur Mathematics Of Linsanity

Return of the Best. Season. Evar.

I'll be honest with you. When we dipped below .500, I didn't think we were ever going to return. We moved so far and fast below .500, my head spun. Now that we've come right back up again so quickly, I'm worried that the bends are going to hit me. My ears are popping. Somebody get me a pressurized cabin, a paper bag and some Visine.

And to top it off, we didn't even get to see it in San Diego. TV blackout. I picture Morgigno laughing to himself. Watching the game in his office with Chyron Bob.

I was painting the bathroom walls in the house we're moving into in a week and the radio was turned up. Nothing like applying caulk while listening to the smoove sounds of T-JAM (Ted, Jerry, Andy Masur). When we fell behind, I distinctly remember mentioning to both my father-in-law and my dad about how terrible the Padres are on the road while being so awesome at home. (Incidentally, both were helping at the house. I'm not involved in some ridiculous incestual relationship.)

By the time the Padres started hitting, I was deciding whether I wanted to go over my caulk job with a brush or a roller, and I thought to myself, ten wins in a row would be impressive. And sure enough, they did it. 

I'm not even quite sure how it happened. It sounded like Hundley was terrible behind the plate. It sounded like we got hosed on a few calls. It sounded like Chad couldn't keep it together. And then all of a sudden there were boobirds and it sounded like T-Jam was gonna lose their collective sh_t as the Padres just blew them away with a Susan Boyle type performance.

No joke, this is the seventh inning on:

Oh here we go. This is gonna suck. Who do these guys think they are? Seriously...

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN MEN WERE KIND....

Woah. Wait, what?

THEIR  VOICES SOFT, THEIR WORDS INVITING...

Is this happening? OMG.

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN LOVE WAS BLIND

Seriously, WTF.

THE WORLD A SONG, THE SONG EXCITING...

I can't believe what I just saw. This is why I watch baseball. A million times, YES!

I know haven't said it in a while, but at this point, I'm almost convinced of it.

Best. Season. Evar.

Thanks for the piccys...

Even though mlb.tv had video, the d-bag announcers were so annoying I just tuned in the radio instead. Now I know what everyone was talking about on the OT about Gaudin and his hat!

That was some serious fun night

Are you still doing your game of the season rankings? Cos that has gotta be right up there!

Right, I’m not sure if this link will work, but I am trying to design a EuroPads T-shirt for sixpak, me and anyone else who wants to look really, really cool…

My heiny hurts

from kicking myself for turning the game off in the 6th. I was thinking we’ll start a new win streak tomorrow, especially since the D-bags reek this year. If only I could travel back in time and listen to the rest of that game… My wife would be pissed that I wasted my time-travel capabilities on a baseball game.

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

I don't know about that...

I’ve had both bad pizza & bad baseball before……neither were good for my stomach.

But you can say that about 90 per cent of teams

This lot have some character and, whatever you think about 2-1 games, they keep us on the edge of our seats. So long as they play hard and keep us interested, well you can’t ask for much more than that… especially with the second lowest payroll in the league

Was thinking the same thing

I thinks it’s funny he said “caulk” though.

by sqrunt on May 26, 2009 11:27 AM PDT up reply actions  

I know seriously

wtf. I lined it up, smoothed it out and rubbed it in.

by Dex on May 26, 2009 11:54 AM PDT up reply actions  

The relationship

It’s not ridiculous, it’s perfectly legitimate incest, which is also known as wincest. Keep the streak alive!

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

the OT

yesterday was a lot of fun. I think. I was drunk.

by soulSD on May 26, 2009 2:02 PM PDT reply actions  

I feel like

to truly appreciate GLB, I must be drunk during at least one OT. I’m going to try it some time.

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

by LJbumfool on May 26, 2009 4:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

In honor of this...

I’m going to be sober during at least one OT.

by Drama on May 26, 2009 5:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

I've tried it before

and trust me, that’s not a road you want to go down.
