What if Strasburg was to somehow slip to the Padres at No. 3? I asked Gwynn where Strasburg would fit into the Padres' rotation if he joined the team this summer.

"Three," said Gwynn, who would put Strasburg right behind Jake Peavy and Chris Young.

What if you just didn’t try to get our hopes up, Buster?

Ummm...

Shouldn’t this be tagged: “most obvious statement ever”?

You are quite wrong, Ax

I have no love for the Blue Bird team.

I am heading downtown to cheer on only one team: the San Diego Padres.

I smell victory for tonight…

That smell?

Probably your french captors…

Here, on the American Internet, we communicate through the One True Language. That other stuff goes here.

Pero senyor, antes hablabamos espanyol en San Diego

y algun dia, regresaremos a nuestra tierra y tu tendras que aprender otro idioma.

That being said, French is a pretty silly language.

I still remember the Spanish announcer from Qualcomm

“Bienvenidos al Qualcomm Stadium” something-something “beisbol y los Padres de San Diego”

That being said, spanish is permitted, along with the language of our Chinese overlords… Chinese.

Cantonese or Mandarin?

Monsieur Drama hearts it when I speak Francais

Are you going to deny me a little bit of tête à tête? Don’t hate.

I thought the GLB was all RAINBOWS and unicorns. C’est la vie.

What a surprise. I guess I must Embrace the Hate. Hatin’ on French-speaking Padre fans.

How myopic.

Joe Sheehan of Baseball Prospectus was asked

Where Strasburg would rank among the pitchers in major league baseball and his answer was somewhere between 60 and 80. That would make him a #3 starter on most teams, not just the Padres. Of course, he could probably be the the 120th ranked pitcher in the majors leagues and be the Padres #3 starter, but that really wasn’t the point I was going for.
