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.

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…

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?

I'd say Mandarin
if we want to really smell what the ROC is cookin’.

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.

would not smile upon your treason. They’re very… Inquisitive, shall we say?

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.

Or he could be ranked #2067 and he would still be the SD #3
we’re picking up what you’re putting down

I opened one
Sorry. I thought JBox was joking when he said he wasn’t going to put one up. Now that I think about it, it wouldn’t have been a very good joke.
