We should send our 'scrip and alcohol bills to the Moores.
Send half to John and the other half to Becky.
so you guys know kouz is from colorado??
when i was living in PB last season one of our friends was kouz’s little bro’s GF before she moved out here. So when the rockies were in town, kouz brought his little bro out and he took her and 2 other friends to the game. After the game they went and hung out with Kouz at his gaslamp condo…..they talked for a while before kouz dissapeared to the balcony to light up…..

Is the Aztec job a part time gig for Gwynn ? ....
I have been around coaching at the D1 level (let alone High School) and it is a draining and all consuming job with seemingly little time to be calling TV color for games well into the night. I know that it is sacreligious or pure blasphemy to question Gwynn in this town but it makes me wonder…

I haven’t even checked….are the AZTEC’s under Gwynn finally having a decent to good season in 2009 ? He really hasn’t had much success in what was a storied program but how are you going to fire Gwynn in San Diego ?
They're 31-17 with 7 games to go and Strasburg, who is 10-0, is pitching on Friday
Don’t know how that relates to the rest of the conference/division.

Glenallen Hill's Story that they just talked about on Ch 4
For those of you not on the Ch 4 feed, the trivia question was “Glenallen Hill’s fear of ______ once landed him on the disabled list?”
The answer was spiders. Apparently he had a bad dream that woke him up and he bounced off a few walls in his apartment, leading to some unspecified injury that landed him on the DL.
Reminds me of the YouTube video, that if you haven’t seen, is hilarious….. Go to YouTube and search for Running Dog.

You seriously want Silva back or LeBlanc? Silva gets injured swinging a bat and
was not impressive. CSB can be really good when’s he on (last year on July 4th had a no hitter in the 7th and was brilliant), but he tends to struggle with runners on base sometimes, consistency is not always there. But I actually like CSB when he’s on.

I am in favor
of the expensive decision to sit Giles and start both Gerut and Hairston. Giles can be our bench player.

I’m as happy moving Venerable up into that RF spot and putting Gerut/Hairston back into rotation

Moreno doesn't have my confidence
I mean even under the best of circumstances he just gets lucky more then he pitches well.
Seriously, I'm not kidding
put Moreno back in AAA or release him, I don’t care. Get him off the Padres or at the minimum stop using him
"But he had a good Spring Training."

I wasn't disagreeing with you, but Cla is making people nervous, too, and before the GS
they were hitting .394 off of him, he’s not the same this year so far

Are we just in a slump that we'll eventually come out of
or is this going to be what it’s like until the end of the season?
It's baseball
Every team is 60-60. It’s the other 42 games that matter. But at this rate…
Hmm...a financial panther?
by friarinchicago on May 4, 2009 9:38 PM PDT up reply actions
I think we will come out of it, in the beginning of the season, we had good pitching and hitting together
now when we get good pitching, we don’t hit, or when we are hitting, we don’t get good pitching, we need
them together again at once and for guys to get out of their slumps.
by kdukat on May 4, 2009 9:38 PM PDT up reply actions
Hope so.
Also hope—PRAY—the Dodgers hit a similar skid at some point in the season. How great would it be for Manny to have an Andruw Jones-esque slump…even for just a few weeks? Would love to see how fast the fans turn on him.
If you look at who the Dodgers have played so far, it's been all NL West except for
the one series against Houston (which they lost) so it’s really not been harder teams. They have a series in NY and Philly and FL coming up, and I don’t their rotation is all that great, they just have gotten wins from all the hitting.
by kdukat on May 4, 2009 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions
Good point.
although you must admit their lineup is formidable.
(but they’re pitching isn’t as good as it has seemed lately, I think.)
Didn't they hold us to 4 runs that whole series?

Yeah, and I don't appreciate for some reason you keep singling out things I say

Well, he doesn't have very much to work with. There isn't anyone pitching well consistently
except Bell. That’s what Scan keeps saying every night on the postgame. I can’t wait for Mike Adams to come back and be healthy, he was great last year.
