Open Thread, 7/12: Padres vs Giants

PrintSan Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants, Jul 12, 2009 1:05 PM PDT
I'm not sure if a win today is even possible, but I figure at the very least, we'll have each other, though I'm not sure what that does for us either. Part of me figures, even with our payroll as low as it is, these guys must be pretty decent at baseball. Also, I figure that if they were trying to win, they'd be able to win a game every now and then, which they can't.
Therefore, my only conclusion is that they're not trying at all. They're trying to lose. Since it's our job to support them, I'm actively rooting against them. Actually, that's masochistic. I think what I'll actually do is watch the game until they get a lead and then turn it off and imagine that they won the game. That's a good goal. Get a lead at some point in the game.

Who is watching the Futures game?
The Padres have no future, so it’s understandable I can’t find anybody from the organization on the field.
Well at the moment the Futures game is in rain delay.
My understanding is that they are currently broadcasting last year’s game.
This year, we’ve got Mat Latos and Luis Durango.

Latos and Durango
Also, two of our affiliates already won their first half championships. So I’m not sure what you are talking about.

Here's the gameday.
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2009_07_12_wftmin_uftmin_1&mode=gameday
Durango is playing CF for the World team, and Latos is pitching in the 5th I believe for the US.

Wonko can not blame last nights loss on me
I wasnt there.
SF was a blast irregardless.
I am ambivalent about seeing a no-hitter versus my Padres.
Die FOSFO. Die.

I was there on Saturday
It was fun watching Stauffer deal. Not so much watching our hitters flail.
No worries on the No-hitter. I attended us getting no-hit against A.J. Burnett. Although, IIRC I didn’t even know it was going on. He had 9 BBs and 1 HBP. I think we had the base loaded twice and it was a close game. I thought we were going to win!
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
Last night, one of the ESPN anchors said the Padres lately have been hitting like Little Leaguers
It seemed like a knock on Little Leaguers
Put Venable batting second?
Okeedokee. Hes been looking overmatched.
Wait, everyone has been looking overmatched.

Tim Stauffer looked good last night
No? 7Ks in 7IP only 4 hits and 1 (intentional) walk. That’s good for a 0.71 WHIP and 9K/9

yes, pretty much
We knew better then to sit by Susie during this series.
Because Channel 4 always puts Susie and Co. on TV.
Last time in SF, we did we got on Channel 4. Alot.
So, we sat a section closer to the dugout this time. No TV coverage of us. Heh heh.

"If the Padres lose (again) and no -one is watching, does it count in the standings?" ...anonymous confucious guy
10
the smallest number with two representations of a sum of two primes.

Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
I actually hate math
but facts about 10 are cool. Did you know it also occurs roughly 1/1600 times in spoken language?
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
But only about 1/6500 times in written words
Which is interesting, but most words can’t also be expressed as a number, so that probably explains the disparity.

He redeemed himself.
He kept it tied in the bottom of the 9th, laid down a sac bunt in the top of the 10th to put the go-ahead run in scoring position, then struck out the side in the bottom of the 10th to nail down the win.

Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
Oh
And Olabisi hit a HR. I’m really surprised that he’s playing at a remotely competent level. Stanford gave him like -2 AB in his career there. Glad to see him getting some success, he’s a fun guy to root for. Nigerian Royalty. Learned to play baseball in Saudi Arabia. His major at Stanford was biomechanical engineering and he worked for a venture capitalist. Inspired by Jackie Robinson, so he played baseball instead of other sports:
"I just realized, wow, just because they were black, they weren’t allowed to play. It shocked me, because I could do whatever I wanted, no one had ever stopped me from playing somewhere, walking somewhere, drinking somewhere. So that’s really what hit me. That was my inspiration for playing baseball. I had to do it, it wasn’t like maybe."

Had you told me Kevin Correia would have a better record than Barry Zito at this point in the season...
I guess I would have asked who would have been stupid enough to give Zito this many starts.
