PrintSan Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jul 8, 2009 12:40 PM PDT
I really think we're due to start another really lengthy winning streak. Any day now. Any day now.
That, or we're due to get swept by a team that really doesn't look that much better than us, yet they totally are.
In other news Everth Cabrera is like the best thing ever. In other other news, there's somebody catching for us named Jose Lobaton.
GO PADRES!

i think
everth is becoming more popular than tony jr.. also headley who everybody is giving up on is hitting .322/.386/.462 on the road. (and hitting .149 at home)
I sure as hell am not giving up on Headley.
He’s got the talent, he just needs time. I’d expect him to have a break-out season next year.

I feel optimistic today
A-Go hits 2 bombs, and Blanks gets his first pinch hitting for Gaudin in the 9th
I can't wait until Lance Zawadski is at 2B and Logan Forsythe is playing 3b and Ecab at SS next season

Hahaha.
It’s just that there doesn’t seem to be anywhere for Logan.
3B for Headley (assuming he comes around), SS for Cabrera, 2B for Zawadzki (assuming he keeps this up)…where do you put him?
by Zach (maestro876) on Jul 8, 2009 12:39 PM PDT up reply actions
Why not keep Chase in LF?
Might as well get as many good bats in the lineup as we can. I don’t see a future for Blanks on the Padres.
Fire Bud Black!
by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Jul 8, 2009 12:41 PM PDT up reply actions
I agree with you about Blanks.
I think his best function will be as a trading chip.
As for Chase in left, I hate seeing non-outfielders play the outfield. I also think he would probably hit better at 3B.

I’m ambivalent about CY and Jake right now.
by Zach (maestro876) on Jul 8, 2009 12:38 PM PDT up reply actions
Still really like Chase's swing. I'm getting over Venable really fast. Blanks isn't impressing me.
I still like Hundley. Peavy and CY are in the dog house. Who can hate on Heath?

I have always felt
that Young was just a tad bit overrated.
And he can never stay healthy.
Does that include players on the DL?
Or only the active roster?

I'd take him in a 2nd over my 1st baseman
When he doesn’t K he’s very productive. You guys had a guy like that named Branyan get away. I expect he’d be a better option then your current 3rd/LF/RF. Who cares how you make an out, unless your in love with the productive out?

say “masur and coleman blew the no hitter”
Ted knows not to do that.
Of course, it doesn’t stop him from doing the “this guy hasn’t had a hit in forever” thing. But at least he knows not to talk about the no-no ‘till it’s done.

apparently they were chatting about how
Gaudin threw a perfect game or something in the minors. and this reminded them of that. And during this convo he gave up the hit

Hello, I do not have tickets to the Nationals, but I do have a video tape of my 7-year-old’s little league team game last week. He plays for the Arby’s Allstars, and they beat the Smith Hardware Little Leaguers. I am sure it will be way more entertaining than watching the Nationals get their ass whooped for the 49th time this season.
