Padres beat the Cubs 6-3, Kyle Blanks with an inside-the-park HR

PrintSeveral Padres had good games tonight. Everth Cabrera had a triple and a single. Adrian Gonzalez got himself another home run. Koumanoff got a few hits. Cesar Carrillo even looked a little bit like a big leaguer when he wasn't looking like something other than a big leaguer.
But the highlight of all highlights was Kyle Blanks' inside-the-park, 2 run, home run.
There I was. Sitting on my couch. Thinking about how gay everybody was acting in the Open Thread. When Kyle Blanks' almost home run bounced off the top of the wall and into center field and I figured, "oh this double is gonna be a triple". And then - joy of joys - excitement could be heard in Neely's voice and before I knew it. all of the not-so-veiled insults that had been expressed on my own blog about me on my birthday about how terrible a blogger I am, all of that was brushed away.
Kyle Blanks had hit an inside-the-park home run.
This, no joke, is what came to mind as I watched Blanks come around the bases. I place it here now so you can relive what happened in my head:
P.S. How can something that big move that fast? Kyle Blanks is like Galactus.

GLB was fun
When dex used to play Wii with me. Also, Vlogs were fun. Like the time he reviewed that baseball board game.

Just thought I'd mention
Blanks’s inside the park homer failed to make ESPN’s top ten plays.
Greg Maddux for manager.

Cesar Carrillo
Even though he got the win, I feel like our defense sorta carried him. I’m not convinced he belongs in the big leagues YET. Needs to work on his command.
He doesn't.
But they seem intent on throwing him out there this year. So good luck to him. Especially next Sunday vs. St. Louis…

I know Professor X told you to never reveal your powers, Dex
But I know you telepathically communicated with Juggernaut, I mean Blanks, because you grew weary of the OT.
Didn’t you, “Dex”
"And now for something completely different"
I'm never gonna be a fan of Carrillo's until he learns how to wear his hat correctly.
He looks like an ass.
Drama is an a-hole.

Cubs fans are funny.
“Why do we have to go to San Diego twice this year???”
“Their ballpark is too big, it hurts our hitters!!”
“They suck! Why aren’t we beating them???”

Cool
‘tec and I can get to work on the dramatic voiceover for the trailer of this sequel to the smash summer hit, "Last Night’s OT."

Y'ALL BETTER MODERATE YO'SELVES
"Get on board early," Black said, alluding to, what he feels, is a crop of up-and-coming players.
