PrintWe know u r missing #baseball. Starting in Dec we will show 2010 & vintage Padres games. Which games would you want us to air? #Padres
I'm trying to think of my favorite games and suggest them to Channel 4 for when they air repeats in December. The only problem is that they all get jumbled in my brain like the scenes in James Bond movies. I have to look at the 2010 Padres Results on Baseball Reference.
Here's the four I suggested so far:
What are other entertaining games that you'd like to see again?

I was at the August 1 game
Where Josh Johnson started for the Marlins and Ludwick PH in his Padres debut. The Padres came back to win it. That was definitely a favorite.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Two other great ones were the night before Chinese Heritage Day (9/24) and Chinese Heritage Day (9/25) against the Reds
I loved the crowd when Tejada was up with a chance to give us the lead and he came through with a single through the 5.5 hole. The crowd was ridiculously loud before and after the hit.
As I said to Drama after we won on Chinese Heritage Day: “A two could walk through that door and she’d look like a ten after a walkoff.”
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Of course
Chinese Heritage Day was a Fox game, so it really doesn’t apply to Ch. 4’s question since I don’t think they can air it.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

One more. 4/16
It was just against the DBacks, but Eckstein hit a double to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th. And Chase Headley hit a 3 run HR to win it walkoff style.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

September 24th – when Miggy hit the 2-run single to give us the lead over the Reds.
I need new pants.
The wiki has an outline of most of the season (I still need to finish it)
Some of the better games are mentioned in that entry: 2010 San Diego Padres Season
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

So, pretty much just that one.

I know
I kid Eckstein because he sucks we love him.

I remember cracking up when that happened
which makes it much more memorable than Sanchez’s 1-hit loss, although that was very awesome as well.
I've forgotten the day, but the game where Sanchez 1-hit us and we beat him anyway.
That should be aired back-to-back with Mat’s one-hitter (the finest game I’ve ever attended).
Sanchez "1 hitter" was on 4/20
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
And even though you didn't mention it
The game in SF where we beat Sanchez a few days after he made his statement about sweeping us was on 8/13.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Oh! September 11th!
Heath, Yorvit, and Scrappy end the game with a strike-em-out throw-em-out double play!
I also liked the game at Atlanta
where we got to Billy Wagner in the 9th, and then won it in extras with Nick’s pinch hit double.

I know the Cubs series was shit, but what about the 9/29 game with the Chicken's surprise appearance.
I remember watching that game and the Chicken suddenly appeared while Ludwick was up to bat. All of a sudden, RFL ropes a double to put the Padres on the board. A few innings later, Eckstein ropes a double to Pad the lead. Good guys ended up winning. :-)
Awesome game.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
two other good ones:
June 6 – Padres 6, Phillies 5 (F/10)
Adams works out of a jam in the 9th (his second inning), Salad Bar hits the slow single to SS to score in the top of the 10th, TGJr throws out the lead runner at 3rd in the bottom of the 10th
June 2 – Padres 5, Mets 1 (F/11)
Eck hits the game-tying single with two strikes and two outs in the bottom of the 9th off K-Rod, Adrian hits the grand slam to win it in 11
Like a few others, June 2nd
It sucks that they never aired this game. I went to this game ready to see a pitcher’s duel between Clayton and Johan and loved every minute of it. I somehow bought tickets for section 312 before they closed off the whole section. For 11 awesome innings, everyone that tried sitting in my section was kicked out and all they could do was look at me like I was some jerk that bought a whole slice of Petco. Eck’s clutchness and Adrian’s brilliance showed me that this was going to be a nice year.
I was at
the Apr 12th and Sept 24th games. I don’t think i sat during the home opener. 17 runs was the most I’ve seen at any baseball game haha. And the game against the Reds down the stretch was pretty awesome too.
Game 162
If you ask me, Dex isn’t done with his penance yet.

May 11th-13th
with Latos’ 1-hit performance being the highlight, but they should just play the entire series. It doesn’t get much better than sweeping the Giants for the 2nd time of the year…in May in SF.

June 26th
ending Josh Johnson’s consecutive streak of allowing no more than 1 run a game. Pads won 2-1.
May 31
18 runs

It resulted in an L
but I really liked the game against the Dbacks when we were down to our last strike and Adrian hit a bomb to tie it up.
Unfortunately (I think it was Luke) we gave up a HR the next inning to lose the game.
Still awesome on Adrians part and the team as a whole for never giving up.
Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts
Sept. 24
SO fun!
