I had a dream last night that I had to catch rattlesnakes with my bare hands and milk them of their venom. There was one particular snake that was difficult to wrangle and venom went everywhere. It was exhilarating. Did I have this dream because I had been watching the game before I went to bed and had just watched the Padres milk the D-Backs?
If so what will I dream about tonight?
FollowthePadres has the line up as usual:

Volume is so low on the internet broadcast . . .
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
I know
it is very annoying. You can barely hear the broadcast while typing

I don't know if a great outing by Latos will secure him a spot
But, a bad outing may hurt his cause. I got him for $2 in my fantasy baseball auction, so I’m rooting for him to be in the rotation (plus it gives the Padres the best chance to win games).
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Also, jbox
Let’s refrain from “milking” jokes from now on. Gross.

listening on XM
Reds broadcasters are mystified that the Padres are playing so well in ST, especially given their minimal payroll.
I gotta say, I’m pretty damn excited about the season. I’m just pissed that I’m still in Padres media limbo and can only get them on MLB.tv

So, basically the Reds announcers are filling time
With meaningless banter. Gotchya.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
I wouldnt characterize it that way
They seem legitimately impressed/stunned by this team. But maybe I’m only hearing what I want to.

I'm sure they are
But they are impressed with Spring Training results, which makes their comments meaningless.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Or at least makes them easily impressed/stunned.

What's going on with Josh Barfield?
did he get an invite to spring?
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
On February 19, 2010, Barfield signed a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres with an invite to spring training.
He has apparently played in one game this spring with the Padres, going 0-2.
Corey Brock tweeted
in response to us asking about him that he was not given an invite to Spring Training, and is merely roster fodder for AAA.

I wouldn't worry about it
After spring training, you won’t hear his name again unless you listen to either San Antonio or Portland games.
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
Well
When you’re not on the 40 man roster, you don’t have a good shot at the majors. They basically signed him because they had no depth at 2B. They weren’t sure what Antonelli’s status would be and they traded their AA 2B (Sogard). The needed someone to take some of those at bats and keep there from being a hole in the infield.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

They also may work him into a utility guy
Maybe play him in the OF some.

I see what you mean
First thing is….4 button jacket is a little out dated for that shirt.

I kind of expected him to pitch more in ST games
I assume he’s going to Portland and I think most of the Portland pitchers have taken a few innings this spring.
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
Me too.
I bet he’ll get a shot at some point in the major league bullpen, possibly in September, provided he doesn’t blow up in AAA.

by Zach (maestro876) on Mar 30, 2010 2:43 PM PDT up reply actions
He's not on the 40 man
So by saying he’ll play in September you’re basically counting on injuries and trades to get him there.
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 that isn't terribly unlikely.
I’m not hoping it will happen, just saying there’s probably a decent shot of it.

i really hope we can keep this whole "offense" thing going this year
im not really sure what it is, or what it would be to root for, but it sure seems appealing this spring

Not likely....
The cactus is a hitters league, with the ballparks play small, (much like chase field). So at least at home its not going be this way for the Padres. Though they haven’t relied on the long ball.
That was a pretty nice inning from Evan
for his first time against major leaguers.

Just got to a computer.
Was listening to the game in the car. Turned it on RIGHT before he hit that homer. Let’s just say… it was a good thing I wasn’t driving.

Wonko, I think you may be right about trading Savior.
If he has a good year, then they should be able to move him for something pretty good, and we have some nice 3B prospects coming up in the system.

Not a bad end to the game by Gregerson there

Yeah, I think we're 14-1-2 in the last 17 games.
