Giants shut down the Padres. Padres shut down the Giants just a little more, win 1-0

PrintBefore the game, I was nervous that we wouldn't be able to get a hit off of Jonathan Sanchez. Call me a bad fan.
So, sure enough, we get one hit off of Jonathan Sanchez, thanks to The Savior, Chase Headley. You combine that one hit with Scott Hairston's immense hatred of the Giants to turn it into a run and that's all you really need to win a game.
Isn't it weird to be in first place this late into the season? I bet this means they're keeping Adrian.
GO PADRES!!!

we have to make it so we’re all alone in first.

I'm gonna get you Padres...and your little dog too

So is the rate at which Judy is walking batters.

Just as long as he's telling himself
“There’s no place like home plate, there’s no place like home plate” he should be able to throw some strikes finally.
"Scott Hairston's immense hatred"
Sounds like an awesome band name.

DUDE
I am so upset that I didn’t make roll call.

No free pass for you;

"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
You gotta send in a mobile comment
or check in before the game. Then you’ll be on the roll call and count as a fan. Otherwise, you’re no good to us. ;-)

Read the by-laws
Flirting with Axion on an OT results in immediate exclusion from the roll call.
Any mention of “Butt Secs”, in the context of flirting with Ax, is an immediate two-game suspension.

I would like to respond in the form of a section of dialouge written by myself, from my self titled show "Jordan: The Musical"
Jordan: But officers, I didn’t know the speed limit was 45 mph! That’s why I was going 176!
Officer Nasty: I don’t care! We’re giving you a ticket for a bajillion million dollars!
Jordan: Noooooo!
Officer Awesome (Officer Nasty’s conjoined twin): JK! We understand! Go ahead and keep on truckin’ little lady.
Officer Nasty: grumblegrumblegrumble
Jordan: AW! Thanks Officer Awesome!

This game was mind-bottling.
The won-hitter, the three steals by Savior… I mean, wow.

You know, when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle?
"I post like canned meat."
I said this at the bottom of the OT, but I'll say it again here.
The best moment of the night was Velez’s at bat in the 8th. When he gets down 2 strikes, you know his at bat last night was going through his head, the one where he swung at everything and struck out with the tying run on 3rd. So he’s thinking, "This time, I’ll take a pitch, get to 3-2, and they’ll HAVE to throw me a fastball, right?" So he just stands there and watches strike 3 go right down the dick.
Absolutely beautiful.

So I might've picked it against Cain....
But the box score says I know the Giants.
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
I hate the national media
I’ve had ESPN and MLB Network on the tv all of last night and this morning in the background and the only mention of the Padres has been Ecksteins catch. No highlights, no mention of a five game winning streak and how we’re in first place after all those “analyst” predicted us to finish last.
Meanwhile, if I had a dollar for every time I heard Darnell McDonald and Jason Heywards name, I would be able to pay someone to type my thoughts on Gaslamp Ball.
Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts

MLB
talked about the Padres yesterday…just not much on Quick Pitch.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Yea
that’s what’s been on, Quick Pitch.
I just feel like we should get some sort of love. I mean, not the last highlights shown.
They did show Heat close the game down on MLB Tonight though, that was nice.

Don't bother looking for Padres love on ESPN.
They’re not really in the business of being an objective source of sports news any more than FOX News or MSNBC are in the business of being objective sources of political news. They make their money pandering to large market teams. Nothing to get upset about… that’s just what they do.
MLB Network is much more “fair and balanced” when it comes to covering the league.

now's the time to start a campaign
to get Deadly Headley voted to the all-star game.
I’m loving these Pads. Despite the 1-hit last night, they executed perfectly in the clutch. It seems like Adams & Bell enjoy skating on thin ice.
I’m really liking our chances tonight against Wellemeyer. We need to come out hitting early!
All Star game
That’s a really uphill battle vs David Wright, Ryan Zimmerman, Chipper Jones and Pablo Sandoval. Two nice weeks in April are great, but compared to those guys Savior is no All Star.
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
I love that nickname.

so i haven't seen this mentioned anywhere ..
but Gwynn hasn’t started any of the games during this winning streak ..
COINCIDENCE?
552
I noticed
He hadn’t been hitting and it’s only fair with Hairston the Giant killer getting some time to shine.
He's back to being Chris' nephew
