Padres win their first game of the season in spectacular fashion. Hats off to Chris Young who really locked up Arizona hitters all night. I admit I didn't think Young would be able to battle back from last year's injury but he kept his 85mph fast ball out of the zone and threw a breaking ball to keep batters off balance. Maybe he is the team Ace after all.
This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade. Watching the end of this game, I realized that if was an opposing fan I'd be frightened of the Padres.
They have the ingredients to make this an exciting season of baseball. Can't wait to see if this team shows up again tomorrow. Hopefully Opening Day was a fluke.
Game MVP needs to go to Everth Cabrera.
- Everth Cabrera with a single, a double, a triple, a rolled ankle and 4 RBI
- Chris Young with 6 innings of one hit ball.
- Adrian Gonzalez homers for the second game in a row
- Will Venable's first hit of the season is a home run to deep right field.
- Three stolen bases for the team

Everth also got a single.
Just a home run short of the cycle.
"I'm a Padre at heart. Always gonna root for the Padres. Twenty-five years [with this organization], how can't you? Next year I'm gonna be rooting like a son-of-a-gun for these guys and for Blackie ... I'm gonna be rooting for the next general manager here, rooting for the city, the fans, everybody. I think a lot of San Diego." -Kevin Towers
This season in order to win the Nl West the Padres are gonna have to become...

Buddy who is your #1 starter?
CY is too classy to say anything but giving Garland opening day after he, in his own words, did nothing to impress during the spring. Bush League – and I’m talking Matt with his fakey.
The Sacramento Kings - our guys have big mouthpieces.

I would rather have CY for the home Opener and miss Colorado in CO and Dan Haren.
Right move by Buddy.

I love it when people say stuff like...
…a home run to deep right field.
…because I’ve never actually witnessed a home run to shallow right field.
I was dating this girl from Canada... after about a month I found out she didn't know what sport the Padres played, she thought "padre" was spelled p-o-d-r-a-y and she thought it was some kind of a fish. Dealbreaker.
I've witnessed plenty to shallow left field
at Fenway and at whatever the hell they call it now in Houston

padres win, somebody was WRONG
Ax probably had some cool pics, Jodes got excited about ECab, im sure several “red somethings” were standing by…
and probably several really funny things that we will never understand, but laugh anyways so as not to be the weird kids that didnt laugh.

Can you imagine if the move to 3rd for Headley..
was all it was gonna take to get him rolling like he has so far this yr. Crazy to think a blue chip 3rd basemen and #1 prospect couldnt get his natural position. This could be the best part of that trade w/ Kouz

Let's hear it for
our second cleanup hitter. If Cabrera’s gonna keep up those extra base hits, then Buddy should leave him hitting eighth. More RBI chances there :-)
In all seriousness, he ought to be first or second, with Eckstein eighth.
by ridethelightning on Apr 7, 2010 5:54 AM PDT reply actions
totally agree
I think Eckstein may be out of the lineup by the end of the season. He’s lost his consistency.
It's consistently important to be consistent. Otherwise you can't consistently consistent consistent.

Ok so I just watched the highlights on mlb.com
and Dick Enberg has no idea who is on the field at any given time. Every time something happens he has to hesitate and check with Grant or his paper or whatever to see which names he should call.

Its like listening to someones granpa call a game

thats why i love the Masters!!
best. hangover. tv. EVER!!!
think about it, they pipe in the sounds of birds and babbling brooks, there is a gentle breeze, and the announcers are whispering the entire time.
Saturday and Sunday are National Hangover Days for me. i can’t wait!!

efren cabrera
he said that like five times. made me laugh. i love dick enberg. as one of my friends said yesterday, he just sounds like “baseball.”
"i kinda feel like nevin and klesko were some fling we (the padres) had in the past and now realize were a bad idea and are embarrassed about."
i don't know ..
maybe i am just spoiled by Matty V, but Enberg seems like he is struggling up there …
552
oh i've missed him everday since he left
but i prefer enberg over neely (no offense to him… don’t know if he ever reads glb). i like the sound of his voice, sounds like a grandpa. plus i like that he gets everyone’s names wrong. it’s entertaining =P
"i kinda feel like nevin and klesko were some fling we (the padres) had in the past and now realize were a bad idea and are embarrassed about."
make no bones about it ..
he is an upgrade over neely.
Last night was the first game i got to watch in total, so the returns are early .. lots of baseball left.
552
I saw Neely on the Post game show last night
For some reason I feel bad for him, he looked sad.
I just want to get paid to draw naked girls, is that so much to ask?
Is that a new feature of the game wrap ups?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
