Padres rally to beat the Rockies in the bottom of the 9th, 3-2

PrintWell that was a good game. Take the lead, fall behind, rally, win. That's how they plot Hollywood movies right there.
Some notes:
- Chase Headley is more clutch than Kevin Kouzmanoff.
- From the looks of the postgame interview, Chase is working on his May beard same as us.
- Kyle Blanks had an opportunity to score on a wild pitch with the pitcher covering home plate. I know that baseball is played nicer and friendlier these days, but it shouldn't have taken much to knock the ball out of the pitcher's hands. One well placed shoulder.
- Will Venable hit a triple. I will tell you right now, if he gets regular starts this season, he will be the first Padres cycle.
Tomorrow: Rubber Game Match!
Great win, boys! Let's take the set tomorrow!

Poor Blankkkks, just can't catch a break.
I just want to get paid to draw naked girls, is that so much to ask?
but maybe he could throw?
like a knee or an elbow?

yeah.
He always hit well at every level he played at. To see him struggle like he has thus far sure makes me feel for him. He just cannot hold up on that low pitch.

Yeah, it sucks seeing him go through all this.

This team is so beyond last years. The Savior is not only “more clutch” but he has more scruples as well.

But those early baserunning blunders shattered some of my confidence.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Metallica was awesome, but what about these guys?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q91_kcx3no
man, they should play this song after a padres victory!!! mybe it would be too weird, eh? yeah. maybe thats not a good idea.
"There are two great tragedies in life: One is not getting what one wants; the other is getting it."
i still stick with kickstart my heart by the crue
"I suggest more bike" ~KSK
www.throughbucknerslegs.com
Not a bad choice at all
Do the Padres still use it for their rally music going into the bottom of the 9th?
no
they’ve been using Rammstein.
its really scary
"I suggest more bike" ~KSK
www.throughbucknerslegs.com
I don't even know if they use the rally bell thing anymore
The only game I went to where it would have been appropriate though is the first Headley walf off and it was not used. I think they had the Rammstein thing. I may have even commented on it in the OT.
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
yeah thats when i heard the rammstein thing too
i was frightened.

my song if I hit a homerun!!!
"There are two great tragedies in life: One is not getting what one wants; the other is getting it."
not a bad song either
“Four Horsemen”, “Seek and Destroy” or “Creeping Death”
Are also excellent walk-up/intro songs

I wonder if anyone ever thought of using this one for an at-bat intro?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw_4TgIOiKw
"There are two great tragedies in life: One is not getting what one wants; the other is getting it."
I'm pretty sure someone has
I was always a fan of Nevin’s walk-up song, Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth
yeah, thats a classic song.
sometimes I wonder how he got into Cal.
"There are two great tragedies in life: One is not getting what one wants; the other is getting it."
Nevin went to Cal State Fullerton.
Most people associate Cal with Berkeley.
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
Haha, my cousin just asked me yesterday what my walk-up song would be.
I thought about it and had to go with Through These Eyes by Social D. It’s not my favorite song but it seems to fit.

Mine would be
“Prison Sex” by Tool after the string scraping intro part (or maybe just the end of it).
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
Mine would be
Get It On- Turbonegro
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH9WY3YtV4g
But just about any Turbonegro song would work.
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
The only song they should play after a Padres victory
is this.
"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

My goddaughter's big sister
is constantly singing that song. I wasn’t a fan of it but have to admit it’s pretty precious hearing a four year old sing it… or singing anything just about anything short of GG Allin.

Are you referring to the Belgian band?
For those interested they started touring again, last summer they played at a festival in my hometown. Also the lead singer of the band is called “Polle Pap” over here.

Yes, I just Heath Belled the game thread and made the roll call!
I just want to get paid to draw naked girls, is that so much to ask?
Are you claiming the win for yourself?
Because we were losing when I was awake, and won after I went to sleep.
Clearly my sleep won the game.

Hmmm
I guess so. Looking at last year, we pulled out two 10 innings wins at Petco last year and won a close, low scoring 9 inning one with a 7th inning rally.

And usually when sinkerballers numbers start to suck they are also leaving the ball up. Sinkers aren’t so tough when you can get under them.

His 3 worst starts have all been on the road. His last start was his highest walk total of the year (against the Giants who are 25th in the league in BB%, so not exactly a patient crew).
