"It’s still stuck with me right now," Latos said. "Hank’s a great guy, and if anybody over there is going to do that against me, I’d rather it be him. But I threw him a couple of sliders he should’ve swung at. After the homer I told him that. He just looked at me and said, ‘I love you, Matty.’ "

Hmmm Talent really?
I am pretty sure I could autotune my voice, wildly cross dress, and dance on tables in NYC as well. S/he got lucky.

Umm you clearly haven't heard ANY of her songs.
Because she actually has an incredible voice. And she absolutely does not autotune.
LISTEN to this, and try to tell me she doesn’t have talent.
I need new pants.
Ok she has talent... but now I think its justed wasted.
Because this is mostly manipulated and sounds and is just as catchy as this. If she was a jazz singer… and didn’t over produce and cover her voice with bullsh_t electronics she would be appealing. But then her demographic isn’t me… its younger people who apparently appreciate her talent less.
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
if by talent you mean
she sounds like Norah Jones or Celine Dion, than you’re right. Nevertheless, that song you posted does suck. If kids these days are into this shit, they should at least listen to Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington and Chet Baker. Now that’s talent.

So.
Anyone know if/when Cunningham will be getting the call?

Well Mr. Brock
did post something on his twitter talking about AC big June so far. So maybe he will get the call sooner rather than later.

He tweeted that before they pulled Cunningham and Carrillo from the game yesterday
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
Just read the game recap
No mention of either Cunningham or Carrillo sustaining injury. So either they are being traded, called up or the Portland manager lost his marbles.
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
Let's say, just for argument's sake, that they were getting traded.
What could Cunningham and Carrillo possibly bring back that would be useful to us?

Blanks we know about.

Decker isn't going to get promoted.

Zach has started a rumor on Twitter
That Cunningham and Carrillo were kidnapped by the Marooners.
DAMN YOU SEATTLE!

We has update.
Stairs to the DL (knee), Cunningham in San Diego. I bet the Mariners hurt Stairs, because of his homer in the last series.
LOUSY MARINERS!!

This also helps explains
Why Buddy “hated” Stairs for a while. I bet this lingered for a bit.
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
Dollars to donuts
It was just a day off for Decker. LE has 4 pretty good OFs and 2 1B. Only 4 of those can play in the field and 1 can DH. Somebody has to sit on any given day (2 if Blanks plays).
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

I figured as much.

But why would they sit Blanks, when he is on rehab?
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
Because he's still not 100%.
That’s why he’s been DHing, rather than playing the field.

Corey Brock isn't employed with the team.
In fact, he isn’t even a Padres fans. His suggestions are about as meaningful as ours.

I understand what you are saying but I'm going to disagree with you a little
When he makes a suggestion he can be influenced by sources inside the organization since he is around them almost daily. While we just sit back and make suggestions with no real insider knowledge

Brock aslo reported
that Poreda got promoted to Portland. So he probably is taking one of Carrillo/Cunningham roster spot.

wow
suspense killing so many in regards to Aaron Cunningham move to Padres. Imagine, if the Pads looked to actually bring in a player that was good.

What do you mean?
Petco would just destroy this “good” players career.

Went to the Beavers game last night.
A rather pedestrian loss to the Sacramento River Cats, 3-2. Carillo did get pulled early. Russell choked in the eighth. Durango made a nice sliding catch. I considered the jalapeno handshake, but went with the nachos instead.
How did Perdomo look?
He pitched two scoreless, but did he seem like Per-oh-no or like a guy developing some feel for the game?
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
He looked good
Comfortable and confident. Brad Chalk seems to be playing well since his promotion. I got to the game late and missed Baxter’s home run.
Going to the game, drinking cherry bombs prior and
eating copious amounts of cupcakes.
You are going downnnn, Marooners.

Gaga was in Jerry Seinfeld’s seats and the Mets apologized to him for letting her use them.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

That's priceless.
I wonder what lengths he’ll have to go to to get the smell out of that seat!

That depends entirely on how often she "needed new pants"
I doubt she was on a Jodes level… but if she was really clad in only bejeweled undergarments… the seat may need to be destroyed.

I suggest trading Kellen Kulbacki
for Andruw Jones.
Kenny Williams would totally go for it.

Ah HA!
Age 33… .216 / .333 / .489 / … with 10 HR… Thats like All Star material on this club. Thats like 30 HR on the year. May see better pitches hitting around Gonzo.
I have only one question. What is his reputation like in the club house? The only type of ageing vet presence I want in the club house is like Eck. Or Piazza… you know… “confused”. I want someone with a + SARP (Scrap Above Replacement Player). IS THE MAN SCRAPPY!?!?!?!?!

At worse, he’s Venable who can take a walk. At best, he’s a significant upgrade.

Cunningham is IN San Diego!
per Corey Brock’s Follow the Padres on Twitter:
You wanted Aaron Cunningham? He’s here in San Diego, but …
he might be activated for Stairs, who might go on the DL.
