Padres kill Blue Jays with bats not BB gun

PrintPadres.com has a headline for Aaron Cunningham that says "Aaron's Party: Grand slam helps Friars beat Jays". Did they really reference an Aaron Carter song? What's worse that they named a link after Aaron Carter or that I recognized the reference to an Aaron Carter song? You decide.
Speaking of Aaron Cunningham he sure knows how to make a first impression. A Grand Slam in his first at bat as a Padre Padres starter. Has any other Padre ever done that? Somebody look that up for me.
[Note by jbox, 06/15/10 10:59 PM PDT ] CurbEnthusiasm comes through with the important stat. Aaron Cunningham is the only Padre who's first hit was a grand slam.
You know what else I noticed? The Blue Jays' uniform numbers are all sparkly. It looks like they skinned a Twilight vampire and slapped it on the player's backs.
Padres back to their winning ways. Rubber match tomorrow. Be there!

That's the one.

Someone said it was a first
I think the first time a Padre’s first homer has been a Slam.

It was definitely
The first one on a Tuesday against a Canadian team.

anyways this was a really nice win
I loved the extra runs at the end. Most wins we’d get the big hit to go ahead and then the offense would turn off and let the pitchers finish the game. This time the bats put an inning together late (even if it was a couple bloops) and that’s good to see. fun game to watch.
Great game

I was at the game. I nearly had to change my pants after the slam.
However I was on a date, so instead I politely excused myself and pissed all over a porcelain container in a designated room.
I spent most of the game explaining the intricacies of the game. I was impressive. I even explained the difference between pitching from the stretch and the wind up, and why I was pissed when that Blow Jay hit that double in the 4th to break up the no-hitter, and what a secondary lead is.
Had a blast. I should have tried to find more GLBers at the game, but I determined it would be too much work.

You were on a date...
…probably best to keep the attention on her than on other GLB folks!
I went for a run near Petco last night before the game, and was totally looking for a guy who looked like your little photo who looked like he was on a third date. Will there be a fourth?
correction..
you think you were impressive. You should turn this into a GLB series….“X-factor, Mr. Daniel attempts to date and tells everyone on the interwebs.”
=SD=
I prefer intertubes.

Additionally I was impressive enough to get another date for Saturday.
So if she was not impressed. At least she wasn’t turned off by my constant babbling,

I'm not judging you.
At least not about the Aaron C. thing…

I kid because I love.
Love… I guess that’s what you call this friendliness-without-an-erection feeling.

Todays game was awesome!
But I’m sad that I’ll never be able to watch an Aaron Cunningslam at bat. RESPECT THE STREAK!

What about Kouz?
Not to get anyone/thing started… didn’t he hit a slam early? What is the story behind that one?
First pitch in the major leagues.

Good game...
Mom-in-law was just calling Cunningham a bum for striking out his first two at bats, then he hit a grand slam. Beautiful moment ;)
Some great fielding.
When are we sending Denorfia down? No excuse for that run out, though he did make a couple of decent plays later to try to redeem himself!
I guess we had the amazing variable strikezone again last night?
Heath Bell looked bummed not to have to come in.
Lets win the series this afternoon!
Well, assuming Blanks is getting called back up (he wasn't in Portland's lineup last night)...
It’ll be either Salad Czar or Deno getting the axe.

I didn't think he'd get called back up any time soon either...
but it does seem odd that he didn’t play last night.

Coach mentioned on post game
that they just wanted to get him a rest.
