WALK OFF GRAND SLAM BY ADRIAN GONZALEZ! PADS WIN 5-1
by jbox on Jun 2, 2010 7:34 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe punchless Padres offense just needed to get deep into the Mets bullpen to come alive.
So there we were Mets leading 1-0 in the bottom of the 9th inning. Anthony Gwynn steals second base with no outs. Matt Stairs and Jerry Hairston strike out which leaves David Eckstein with 2 outs and 2 strikes. What does he do? He pops the clutch! Singles up the middle! Tie ball game! Stop hating and VOTE HIM AN ALL STAR!
In the bottom of the 11th, Anthony Gwynn hits a double. The Gwynn child is coming alive. Then Jon Garland comes in as a pinch hitter and bunts into a fielders choice where they tag Gwynn diving head first into third. Luckily Hairston singles to centerfield. David Eckstein comes to plate again with a chance to win the game but is hit by a pitch.
This is where Adrian Gonzalez comes in with the bases full of Padres. WALK OFF GRAND SLAM! OMG, dudes... OH EMM GEE!
Padres remain in first place one game ahead of the Dodgers!

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
I know
But just the fact that you’re saying he won’t play, we’ll probably hear about some weird injury (like got bit by a ferret or something) and he ends up on the DL.

I was just waiting for a bomb to left field. It looked like Adrian hit the ball at me, though it fell no where near me in the middle of the rows. So glad I stuck around for extras.

I was reciting all of the many twists and turns of this game to my dad
and it started feeling like the Story of the Story of Everest with all the failed rallies
The whole team was being so gentle with Adrian at the plate
First off Adrian jogged soooo slow around the bases. Then the team jumped and patted him so delicately. They didn’t want to hurt him in the pile.
Don't wanna pull a Kendry Morales.

Finally Adrian does something to win us a ballgame. The guy was as UNclutch as they come till now. Thank you Adrian, ,thank you.

where Zach and I were.
Amazing game to end my first ever trips to Petco – we got Headley’s sig before the game, visited Darren Smith (and someone else whose name I should know), and just had a ball of a time. It’s been the best visit ever and now definitely requires a fan-post (not tonight though, got to sleep, might have to wait till Friday)…

It was Randy Jones.
He was upset that I was wearing a Chargers hat during baseball season, and they had one of those throwback floppy hats sitting on their table, so one of the interns gave it to me.
Darren Smith was very friendly. I did not get to meet Marty because she was with the team in Petco.

So I miss most of the OT because I was at my nephew's little league game.
He hits his 3rd homerun in two games (today’s was not walk off because they were visitors)… and then, 10 minutes after their game ends Adrian hits his walk off. Coincidence? I think not. Adrian channels clutchness from my 8 year old nephew’s success.

Yup... I think he is just now 5'0"
But he is a beast. The best thing ever is that he wants to get a Scholarship and eventually play for the Padres. Plus I will be sure he doesn’t end up like Blanks, and can handle outside breaking ball and the inside pitch.
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
Dang.
You sure he doesn’t want to pitch some day? He could have the downward angle working for him.
And side note: So not fair. I am 5’3". By the time your nephew turns 10, he’ll probably be taller than me.
He actually loves pitching.
But in his current league they bat off a machine. But he has nasty stuff pitching. He can almost throw as hard as I can and I play softball quite a bit.

Totally. We should be able to run up the score on the bastards.
