"I am supposed to have answers, but beyond the fact that the pitching has been much better than anyone could have anticipated, I don't. Before the season, I had the Padres winning 75 games. People thought I was crazy for picking them to finish fourth in the division, ahead of Arizona, but I felt strongly that while the Padres would be pretty bad, the Diamondbacks would be terrible. Well, one out of two ain't bad." -

"Nick called for my split-change and for something like 15 or 20 batters, I’d thrown that and I wanted a fastball away," Mujica said. "But it wasn’t away. It was up the middle and (Smith) hit it hard. "Same thing with Yorvi. I wanted fastball away and it wasn’t."

Do you like this story?

so....
mujica is claiming that for 15-20 batters he threw nothing but split-change?
And then, he threw a fastball (away), which was hit fairly well… so, the next time he comes out, he decides he should throw that fastball again…
He may be a nice guy and all, but he is not the brightest light in the room, and I really don’t have that many light bulbs in this room.
why are the padres so awesome at things and stuff???
makes me so happy.

Kras has a good line in his latest article
Before Tuesday’s game, West Coast Bias saw a woman who wore a shirt with the message “I Only Kiss Padres Fans.” She was far from unattractive, but I doubt she found many takers because she was at Petco Park.

This is unrelated to baseball, but, did any here see The Last Airbender? If so then was it as horrible as everyone says or what?
Also have you watched the series on Nickelodeon and liked it. I ask because I watched the whole series and liked it a lot and want to know if anybody in the world liked this movie.

I heard from people who watched the series
That most of the criticisms of the movie were total BS.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

I'm seeing it tonight.
I’m giving M. Night Shaymalan one more chance after The Happening, The Village, and Lady In the Water. God, those were awful movies.

You obviously need to watch
the 1991 (I think?) version of Blood Games. It’s hilariously (only not really) terrible

Atomic Train
Worst movie ever.
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
A.I was not the worst movie....
not by a longshot. The Spielberg ending was a bit lame, but it was actually a decent “C+” movie.
Exactly.
There were a few entertaining parts that made the movie worth watching, unlike Lady in the water, which was 2 hours of crap IMO.
Please don't read my signature.
I think you are going to be disappointed
Set your expectations to LOW.
Mr. crazy is directing… and he has not produced anything halfway decent since… maybe Unbreakable? Unbreakable was decent… not sure if anything after that was watchable.
Also, RT is usually pretty spot on (for me).
The best reviews ever: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/transformers_revenge_of_the_fallen/
There are some very very entertaining reviews. The top critics reviews are particularly enjoyable… from Ebert:
“If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination. "
Best review
was from Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers on Transformers 2. It’s not up, but It was funny and true on almost every level.

I still have a glove signed by Nady
It would be nice to see him back in a Pads uni.
The Padres are good, but make no mistake: we've gotta beef up the linwup.
If I had a nickel from every SBN blog that has banned me, Arrowhead Pride would owe me 5¢.

Seems to me
That he didn’t take too well to Petco Park. I’m not sure how excited he’d be to come back. Not to mention he’s not doing that great for Chicago.
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, but its Chicago
he may get better once he is able to get the stench out of his uniform.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
I don't even want to
take a chance on an injury risk like Nady. I loved the guy when he was here, and I wanted Boch to play him so bad, but I don’t think we can risk our (what I think will be) one move on him.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
Nady is one of our secret weapons to make the Cubs more miserable.
Even the Cub fans know that. Why would we want to take him back.

DeJesus
seems like a good fit. Not a ton of power but spray hitter who makes contact. With the year he is having, we may have to overpay for him.
Padres 2010 Ole'
DeJesus is also an extremely good defensive LF.
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
ok, I'd take De Jesus in left for a corner outfielder and a PTBNL
“oh, sorry. We need that in the form of a question.”
Crap… Would I take DeJesus in left in exchange for a corner outfielder and a PTBNL?
what’s he worth wonko?
More than we can give.

Doesn't that leave us
with an open roster spot? Stauffer back up?
"You're like the nicest internet person I know." - theodore donald kerabatsos
Designated for Assignment
You’ll sometimes read that a player has been “designated for assignment.”
What does this mean? Essentially, it allows a club to open up a roster spot while it figures out what it’s going to do with a player. As we’ll see below, there are certain situations in which a team needs a player’s permission to either trade him or send him to the minors. So rather than force the player to make a quick decision, the team can simply designate him for assignment while he decides.
More commonly, a player is designated for assignment so the club can open up his roster spot while they’re waiting for him to clear waivers, which can take four or five days. Occasionally, a club will designate a player for assignment while they’re trying to trade him.
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
True that.
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
Nope
Technically, if Stauffer blows out his arm pitching tonight they can send him right back to the DL and un-DFA Gallagher.
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
The Red Sox did this earlier in the year with Darnell McDonald

Cunningham should be getting 10-15 Padre PA's a week
which maybe of same value as 20-25 at PDX….allegiance to Deno by Budbot and Hoyer shows that they are sensitive men and appreciate Deno’s tenacity and courage
