I don't like losing in extra innings. I especially don't like losing after making a comeback. I'm going to pretend like that didn't happen.

One thing that did happen was Scott Hairston got tossed for flipping his bat. I've learned through the years that if you're gonna make somebody mad, you should try to make them as mad as possible. Wait... I think it was more that if somebody's gonna make you mad, you should laugh in their face because it shows that you're not mad and that will make the other person more mad, which is satisfying.

Or you can ignore the person, which makes that person mad. Like when they start yelling at you, start up a conversation with somebody nearby and pretend that the instigator is invisible. Like as soon as the ump says something, Scotty could've looked at the sky and said, "Weird how we get blue skies as soon as July hits."

I think the Padres should hire me and jbox as "smart-ass consultants". Between my communication skills and jbox's current standing as The Biggest Smart Ass Mentor Knows, we could teach the Padres how to provide maximum irritation with minimal consequence.

We have been really uncharacteristic this last stretch of games

We’ve been giving up runs, losing holds, etc. In short, the pitching hasn’t been as phenomenal as it’s been all year.

Thankfully we are playing the Astros for three more game and have the real savior pitching tonight (even though it’s against Oswalt). I expect Latos to pitch an absolute gem tonight; I think we’ll only need one run to win tonight.

Me? I drive down to SD tonight, I will be getting my fix of live Padre baseball tomorrow night, I can’t wait.

Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts

They should hire you for that.

Because that makes it far more likely that someday I can earn a living as a Sarcasm Consultant. That could be my ticket to riches.

Any team, on any given night, can beat another team

That’s why we play the games on the field, not on paper.

I can tell the people who have actually met and had conversations with jbox, because one of the first descriptors is always “He’s such a smart ass.”

Unless you ask Ax,

who will be quick to tell you of jbox’s dainty wrists.

I need new pants.

dainty wrists are a close second. dreamy eyes that are as deep as the ocean comes in third.

if i give any more away, i’m sure i’ll get banned.
