Unsubstantiated Rumor Mill

PrintA few weeks back we started taking anonymous tips from you the Gaslamp Ball reader. Today we dive in and look at each rumor with a critical eye.
- The Padres are front and center in talks for Jayson Werth.
Werth is unlikeable at best. But as Dex told me today "I guess when you're on the road to the World Series, you occasionally step in shit to stay on the path." That's deep. I guess there were rumors flying around on talk radio and twitter this afternoon that this was a done deal, but now it seems have been proven false. Let's hope. - Chris Denorfia is Keyser Söze.
See Keyser Soze killed his own family when threatened by rival Hungarian mobsters. I think Denorfia would have to start hitting line drives into the Padres dugout before we could even consider him as Soze. - The mysterious 12th owner of the Padres ownership group is John Moores.
Supposedly they kept it a secret because they knew Padres fans would be pissed. That'd be a big let down if this mysterious owner was John Moores. That's about as interesting as a M. Night Shyamalan ending. - Peavy actually hurt his ankle in 2009 falling down some stairs while intoxicated instead of during a game as was reported.
I guess this rumor was making the rounds in Arizona. I have no idea if this rumor is true, but I do know that Peavy is a delicate flower.

Here's a substantiated rumor.
Matt Antonelli is playing tonight for the first time since his injury. He’ll be playing with Donovan Tate on the AZL Padres in Peoria.

What a coincidence
Antonelli’s hand is healed the same day ’tec’s is to be completely worn out.

Moores.
Boo. I was guessing it was Bill Gates. So that when the time comes for it, he gives us 49585740 million dollars to spend.

I still think the 12 owner is the Geezer Bandit.

No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

If you've seen him on Fox 5 in the moning
a few weeks back, and his Wookie call, he’d be a good Chewbacca.
As for Mrs. Eckstein? She’s Ahsoka Tano (she voices the young Padawan on the show).

It's midiCHLORIAN
And it was only about 6K…
Not even high enough to be trained as a Jedi… but higher than your average baseball player.

I was at the game when Peavy supposedly injured himself
and I never understood how he injured himself running the bases. No one noticed a thing wrong with him, including Peavy, at least by the look of him that day.
That game was also right after he nixed the first White Sox deal with his no-trade clause, so he might have had a few wild nights during that time to let off some steam. I say the rumor is very believable.
I was there too...
He was limping before the game, I couldn’t understand why he was in as he was obviously already injured. He then stood on the base funny when he hit the single, that’s when he really injured it (he got pulled from the game at the time).
So he definitely aggravated it running the bases, but was injured before the game started.

I don't understand the hate for this guy...
I mean really, none of us actually know him. Or his dad for that matter. He goes out and tries to do his best, every day. And what do we give him in return? CRAP. I just don’t understand it. And I actually thought The Village was kinda good.

I liked "Signs" it's a good alien movie.
Gaslamp Ball Game OT: "Makes you happy in the pants"
MLB Network: "Keep believing!"
Heat: "Uhh, no. We know."
I seen
Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Lady in the Water. Unbreakable and Lady in the Water make me think that I didn’t actually like Sixth Sense as much as I thought I did.
I liked the Village until the end
It would have been a good movie if it was just about spooky monsters.
oh, come on...
I just wanted to say that. I thought it would be funny.
We are each entitled to our own opinions.

Unbreakable was decent.
It was what it was. It was not trying to be pretentious. It was just a simple, straightforward story.
anything after that though… you should demand your money back!
the reveals in unbreakable were sooooo slow
Like when he’s lifting weights?
“Try 100 pounds… I’ve never benched 100 pounds before…”
[slowly add weight]
“Now try 120 pounds… I’ve never benched 120 pounds before…”
[slowly add weight]
“Now try 124 pounds… OMG… 124 pounds…”
Signs was good.
Scared the crap outta me when I was little. Sixth Sense was really good. Everything I’ve seen of his other than those two though=pure crap. I guess the village wasn’t bad, but that twist was so freaking stupid.

M. Night was at his peak
when he made Signs.
Then came The Village which started out great…..then the “WTF?” plot twist came, and it all went to hell from there.
The Last Airbender is further proof that he needs to stop writing his own screenplays.

ok, Jordan, everyone knows you are the nicest internet person around
And therefore I must carefully word this msg, while also smilling. :)
But… now that you are an adult, go back and watch signs….
:)
If it is no longer “good”… then it really isn’t a good movie. It’s kind of like how kids really liked the new Star Wars (with Jar Jar B@%@H), but anyone older was like… “uh, these suck”. The exception being the 3rd movie; that one was decent. The first two were just awful.

Haha, I gotcha
It has been a while since I saw signs. But it was only a few years ago, and to be honest, I was still creeped out (I am the biggest pansy when it come to scary movies). But maybe this weekend I’ll watch it again

Thank you!
Episode II was godawful. Not even Natalie Portman and a lack of Jar-Jar Binks could save this movie. Plus, I hated how they made Anakin a whiny b*tch.

I actually liked Episode II when I first saw it
But that’s probably because Episode I still left a bad taste in my mouth, even 3 years later.

Natalie could of save the movie, if she was……nekkid.

Her…“performance” in Closer (you know which one i’m talking about) saved me from falling asleep in the theatre.

I've met him 4 separate times
One was at an event, where I spent about 30 minutes with him and a few other San Diego sports celebrities. I personally thought he acted like highschool teenager, which in itself is not bad, just annoying.

I've read that Philly wants starting pitching for Werth...
so if we do this trade (God forbid) who are we giving up here exactly?

No, he is more or less a #2-3 starter.
But Hoyer has made it clear that they will only trade top prospects for players under control for several years. Sampson is the guy I am hoping they don’t move in any deal.
But Sampson has some serious future problems
all it would take is a single Dodgers fan to cut off his hair… and then all his strength is for naught…

I like this Unsubstantiated Rumor Mill
It makes me think of Darren Smith raging against the evil “blog” sites and warning everyone that it is 99.9% false. Well duh, it is the havoc the thinking brings that is the selling point for me. Go false rumors!
I doubt we end up with an OF at this point
The only one that makes any sense to me right now is Jose Guillen. Right handed bat, having a solid year, plays pretty good defense, wouldn’t cost a top prospect. He isn’t a long term solution, but he is a cheaper option for the rest of this year.
Venable, Gwynn, Cunningham, Denorfia, Hairston….adding another is just too many OFs. I bet we don’t add one. Like people have been saying recently, middle IF depth and a starter seems much more likely. Although I would like to see Stauffer get another shot in the rotation.
