Monday AtM: Religion Always Exposes False Prophets Edition
JBox is in Chicago so I'm going to do something I haven't done in a long time. I'm going to load my gun. I'm going to fire some motherf_cking bullets. Every time I think I'm out... they... pull me... back... IN. Italics are mine and the bullets are invisible. Everything is after the jump.
Padres confident about signing Whitson | padres.com: News
"As for Whitson, he was in San Diego two weeks ago for a customary visit the Padres have with their top picks. He also took a physical." I hope the hernia check was extra gentle and persuasive, if you know what I mean. If you don't know what I mean, I'm hoping somebody performed sexual favors on Karsten Whitson to make him just sign the f_cking paper already.
The Official Blog of Matt Antonelli: WE'RE THEREEEEEEE
"I broke a few world records along the way, at least personal records. I ate McDonalds six times during the trip. " Matt Antonelli's been eating a lot of McDonald's. Tec must like a little bit of marshmallow with his peaches and cream. I don't know wtf I'm talking about.
Peterson: Another tough outing for San Francisco Giants' Tim Lincecum - San Jose Mercury News
"But any hopes and dreams they have for the season's final 43 games are dependent upon Lincecum pitching like a two-time Cy Young Award winner, as opposed to the guy who can't seem to figure out where the magic has gone." MAGIC!? I thought that the Giants won on BABIPBIB. They're using magic? Those f_ckers.
San Diego Padres at Chicago Cubs - August 16, 2010 | MLB.com Preview
"Combined with his 10 home runs, Venable becomes just the 12th player in franchise history to record at least 20 steals and 10 home runs in a season." Also, Will Venable is my favorite.
Soaring Padres KO Lincecum, continue mastery over Giants - SignOnSanDiego.com
"Three and a half is the number by which the Padres again lead the Giants, whose fans clearly bought into Sanchez’s rallying cry that the Padres would be swept over the weekend and be bounced out of division leadership for good." This is what you get for believing in a false soothsayer.
Denny's
"Just come into Denny's and say "Padres Scored" to get your free stack of pancakes!" Padres scored 6 yesterday, so we can get free pancakes! I'm predicting there will have to be some sweeping after I'm done gobbling down my delicious pancakes.
PADRES: Padres rout Lincecum, take series from second-place Giants
"Giants starters are winless in their last 12 games, going 0-7 with a 5.88 ERA." ...which makes the sweep prediction that much bolder/misinformed/hilarious.

Just a friendly reminder
in the predictions thread at the start of the season, I predicted a Padres vs. Rays WS.

Looks like myself and a couple other brave souls predicted first place.

Magic is never reliable
Gaslamp Ball Game OT: "Makes you happy in the pants"
"Even Jedis don't stand a chance against our bullpen."
the story about the doggers hiring a magician to send good vibrations
went away entirely too quick in my opinion. I smell a coverup.

It's a government conspiracy.

I think I know what Dex meant, but hope Jordan_Ming doesn’t take AtM the wrong way.

I figured out what you're thinking of
It took me a while and I had to enlist the help of somebody with a dirty mind, but I think somebody maybe might watch too much porn..
Actually, as soon as my friend figured it out, she got super excited and IM’d me over and over with the correct answer. I was like, “Jeez. This is not the kind of thing adults need to be super proud of right here.”
"Jeez. This is not the kind of thing adults need to be super proud of right here."
What kind of talk is this? I’m always proud of Gaslamp Ball!

Note to Giants whiners:
Many Padres pitchers are posting career numbers because this is the first time in their careers when they had not only the bast pitcher’s park in the majors, but also the best defense behind them too.
Oh yeah…and this whole “BABIP” thing…two words: Defensive Efficiency.
LOOK IT UP.
Also...
Padres BABIP in 2010: .295
Giants BABIP in 2010: .297

And those numbers are before Buster Posey regresses to the mean
Unless the Giants think he’s going to hit .340+ the rest of the season. ;-p
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
I'm gonna try to make it to see Portillo pitch in Eugene tonight
"I'll tell you about it because I am here and you are distant."
Hope he pitches a gem
And Domoromo and Liriano put on a show. _
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
