Padres chug the Brewers, avoid sweep

PrintSee that? Padres did it again. They avoided the three game sweep. Now they are 14-1 after consecutive losses. Bummer they lost the series but they had a hell of a road trip. With the Giants loss to the Cardinals they take a 6 game lead going into tomorrow's off day.
The big hits of the game were Ryan Ludwick who hit a two run double in the 5th and Miguel Tejada who hit a two run double in the 6th.
Garland's 21 1/3 scoreless inning streak came to an end in the 5th when he gave up a two run shot to Ryan Braun.
We spent the second half of the game at Friar Tux, I think that turned out to be good luck.
Go Padres!

On facebook the Padres posted something about the Padres winning and a girl commented on it and said this:

It's been so long since we last did it.
And to be very honest, the last time we did it, it started off really hot and then we got a little too excited and we blew our load way too fast. Just like that we went from pure ecstasy to a lot of crying and apologies.
Two words:

Because jbox was asking about it....
Mud was telling a great story about Matt Stairs and Bud Black in the locker room before the game today.
Buddy was sitting in his office talking with some people and had the door open…Stairs goes walking by the office and in a really loud voice (so that Bud can obviously hear it) says “Apparently hitting a homerun isn’t enough to get you into the starting line-up around here.” And Buddy yells out that that rule only applies to players under the age of 40.
Pretty funny stuff.

Also,
yes, Rivers was wearing an SD cap for a bit. After the Goofy hat. And then he put on a fedora.
And the jacket he was wearing in the beginning was so Padres throwback.
I need new pants.
He'd better be sportin' Padre wear
San Diego Solidarity, dammit!
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Rivers Cuomo being a Padres fan
Makes him even cooler.

Thom Yorke from Radiohead
What his opinion of the Padres is, I don’t know.
You're kidding?
That is Thom Yorke of Radiohead, probably the best band of my generation.
Kid A and In Rainbows are two of the best albums of the last decade.

haha.
the only thing more annoying than thom yorke is radiohead’s rabid fanbase
I wouldn't consider myself a rabid Radiohead fan
I just think the stuff they put out is incredible.
And as for Yorke being annoying: I’ll grant you that. He can be a dick sometimes, but at least he hasn’t come off like some pompous ass like Bono apparently is.

Aaron Cunningham with a GRAND SLAM tonight for Portland! Everth Cabrera started it off with a lead-off walk. _
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Hopefully, they get back here during September call-ups,
but I’m glad to see Durango had a big game, though.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Yes but,
If they are not on the 25 man roster by Aug 31, they will not be eligible for games that may be played following the end of the regular season.
SlyChops is pretty sweet.
I can’t believe he won’t get the call up when the rosters expand.

Cesar Ramos is pitching a shutout.

Heath Bell
His response when asked why they’re so good (14-1) after losing two in a row: “We’re happy flight guys.” Freaking classic!
Was there today (and last night).
Mud and Enberg are nice and say hello. And a win.
Even the kid from Easter Island can do one sit-up.
UNSWEEPABLE
I haven’t posted here in so long but I’ve been keeping tabs for the last several seasons!! This just yet might be greatest one yet. I can no longer contain my excitement!!!

It's weird to see Mike Koplove pitching in the Padres' system
I hated him while he was with the D-Bags.

And Baxter makes the unassisted double-play to clinch that paddling
At least this bunch of prospects, system players and has-beens are getting it done tonight.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Actually, I take back the has-beens part
Not as many of them on the Portland team as there were a few years ago. This year it actually seems like it has a bunch of younger guys who still have the potential to make an impact.

Padres should do a reality tv show with all the sibling they have
Imagine “Keeping up with the Giles’”, “Keeping up with the Gwynn’s”, “Keeping up with the Harriston’s”
Keeping up with the Giles could have been entertaining with Brian’s suck and his personal problems.
