Padres hammer Diamondbacks in 9-3 win

PrintI can't explain to you happy I get when we build on our division lead. I love watching the rest of the teams slowly disappear into the horizon.
Let's see what happened tonight? Miguel Tejada crushed a 2 run homer into the Padres bullpen. David Eckstein got on base. Adrian Gonzalez hit his 156th homer to tie him with Nevin on the club's all time list. Wade LeBlanc pitched well except to Stephen Drew. I guess that's about it.
Oh one other thing. Unlike most baseball fans I enjoy a fan running on the field occasionally. I like the futility of it. They know that once they step on the field that they will eventually be caught and thrown in jail, but they do it anyway to stick it to the man. They're rebels without a cause. It's when they have a cause and try to preach a political message that I get pissed. Run your political messages back to Arizona and get away from our ballpark!
Anyways...I need to start thinking of excuses to get out of work early tomorrow for Throwback Thursday.
Go Padres!

I wish the Pads could send him to speak with Keith Law and Jon Morosi
To “explain” why the Padres are going to win.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
and perhaps "bend" their mind
to the fact that the Padres are winning and winning & are in First Place to stay.
And that they can just suck it.

I don't mind people running on the field either,
but they have to be naked. It’s lame if they have their clothes on.
This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell outta here.
Great win, especially since the Giants have to sit and stew on their day off...
…and hopefully watch the Pads add a half-game to their lead. >:-)

It was kind of a stealth throw
He threw it low enough that it sort of looked like it was just a throw back to the pitcher from the center field cam.

Just got to my cousin's place from the game.
A fun game to be at and ready to go tomorrow. Yeah Im the same way i dont mind a fan running out if they are just gettin their thrills..(I had 2 go on the field at a game in Arizona in 06 ) but the political crap, especially when no one there has any control over whats going on in Arizona, is ridiculous. Glad security got them quickly and it was just the 2. I think when the Dbags were in Washington last week something like 5 or 6 people kept coming out one at a time….
Anyways, ready to watch the sweep tomorrow!
A three hour drive back home for me will NOT be fun if we lose
that was a fun game to attend
kinda wish there were more ppl though.
and the political ppl were stupid. that is not how you do it.

Yep, it was fun
I was two rows from the absolute top of Petco Park though. It was windy up there.
I thought it was funny when the Dbacks DID score. Because I felt like we were all just “eh, no big.”
They know they that once they…

probably the most annoyed ive ever been to a game
annoying protestors and annoying b*tch from boston behind me. we told her to lower her voice…no need to be yelling everything she was saying to the person right next to her and to calm down with her cussing because of the little kids around us…no. kept on going.

oh man
Did you get an usher? What’d they do?
They should have either moved you, or her, or done something for ya!

couldn't really say anything
i was allowed to sit in 111 because i know that usher..and so were they because they know another usher. she just kept going on about how we had no right to tell her to quiet down and to calm down with her cussing because of free speech….

Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Same thing happened to me
(except I had tickets)
Loud drunk texan marine, his gf, and his buddy. Started in with the free speech blah blah, I told him that there’s guidelines for inside the park and I’d be happy to get an usher to explain it to him. He started saying something, I said “brb, usher”, and walked away. Got to the usher, told him what was up, pointed out the group, he came over and talked to him for a little bit. I didn’t hear thier conversation, but it didn’t sound like he agreed with the policy, so the usher left for about a minute, and the cops came to escort the texan man and his friends away. In his disbelief, he resisted and they threw. him. on. the. ground.
You, too, can make this happen. :)

i completely forgot the thing that annoyed us from the beginning
this is what she mainly wouldn’t shut up about:
“I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH ADRIAN GONZALES! EASTLAKE BITCHES! WE GRADUATED THE SAME YEAR!!!” and put that on repeat/blast at least twice an inning.
i told the ushers i knew in the area what was up. and they asked if i wanted them to tell the usher THEY knew..but they had left at the 7th. all was well in sec. 113

They usually have a number posted and you just send a text to it with the section the disruption is in and what the problem is and security will come check it out.

haha do you have to show the game ticket? i remember hooters had a promotion like this just in 08 i think. padres score 10+ runs…show your game ticket and you get 10 free wings.

**Offer only available at participating San Diego Denny’s locations. A free stack of pancakes is two pancakes for each guest.
that’s a long drive for 2 free pancakes.
also, I like that they define a stack as 2. technically the smallest stack possible.
I was dating this girl from Canada... after about a month I found out she didn't know what sport the Padres played, she thought "padre" was spelled p-o-d-r-a-y and she thought it was some kind of a fish. Dealbreaker.
they probably hadn't thought of that
hope they don’t read GLB.

Speaking of that...
After the bars had closed on Friday and Saturday nights..the Denny’s in PB on the corner of Mission and Garnet was the best place to meet girls hands down. My roommate Pete and I were regulars in there…we’d have our server send a table of girls a round of waters on us and have the server tell them the drinks were from “the gentlemen at that table over there” and give them a wave. Worked like a charm.
its not like that anymore
that place is a ghost town. i too remember its heyday, but those days are long gone.
some ppl mob to Hoboken Pizza across from Longboards now, since its open late, but i think the vast majority just grab a burrito and head home.

by Darklighter on Aug 26, 2010 10:02 AM PDT up reply actions
it is an awesome lead...
but, a long way to go. no time for complacency. the rox, granted way, way back just swept Atlanta, overcoming a 10-1 deficitm 4 in a row. They have Tulu back.
If it was not for Panda, the Giants would have done the same thing (sweeping a division leader at home, overcoming a 10-1 deficit).
even LA may sweep Milwaukee in Milwaukee.
when we have the division mathematically locked up, then let us gloat. until then, let’s be grateful for the wins, but take nothing for granted

and i think the game was closer than the score
Not that it was close, but we did not destroy them. We got 5 runs off of our two HR’s, they got 2. They had 9 base runners, 2 HRs and 2 doubles, 3 singles, 2 BB.
We had 14 base runners, 2 HRs, 7 singles, 5 BB. So 23 total bases to 17 for them. Yes, we were ahead, but we did not dominate, only in the score (granted, a nice place to dominate).
I didn't think the game was close at all...
They had one guy who had a great day. Everyone else looked like crap.
by theodore donald kerabatsos on Aug 26, 2010 7:24 AM PDT up reply actions
yes the score was San Diego 9 - Stephen Drew 3
if his teammates had showed up, woulda been a game. but none of them did. Joe Saunders looked awful. their fielders looked disinterested. and they couldn’t put the bat on the ball when they needed to.
(and don’t forget Drew coughed up that potential inning ending double play that led to 4 runs)

Perhaps you all discussed it in the OT yesterday, but I was unaware that baseball used instant replay at all. Is it only used under certain conditions? I was surprised to hear this happening last night.
