Padres lose by a billion

Print"Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast." LOL, We sure do love a good Anchorman quote! Right guys?.
Kevin Correia really bit the big one this afternoon. I wasn't worried about the first four runs because the Padres are really good at scoring 5 runs as they showed in the 8th inning. I some how missed how they scored five. I know Adrian Gonzalez hit a grand slam, maybe he hit it so far that they gave him 5 runs. The only problem, as minor as it seemed at the time, was that by the 7th they were down by a eleven.
Oh well, it's on days like this that I admire our sportsmanship rather than the score.
Also I'm real worried about the way Andy and Jerry were describing Chris Denorfia's injury. As goes Denorfia, so goes the Padres. He's my favorite.
[Note by jbox, 08/26/10 7:21 PM PDT ]
Denorfia's injury was not an injury according to himself & Bud Black, just a "big-time cramp". Good news.
Whew!
Go Padres!

THIS.
I need new pants.
I can't remember another season with so much billioning.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

I was, but I'm not now
A medical staff as good as the Padres can easily tell the difference between a cramp and a strain.

No they didn't

That was everybody on here
Claiming that the injury was fake. The word from the training staff is that his elbow was messed up.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
With that type of injury its difficult to evaluate whether rest and rehab will work or whether surgery will work
The best training staff in the world would have done the same. That process is hard. Strain vs. Cramp not in the same ballpark difficulty-wise. So, no more making a mountain out of a mole hill, k?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Was that what happened with Carrillo?
Or was that just wishful thinking?
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Yes
You want to avoid TJ surgery as much as possible, so if there’s any chance rest and rehab will work you usually go for it unless the player would rather have surgery (which a lot do).
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
I would think surgery is the last resort option
But it’s so commonplace to see pitchers go through TJ surgery nowadays :-/
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
I know, but
The rest and rehab route is a couple months. TJ is a year and a half. For pitchers at least.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Oh, oops
Didn’t mean to make it sound like TJ was the ideal route. I’m more or less surprised at how routine it is nowadays. Hell, newly drafted pitchers seem to be going through it more often.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
I don't think its more often
Newly drafted pitchers are just more known now. You’d have to have read Baseball America’s actual physical publication to hear about it 15 years ago. But, that was back with the “Lost Generation” of draft picks with arm problems, when TJ wasn’t as effective as it is now, which has as much to do with the rehab process as the actual surgery.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

They said he's fine.

So this guy on craigslist was offering tix for the game...
He offered to meet us at the park. Turned out it was a scam, he never showed up. Shoulda taken it as a sign from the baseball gods to NOT go, but we ended up going anyways since we were there and got cheap seats for $30. Not even the free tacos were worth it…

what part of it was the scam?
did you pay him before you got the tickets? gaslamp ballers need to be warned of such things!

We took his amazing D for granted.

I would argue that, on this site at least...
If anything his D was over appreciated.
Almost everyone here wanted him and his .215 avg (yes I know batting average sucks, but its the only number I’ve got off the top of my head) playing every day.
That's because his defense more than made up for any offensive deficiencies
and he made our pitchers look way better than they are.

Cedric Hunter is 3/4th of the way to the cycle with 5 RBI in the 4th

It's too bad he's not on the 40 man roster
He’d be a good backup to have for CF
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Too bad he's not a major league caliber CF either.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Is his range really that bad?
I know he profiles more like a corner OF, but he doesn’t hit for enough power.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Exactly, he projects as a somewhat decent fourth OF that could play CF in a pinch
But, you’re hurting the club to play him there everyday. Especially as a rookie. You’re better off with Hairstons in the OF.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Do you see him having any chance of developing power?
He’s only 22 and playing in AAA, and I’d hate to write him off as just a 4th OF.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
No
And you don’t have to write him off as a just a 4h OF. Scouts have already done the work for you.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Heh, scouts also said Jaff Decker had a bad baseball body
And that got blown out of proportion.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Not the same thing
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
You're overracting
I mean its not the same when they say they like someone, but he’s got a bad baseball body at age 18 as when they really like someone, see him for a number of years, see that he’s not developing like they hoped he would, see him settle into being a certain type of player all the way up to AAA and make an evaluation.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Well, I guess in that case then I give those scouts
Just enough credibility.
;-p
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Yeah, but how's his shower body?

Beaver update:
Beavs up 6-4 over Tacoma
Everth Cabrera, 2-2, 1BB, 1SB, 2R
Cedric Hunter, 3-3, (what ’tec said), 2R, 5RBI
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Then you have to actually recommend it
Hit ‘actions’ and then ‘rec.’
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
San Antonio involved in a barn-burner
6-6 in the top of the 12th

I like how the walk to Kennedy that started the rally
THREE of the 4 balls called were in the strike zone according to Pitch F/x. #justsayin

I blame Sports Illustrated...
They put us number 1 in their power rankings, then we get spanked…
Hope Deno really is OK, though I’m not sure I believe it.
I’m going tonight (top of Section G, right hand side as you look at the field) with mom-in-law to watch us beat the Phillies a billion to zero.
Chris
I'm gonna be in section 131 tonight.

so is drama
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
my head just exploded
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
So we're supposed to panic now, right?
Or is that the Giants?
"Big Time Cramp"
oddly enough that was Pablo Sandivolv’s original nickname.
