Padres back in first place with 11 games to go

yes we are in first

“It’s as if he’s in a motorized chair.”
Heater, our own special person.

"I’m not doing anything differently, just trying to throw some strikes. I didn’t feel quite as sharp, but I made pitches when I needed to," he said. "It’s a good team win. Got a couple runs early, a bit of a cushion and we were able to hold them off."

He made some f__king pitches.

Hope the GLBers at the game had a good time, definitely helped the Padres win.

Another big one tonight. We need Mat to get back on track.

GO PADRES

Vin Scully was fantastic in last night’s broadcast. Sure, he messes up the count from time to time, as well as the scoring of plays, he tells often arcane stories, and his description of what happened on the field is not always perfectly accurate. But his voice is still buttery and the tone was just right. He almost seemed to be rooting for the Padres.

Why mention this? As a viewer of the mlb extra innings package — as all long distance Padres fans know — you listen to a lot of other teams’ broadcasts (ALL of them, this year), and you are forced to listen to a lot of blow-hards. The analyst for the Rockies (George something) is an absolutely insufferable bore. So cheers to Vin, the guy’s a pro. And hopefully next year we get the channel 4 team back at least occasionally.
