The shirt is the one they had all the players wear.
Jon did no serving, though.

My Cory/Harry tweet is in the UT!
In the midst of a bunch of twittering GLB crew bantering about the youthful Luebke last night, I observed that he looked kinda young and even more Harry Potter/brooding vampire-ish. Guess I remembered to use the #Padres hastag and the UT picked it up this morning along with one of Demoira’s shout outs to Yortviiiit! Always fun to see my name in prints – even if it is spelled wrong ;-)

Luebke
Dude was amazing last night, although I was a bit nervous after watching him in the bullpen to warm-up because his command was off. Glad he got it together when it mattered. The lady behind us kept calling him “Lube-kuh-bee” the entire night, and all we could think of was this:
Congrats to the Padres on the sweep. Starting pitching from the Friars was outstanding this series. From my perspective, the best things about the series were that the Giants didn’t get any help from the Dodgers and this little gem of a headline from TBLA scribe Eric Stephens.
I really hope the Padres can hold on for the rest of the season, obviously because of my hatred of the Giants, but also because it’s been fun to see San Diego energized about the team this year and because the GLB’ers here deserve another moment in the post-season sun.
Congrats again, gang – the Pads have my full support! (and don’t forget to look for my cameo appearance this season on Terriers where David Wells and I are sitting in the window of Cheswick’s throwing back a couple tall cans of PBR!)

No, and thus, I am still a man-child. My face seems to think it can rock a goatee, but once it grows about 1/8 of an inch it decides “meh” and ends up languishing at that length and making my face look dirty.

Don’t come waltzing in here after joining less than 2 months ago and tell us how to root for our baseball team. Don’t judge us on how we act around here during a 10-game losing streak. You don’t know shit.
