PrintI was at the game yesterday amongst the tourists. Was I scared? Hell no. Contrary to popular belief, the Giants are the same size as normal men.
Did you guys know that Tim Lincecum's nickname is the Freak? How have I ever missed that? The Freak has a picture book coming out. I know you guys will hate me for it, but I'd love to get a copy of that book... AND DRAW PENISES ALL OVER IT. #childish #gwynning
The sample size is small, but tThe Padres apparently can't hit again. That said, Nick Hundley will win the Triple Crown.
It looks like Steve Adler is still churning out the podcasts LIKE A BOSS. This despite the fact that he's also going to be doing Friarhood Radio on XTRA 1360 He's like a one man Padres media empire that one.
I'll have to comment on this more later today, but San Diego was ranked as the #23 "Ultimate Sports City" by TUSL. I get it. We're not considered a mecca of sports by many, but to put us behind #22 ranked SEATTLE!?!?! HOME OF THE MARINERS!?!?! That drives me crazy.
Aaaaand in case you missed it, Cheri Olivera maybe is probably insane, or that's what the defense would have you believe!

When they decide they'd rather let people think THEY look bad than people thinking their SUNGLASSES look bad.
The National League West title was all but a lock,
Then they lost 10 in a row, ‘twas like a punch in the jock!
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't

Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts

Glad to see we barely pulled ahead of a City
whose infrastructure was on the receiving end of a "Biblical" sized ass whipping just five years ago…

As someone who
is a Padres fan (from many years living in SD) AND a Seahawks fan (NOT M’s fan) from growing up in the Inland Pacific NW, I would have to rank Seattle above SD too. Ever been to a ‘Hawks game at Qwest? Always sold out, almost no away fans there. I’ve been to Charger and Padre games and seen the park/stadium more than half filled with opposing fans AND rarely sold out to begin with. The year after the Chargers’ SB appearance, I remember the home opener the next season and it took a corporate buy-out of 5,000 tickets to sell the place out a few days before the game. I may root for a crappy team, but they have huge support. And now neither team has an NBA team (but did SD really ever have one – I went to some of those Clippers games.)
This shirt was made for you, Seattle lover. . .

This comment relies on a flawed comparison
All bias aside, the location and weather of San Diego make it a much better and easier place to travel compared to anywhere in the Pacific NW. The Mariners and Seahawks (usually) are the teams travelling the greatest distances just to get to games. It’s disingenuous to overlook those facts.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

I went to Chargers/Hawks last year
It was a blast. Seahawks are loud and passionate as hell.

The Seattle Sounders fans are notorious for being just as passionate
Those soccer games are louder than most football games. Of course it’s Qwest Field and its acoustics again, but still.
Mariners fans suck though. Not sure how that happened.

i hate to say it
but west coast fans in general just aren’t that great. since moving to the east coast it was so strange to find out the average person actually “liked” baseball. if you think about it, the only place in the western US known for having “great fans” is probably colorado.

Adrian is a parasite
he’s the only Red Sock who can hit and the rest of their team is melting like the wicked witch of the west
