Padres dominate the Mets. DOMINATE, I said.
Gotta get back in the game recap habit. Let's see what happened, what happened...
Corey Luebke controlled the game, like a boss. He said, "Here, I'm just gonna throw fastballs." And the Mets hitters were like, "What manner of trickery is this?" And Luebke said, "No srsly... Lemme just throw these balls right over to you. My arm kinda does something all cockeyed as I'm doing it, but they're just fastballs." And the Mets hitters were like, "SORCERY!"
And then what was nice was the Padres hitters were actually hitting not so bad. Mets starter, Jon Niese was confused by the Padres pathetic yet effective approach.
"It’s unfortunate, I didn’t think they hit any balls particularly hard, they just hit them where we weren’t," Niese said. "I thought I executed some pitches, worked the changeup quite a bit. But it’s one of those things where it’s kind of a little bit of bad luck."
I guess Li'l Jonny Niese wasn't there for my recent lesson in what it takes to kick someone's ass. It doesn't take "particularly hard" hitters. It just takes two feet: One for your ass and one to properly stabilize the leg while counterbalancing during the kicking motion of said ass. BELIEVE IT!
Also, Logan Forsythe hit a ground rule double. It's just sad that we'll be losing that guy's name to Hollywood once Dallas premiers on TBS next season.

Fun game to watch.
I feel future is bright for the Friars. With Blanks hitting, some of the other new guys hitting, and even when you don’t hit (I’m looking at you sneaky pig) you get an RBI Sac Fly… THATS the Padres I know. I am glad this whole Ludwick, Hawpe, Cantu, nonsense is behind us.
Anyone who spikes a ball after tagging out a douche like Andres Torres is OK by me.
This is by my favorite recap of the night
Especially since most of these “do the damn thing right here, yo!” phrases make me think of the awesomeness that is Kung Faux.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Awesome game.
Luebke’s a beast. I was a little disappointed when he was pulled in the 6th because I wanted to see more. The guy’s just fun to watch. Some nice hitting by the Pads too.
Blanks is starting to come around
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Pretty sure we've had worse turnouts this year.
Just no roll call to show for it.
No pants. No problem.
19 is a good number, though.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Rec'd for "SORCERY!"
Sorry to have missed it, I was volunteering at my high school and listening on the radio.
The Padres are good, but make no mistake: we've gotta beef up the linwup.
