PrintChicago Cubs at San Diego Padres, Sep 26, 2011 7:05 PM PDT
Here we are, entering the final series of the season. These last three games mean virtually nothing, but let's enjoy them anyway.
Mat Latos will make his final start of 2011 tonight and aims for a strong finish to a season that began a bit rocky for him. He overcame his first-half struggles and has been able to revert back to the pitcher we saw in 2010, being more consistent and dominant on the mound. His last start was his best of the year, although he came up just short of a complete game. He pitched 8 2/3 innings of six-hit one-run ball, walking one and striking out nine.
For the Cubs, pitching opposite Latos, will be Casey Coleman, who has struggled this season as well, but is coming off a fantastic performance against the Brewers. He struck out a career-high eight batters in six innings of work and allowed just one earned run on two hits and three walks.
Most Padres fans are happy to see the end of the 2011 season. Let's send it off on a high note and win this last series.
GO FRIARS!! KEEP THE FAITH!! RUIN EVERYTHING!!

Anyone read Scan's farewell blog?

If he’s not involved with the Padres next year, I will be so bummed. Unless he joins Matty V at the MLB Network so he can wow them with his Scanalystic awesomeness.
25 years as a baseball fan and I'm still confused by the infield fly rule
yeah
as fond as I am of the Channel 4 crew, I think Scanlan’s legitimately the most talented and interesting to listen to. when he gets a full length segment to analyze what happened in the game, he comes up with some really fascinating stuff to discuss.
Yeah,
I really hope he is still involved with the team. If the new network doesn’t want him, they are out of their minds.
No pants. No problem.
I believe!

Here during halftime
Score some runs for me, Padres.
Why ask a failed romance to come watch your successful one? You know, that's like inviting the Seattle Mariners to a World Series game. It's just weird for everyone.
I'm watching Boston in the throws of the worst September choke job....ever
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
As an Angels fan with memories of 1986 and 1995, I'm loving it

Yay! Even though it means the Angels are officially eliminated
Go Tampa.

Cam's baserunning has not been good lately

Didn't know that
But doesn’t it seem he’s been picked off or CS a lot more this month?
25 years as a baseball fan and I'm still confused by the infield fly rule
omg I'm late!
What’d I miss? GO MAT! GO PADRES!

Ugh, that should've been a run
Dang it Cam.
25 years as a baseball fan and I'm still confused by the infield fly rule
this is the Latos
we did not see for the first half of the season
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
Hopefully 2012 is the year he's awesome from start to finish
And some run support would be nice, too
25 years as a baseball fan and I'm still confused by the infield fly rule
I think he'll be great next year
this was a hangover year, he was overused in 2010 (not that I wouldn’t have done the same thing)
Next year will be is break out year.
Hopefully they will sign him through his arbitration years this winter.
Hi All
Working today, but I’ll be popping by to express my love for the Friars.

OT but one of my friends is in Australia on vacation
And she is loving it and I’m deeply jealous. She even got to feed a koala.
25 years as a baseball fan and I'm still confused by the infield fly rule
Glorious
Where is she?
queen of the rec fairies
although it broke our hearts it did not break our will the herd
In Brisbane mostly, where her cousin lives
They also spent time at Fraser Island and in Grimsby.

When I visited Australia years ago,
we saw wild kangaroos just minutes away from my cousins’ house. I even got to see a real live kangaroo fight. It was AWESOME.
No pants. No problem.
Wow
Where does your cousin live?
queen of the rec fairies
although it broke our hearts it did not break our will the herd
Melbourne is the best city in Australia
Not quite an SD, but glorious food, music and sport…
queen of the rec fairies

I saw pics of kangaroos on her Facebook
Damn, they have scary claws.
25 years as a baseball fan and I'm still confused by the infield fly rule
I mean my friend's Facebook not yours or your cousin's
25 years as a baseball fan and I'm still confused by the infield fly rule
Damn Mat
25 years as a baseball fan and I'm still confused by the infield fly rule
Mat's junk pitches are working like crazy today
every K is a bouncer in the dirt, they are biting like crazy on them
man
if this game end ups like that one at Dodger Stadium earlier this season because we can’t hit this chump…
Wouldn't have minded a pick-off attempt!

Look at Jodes' intro to this thread
He’s had a horrible season but is coming off an excellent last start. Ump is also squeezing Mat more than him I reckon.

You're intros are always full of gems
Tis a pleasure to read them.

He has shifted to the right side of the rubber these past two games
and apparently it’s been paying off.
No pants. No problem.
I'm sure Mat would appreciate some calls like that

Astros beat Cards
ATL stays 1 game over Cards with 2 left

For fiddlesticks sake!
queen of the rec fairies
although it broke our hearts it did not break our will the herd
Yup
and of course MLB TV froze on me just before he hit that, so then when it unfroze I had to hope that a Cubs player had got to third base via an error!
queen of the rec fairies
although it broke our hearts it did not break our will the herd
No damage done at least
25 years as a baseball fan and I'm still confused by the infield fly rule

ALWAYS

Nerts.
At least we have a safety.

Sorry
just teasin – unfamiliar with your use of the term safety, so my mind went laterally.
queen of the rec fairies
although it broke our hearts it did not break our will the herd
You know 3 Charger safeties but don't know football rules?
Very suspicious.

Aha
Ooops – can you forgive an Australian moment, lol.
(And of course, I know more than three Charger safeties, just didn’t want to get excessive, grin.)
queen of the rec fairies
although it broke our hearts it did not break our will the herd
I knew it was just a minor gaffe
And very impressive that you can name more than 3.

Your kids don't care?
That’s too bad. You should begin testing them on football. Start with the Cowboys.

No, kids are on the yellow brick road towards the one true (American) football faith
Others (or at least significant other) is not so convinced.

You mean she wasn't pumped about the acquisition of Na'il Diggs?
Jeez.

I know right
All she ever says is that AJ ego is too big, Norv should’ve been fired a long time ago (for not running the ball enough, among other things), and the defense will never do anything until it shifts to a 4-3.

Women...

Slightly off-topic
But if the Red Sox miss out the WC, I’m going to feel even better about beating them earlier this season!
queen of the rec fairies
although it broke our hearts it did not break our will the herd
YES!
Those two losses to “the terrible Padres”. That would be golden.

It'll be all I can do to stay classy n not mention it to Sox fans
queen of the rec fairies
although it broke our hearts it did not break our will the herd
Oh, I'll totally mention it to Sox fans.
They’ve said a lot worse to me after last season and the Adrian trade.
No pants. No problem.
That kind of revenge is deserved
and deliciously sweet.
I’m tempted to go a trollin, but will likely be good…
queen of the rec fairies
although it broke our hearts it did not break our will the herd
Yeah.
You try not to rile up those Sawx fans down under.

Very tempted to respond that
you are the other team (in caps), but there is only one Jodes!

Besides which
We do share the ruinous Padres in common, and I do enjoy that.

Here comes the HEAT!
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.
queen of the rec fairies

Yes apologies
I should’ve have checked, will do next time.
