Game Thread: 9/27 Padres vs. Cubs

Chicago Cubs at San Diego Padres, Sep 27, 2011 7:05 PM PDT


You guys! Two games left! Is anyone else freaking out? Just me? Okay.

Star-divide

Anthony Bass is making his third major league start tonight on the eve of the 2011 Padres season closer.  He is taking over for Tim Stauffer, who is out with tendinitis.  Last week, he made his second start against the Rockies at Coors Field and pitched five strong innings of scoreless ball to get his second win.  Bass will attempt to end the season undefeated in his three starts before he goes off to play in the AFL this Fall, where he hopes to continue impressing and possibly help earn himself a job at the big league level next season, whether it be in the rotation or in long relief.  He has had a great season and we hope he can finish it off with a great performance tonight.

Matt Garza will take the mound for the Cubs.  He is coming off three consecutive wins, including a complete game against the Brewers in his last start.  Despite having a rocky season, he has pitched well in his last ten games, and a win tonight would bring his season record to .500.

Last night's win was a great way to start off our final series of the season.  Let's secure the series win today so we can bring out our brooms tomorrow!

GO FRIARS!!  KEEP THE FAITH!!  RUIN EVERYTHING!!

Oh yeah, Jesus Guzman was scratched from the lineup yet again with a sore neck. That's four times in five games.  He will end the season with the highest AVG at Petco Park.

New #Padres lineup forthcoming. Guzman has a sore neck. Different neck this time. OK, that part was a joke.

Padre Store

is there a store in town, where you can buy the jersey t shirts of players where they have the name ane number on the back? Do they even sell that sort of thing at the stadium? And if so, is the stadium store open during the offseason?

Looking for Maybin or Latos.

by backtocali on Sep 28, 2011 7:43 AM PDT reply actions  

The only Padres store is at Petco Park.

Pretty sure it’s open during the off-season, but the only hours I’ve got from the website only specify non-game days: “Non-game Days: Open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Saturday, and 11:00 am to 4:00 pm on Sundays.”

You can also order custom jerseys online through the Padres store, although I think it’s cheaper to order straight from Majestic. I’m too lazy to check, though, so do your own due diligence.

by Darklighter on Sep 28, 2011 8:57 AM PDT up reply actions  

Thank You

My bro lives in Del Mar and I want him to pick me up one of them. They have these t shirts you can buy at Miller Park, or Wrigley or other places where its the team name on front, player name and number on back. So sort of a jersey, but not quite. They usually run for about $10-$15 or so.
