Cole Hamels wouldn't want to play for hometown Padres

why hamels couldnt play for hometown sd: "why would i want to go where fans only support you from the 3rd inn. thru the 6th?''

Woah! Woah! Woah!

Which Padres super fans are staying in their seats and supporting players during the middle innings? In theater they called it an intermission, in football it's called half time, in baseball they call it "the 3rd thru 6th".

It's common knowledge among baseball fans that those are the boring innings. That's prime fish taco eating time. Get up and walk around, use the bathroom if nature calls. One in four dentists agree that If you don't stretch your legs you're going to get cramps by the 9th.

What?!

There’s a baseball team in Southern California that doesn’t have “Los Angeles” in the name?

(Also, Cole Hamels can choke on a dick. He was an unpleasant punk at Rancho Bernardo too.)

Also cheering is so uncouth

I prefer to politely encourage players at normal volume and pitch when urged to “make some noise”

If a fan isn't urged "to make some noise"

does a fan make a sound at all?

Oh good, I always wait outside the park until the 3rd inning anyways

Also, have you seen the lines for the trolley? There’s no way I could wait until the game is actually over to leave, it’d be too crowded!

in all seriousness

having everyone start heckling in the 3rd inning would be pretty great. if only there was a Padres equivalent to The Show…

jodes was supposed to get on that

Where would everybody sit?

by Dex on Feb 23, 2012 6:25 PM PST via iPhone app up reply actions  

Well, I really tried.

But like I told you, The Show is an Aztecs fan base. Not a San Diego fan base. It is full of fans of many different baseball teams, and a good chunk of them are Giants fans. So trying to get them to come to a Padres game was impossible.

by jodes0405 on Feb 23, 2012 10:27 PM PST up reply actions  

We don't need The Show to come to Padres games.

We just need our own equivalent. Apply some of that engineer’s problem-solving know-how!

I think to do it right, we need three sections.

One in right field, one in left field, and one at home. Outfield sections are responsible for heckling opposing batters (right field for lefties and vice versa) while the home plate section is responsible for heckling opposing pitchers. And then the bonus for having three sections equally spread out is getting some good whole-stadium chants going.

by Darklighter on Feb 24, 2012 11:42 AM PST up reply actions  

Dude, we're only there for 4 innings

This is too much work.

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.

if everyone is serious about this...

ive been working on chants for about a season and a half. i thought of 2 for cole hamels after i read this. most of the chants for opposing teams have some curse words but i have chants for our players too. i wanted to start a fbook page once i got a enough people to buy in. i was planning on sitting in right field. we need name. i was thinking THE CLERGY. if everyone is down i can start a thread with all the chants listed and we could get this going. ive been wanting to this for the last 3 seasons….yes im a little excited.

He is getting confused

He only hears Philly fans cheering from the 3rd “thru” 6th. After that all the transplant Phillie fans have to commute to the suburbs. While the true SD fans continue to eat fish tacos and play on their iPads. Right? Am I right?

Cole Hamels is a dodger lover.

He assumes that’s how Padres fans are because as a kid he only went to games when his beloved Dodgers were playing us and, in his syphillis-addled pubescent mind believed that all of those dirty Dodger fans who bought up all the tickets and streamed in late and left early when their crummy team was so far behind were San Diego fans.

That’ll teach him.

Oh, suck it, Hamels. You will never start a game… but we will bring you in during the 3rd inning so our fans can see you pitch.

I like this idea

With a clause in his contract that says if he surrenders a hit between the third and sixth innings, everybody gets Jack in the Box— wait, everybody gets Hodad’s. Much better.

He already thinks San Diego is LA so let's really confuse him . . .

We’ll do one of those annoying San Francisco Giants chants: “What’ the matter with Hamels!??? HE’S! A! BUM!”

He’ll be looking out in LF for a Giant Coke bottle and a baseball glove. Then we’ll all leave in the 8th instead of the 6th. And his mind will be totally fucked.

The first time any of us got to see Heath Bell's charging entrance to a ballgame was the allstar game.

Before that I had only heard rumors about that and some Hell’s Bells thing that they used to test the PA with late in games after all the fans had gone home.

Who is this Cole Hamels fella anyway?

We San Diego fans barely pay attention to our own team for 1/3 of a game, and dont even give statues to supposed baseball legends that lived here. Why would we care what this east coast fella thinks about us anyway?

Oh, I see

He’s going to follow a long line of good pitchers, and join the Padres at the end of his career. You know, so we can watch his whole start before we leave in the 6th.

It’s the least he could do for the hometown fans.
