Open Thread, 6/20: Padres vs Orioles... VLOG STYLE!!

Kinghippo_tiny by Dex on in News

This time, I tried to look more relaxed and tell a funny story. My head didn't look so fat, but you can see how weird my teeth are. Also, I forgot to mention the pitching matchup again, what with Geronimo going for us tonight. Sorry.

GO PADRES!!! EXPERIENCE IT!!!

Dex & the Vlog
Attempt #2 was much better...much more relaxed. (I did miss the little clap, though.) Maybe an acting class would improve your future performances?

along, they are sitting next to each other in the dugout so i guess they patched it up

MLB.tv question
I bought the package here in San Diego but I will be in New York this weekend. Will MLB.tv black out the Padre games? I thought someone said they do it by billing address and IP address. I really want to be able to watch the Pads/Soxs series!

by Smokinggunsd on Jun 20, 2007 7:14 PM PDT reply actions  

not sure,

Haymaker:
A full body closed fist punch that mimics the action of throwing a baseball. A haymaker uses a person's entire weight to throw the punch, thus, a long windup is needed. And while haymakers are very powerful and may knock out an opponent in one blow, they are slow, predictable, and throw the attacker off balance; only suitable for a last resort. They are mostly seen in movies and are rarely used in actual fighting. Haymakers are frequently used from a mounted position in mixed martial arts as part of the "ground and pound" method.

The response:

Thanks for the interesting question.  Killer whales are very social animals and they get along very well with all of their trainers, so it is quite possible that if the Padre team members were killer whale trainers, the whales would like all of them.

My ten-year-old stepdaughter told me that one
the other day and I couldn't believe I'd never heard it before. I don't know why I laughed so hard for as long as I did. It works better in person and told by a ten-year-old.

I had to read it three times
..then I got it - and now I am giggling. Might have to share that with my 10 year old ;-)

Win the rubber match tomorrow!
My first day game this season, so the boys better pull out a win.

So I decided to check out the O's blog
from last night, 'cause I figured somebody had to enjoy last night's game and that it might be funny, and it mostly was, but I'm beginning to think that the rest of the baseball world doesn't understand our sense of humor.  They came over here, and he's what came after:

[[san diego
anyone else checking out the glog there?

http://www.gaslampball.com/story/2007/6/20/215558/953#commenttop

my favorites so far (all spellings [sic]):

*i think we'll hit this guy. He throws 98, but we'll time it eventually.

*we just need to ware him down, and get to that genorous bullpen.

*Maybe we should just stand there and wait for his arm to tire out.

*Brocail should plunk Guthrie.  Dirty, but would work

*Oh. Yay.

At least it is not a shutout.

(yawn)

*RUSS!  Screw you, Guthrie!! We own your ass!

and my favorite?

*Guthrie:  someone give him a special OB burrito.

what the hell is an "OB burrito?"

[[i think we'll hit this guy????
Are they KIDDING? At least we KNEW we weren't going to do jack against Peavey.

[[i was at the game last night
in full o's colors, it was rough.
most of the fans were alright, but there were some real aholes as well. after bynum got hit twice, they were calling for him to get hit again. most of the guys in our section sounded like the douches over at gaslamp.

by nesloq on Thu Jun 21, 2007 at 12:31:19 AM EDT]]

Since when are we douches?  We're losing to them with a sense of humor, and. . . .  I just don't understand.  -Sigh-

There were some very funny posts over there.  Their shock was hilarious.

I'm sure I'd be bitter
and take exception to everything anyone has to say if my team was looking up at the Devil Rays. I can see why they'd be bothered by our optimism; that became a foriegn concept to them years ago.

I guess that was kind of a douchebag thing for me to say, so maybe nesloq has a point. Sorry, fellow Gaslamp Ballers, for making us all look bad.

I thought your fatal optimism was funny.
It was like you knew it wasn't going to happen, but you couldn't stop believing.  Like a compulsion.  That, and why quit believing when it's baseball and anything could happen?

Don't apologize - there was nothing douchey about it.  And this is a safe zone for Padre optimism, right?

The Third Giles...
I'll say it again:

"Third Giles, this is a safe place. A place where we can feel free sharing our feelings. Think of Gaslamp Ball as a nest in a tree of trust and understanding. We can say anything here."

Gaslamp Ball.....
The reason this place works so well is because just about every GLBer has a great sense of humor. It starts at the top with Dex and jbox...and just rolls down from there. I find it funny they made no mention of dolphin porn or dolphin molestation. How do these other blogs take us seriously?? We're all f*cking nuts.

What about the night before when we were beating them senseless and talking about how we felt sorry for their situation? F*** them. I hope they lose every game they play. $95 million dollar payroll? Pathetic.

Now that's a comment they can complain about
and it was still funny.

This place would suck if we weren't always laughing.  They don't mention that we think our SS is a robot either.

BTW - the manatee porn may have changed me in ways I never expected.  I can't stop looking.

I can empathize with O's fans
I've endured some pretty crappy years by the Padres. But the jackasses that think the whole world should be downcast and treading lightly just because their life (or in this case, team) sucks get nothing from me. I encounter people like this in real life; they're all depressed and pathetic and want everyone to feel sorry for them so they act like you're a dick for not moping along with them. I enjoy life and I enjoy the Padres. If your life and/ or your team sucks, sorry about your luck, buddy; I'm here to experience it.

Clearly they did not see my list
describing all that we are. I am pretty sure that serious sticks in the mud was not one of them!

That's pretty funny
I think one blog that would "get us" is Royals Review.  They are really hilarious - kind of dorky and demented - like we are.  I don't have much interest in the Royals, but their game threads are very, very funny.
