Game Review, 4/29: Padres 5, D-Backs 4

Unfortunately, since my computer's out of commission, I won't be able to get the photos up until Monday. But oh they're good. They're good because the game was crazy.


Highlights:


  • Jon going for a foul ball. Ending up with his face in the dirt as overzealous foul ball guys all converge at the same time. "That ball's MINE!"

  • Jon coming up after going for said foul ball with old school WWF headwound. After I was done sarcastically nodding and rolling my eyes at the other guy who ended up with the ball (he was seriously crazy about getting foul balls), I looked over at Jon and saw blood streaming down his forehead. INTENSE. That's called sacrifice, boys and girls. That's called laying it all out on the field... literally.

  • Anna Kournikova with the 12-6 curve for literally, a first pitch strike. And from the rubber no less. That's called locating your pitch, Trevor. Yeah, I'm talking to you, Hoffman. Peavy's getting Cy Young votes this year and ain't no jealous, over the hill closer gonna sabotage him.


I'm a little bit exhausted. But here's what I learned. Also in bullet points:

  • Phil Nevin is clutch.

  • Jon is willing to bleed from the head if it means a chance at getting a foul ball.

  • My wife's cousin Sara pervs big time for Adam Hyzdu. Big time. Seriously Sara, it's true. You're a perv. Normal people don't look at dudes like that. Even with Big League Hair.


Photos to look forward to: Anna Kournikova. Randy Jones pork sandwich. Jerry Coleman during pregame show. Jon eating fish and chips. Jon eating a Randy Jones beef sandwich. Jon eating dirt. Jon's bloody forehead.


And much, much more! But it'll have to wait till Monday. Jbox will be posting the open game threads for the weekend.


So seepy. Where's my banky. Seepy. Need banky.

Game on!
Okay I'm here.  jbox in da house.  I got the game on.  I'm working off an ancient lap top.  It is so incredibly slow.  I'm not joking when I say that it took 2 innings to boot up.  I've been sitting here forever.  Slow computers drive me nuts.  

We got a score of zeros.  Arizona got a lead off double again.

I guess there is a Jerry Coleman event, more info at  sdpressclub.com.  Lemme take a look here.

Oh it's 50 bucks, hmm worth it?  Mark Grant is the MC.

Burroughs
squib single.  Estes makes a poor running throw to first.  Swinging bunt works.  Dex is the master of those.

Then he goes on about how he thinks the team could win the division.  This must be pre recorded, like 3 months ago.

Nice play by Burroughs
Backhands the ball running towards home plate.  Throws across his body.  Got him!  Nice.

I'm reading an old article about...
Mayor Murphy being bullied by Lucchino and it has Pad Squad connections. Hmmm this is very interesting.  I'll post the article in a few.

Grant and Vaz
Talking about how hard it is to catch a 15 inning game.  I agree it's hard.  But I would think it would be much harder to play most other sports.  Where you have to run or somehting.  Of course I haven't played catcher more then a couple innings.  What do I know.

Burroughs Home Run!
Good night now!  1st home run of the year.  Burroughs is back!

Burroughs is back?
Where the heck was he? Did he even leave?


The last time he turned on a fastball like that was little league world series.
