Brian Giles is a very sensual kisser

by Dex on Sep 29, 2005 8:30 AM PDT in News

One thing I had forgotten that reader tfast so kindly reminded me of was the kiss that Brian Giles gave Ramon Hernandez last night. If you missed it, Ramon was getting interviewed by John Weisbarth and during the interview, Brian Giles, wet with champagne, walked over to Ramon and gave him the most tender kiss on the cheek I have ever seen. Then he caressed Ramon's other cheek with his hand before wandering off again.

I kid you not when I say that I have not seen mothers kiss their babies as tenderly as that. It was more sensual a kiss than I've seen at weddings. His lips put Angelina Jolie to shame.

When guys kiss other guys out of happiness, it's usually a huge smooch. Nothing tender or caring about it. It's played up for laughs.

When Giles kissed Ramon last night, it was like after an evening of wine, veal and sweet lovemaking. I am not even joking. It was a kiss that said, "You give me 15 minutes and there will be more where that came from."

All I know is if that's what Gilly gives out when we clinch a division, the boys in the locker room better carry protection if they win anything else. I don't want any impregnated Padres during the off season thanks to loverboy.

The Gay

I knew it! I always knew Giles was the gay!

Coors Light

I also like the fact that Giles goes straight for the Silver Bullet when there was still plenty of Champaign left. Gotta love East County.

Pictures!? You know, I might kiss Giles too. He's been the ANCHOR all year and for that he is my favorite Padre.

Man I need to find pictures

It was such a shocker though. A shocker and very creepy.

Fick

Man I was lovin' that dude last night. 15 minutes after they win, he's drunk off his ass. Swearing in the microphone. Breaking out some real expensive booze. Wearing the goggles, apparently he played the whole game with them in his back pocket. This guy could be my favorite Padre. The best part is when Jerry Coleman walks in and Fick pours a beer all over him. Jerry just turns around and walks out.

That was classic.

Do you think that when they do the DVD of the season they will have the entire post game celebration on it? I hope so. I wonder if they will replay the game and today with the after game celebration. SO one really should tape it if they can. However I am sure it will be edited to "G" viewing.

Do you think Jerry was pissed? He kind of sort of seemed like it. I will need to bring my headphones to the game tonight so I can listen to the radio. I am sure Teddy will bring it up.

How 'bout Sweeney?

Grabbing a camera from a camera man (I guess that part sorta went without saying) and jumping on top of the dugout, filming the crowd.

Lots of great pictures here:

The one of the whole team on the mound is just beautiful.

i knew Fick was a drunk

Fick was giving tequilla shots to everyone, gooood tequila too, patron anejo. It was funny to see who was up for drinking and who wussed out.

by mato on Sep 29, 2005 9:09 AM PDT reply actions

i bet

he was drunk before the game was over.

anyone notice breslow (or was it hensley?) chugging the patron?

by garth on Sep 29, 2005 9:54 AM PDT up reply actions

I think it was Hensley

That guy was drinking non-stop. What a night for all the rookies who had no idea they would be here back in April and May when they were in Triple A!

i know

they showed Johnson, McAnulty, Oxspring, Hensley and Breslow. it's too bad some of the other fellows didn't make it. I'm stoked for Olivo too, he delivered some important hits. it's easy to forget they had to make it through hurt frontline pitchers, hurt frontline players, and scrambling management...but they still pulled it.

how sweet it is!

No Doubt!

I love Ficky. He is the greatest. That boy is a party anilmal. He was livin it up last night. I am going tonight to the game so am interested to see how the team is the day after. Ficky probally has a wicked hang over. You have to give the guy props with the goggles though. He might be crazy but he ain't stupid. I am sure we will see more goggles after we clinch the NLDS.

Good Game

I went last night and had a great time. I even got on the jumbo-tron. This kid next to me really wanted to get on the j-tron. As luck would have it they did that smile cam thing right by us and after they were done we got the camera man to shoot the kid. He was so stolked he shared his red vines with me. Good kid.

I also thought that standing O for Astacio was pretty touching. He seemed kinda bummed to be taken out but the crowd really appreciated the effort and gave him some big props.

Also a note about the Nachos at the Petco. If you order the regular nachos they won't put the cheese on top for you. You have to order a "Super" nachos to get the cheese on top. WTF is up with that? Ok, yes, the super nachos are indeed "Super" but it is way too much food. If you want the regular size you basically get chips and cheese on the side. I think any court of law would uphold the landmark Kraft vs. Frito Lay decision that states chips without cheese on top and in between the chips cannot be called nachos. Case Closed!

Astacio performance very moving

I agree that that standing ovation for Pedro was very touching. I actually got tears in my eyes. He's one of those guys who people haven't talked about much...not a Peavy or Hoffman or Linebrink...and it was really nice to see that people noticed his awesome performance out there. His last few starts in fact have been unbelievable. Friday, for example, in Arizona is the the only game we won there with and with him on the mound. He's earned that starting spot for sure. And to think he was a minor league free agent!! Great job Towers on that pickup!!

Happy all of a sudden

Does clinching really change anything that you guys have been complaining about all season?

Still a .500 ball club that just happens to be the best of the worst.

what a load.

no, we're the WORST OF THE BEST, dude.

nice dark cloud. do you go to birthday parties too? I needed to remind someone they were a year closer to death.

Now that we've clinched...

Are you trying to psyche us out because your Cardinals are in a little funk right now? Padres are about to hit the ground running yo!

To answer your question though, it does change things. If we asked the Padres, "Well what have you done for me lately?" They can answer, "We won the division title in a huge win over the Giants." And we can respond, "Oh. Well that's pretty sick."

by Dex on Sep 29, 2005 10:41 AM PDT up reply actions

also:

who cares? I answered that question as soon as the last out got squeezed baby. i couldn't give a rats ass if they had 4 wins and everyone else in the division had three. they are one of 8 teams IN, not out. The Giants? OUT. The Dodgers? OUT. So, screw the "they're only a 500 team bullshit. hard. with a big freaking rolling pin.

We're in the playoffs, and you gotta deal with us. Whatever happens, happens, but like Ramon said, it's the teams with 100 wins that gotta worry, baby. Not the Padres. They got nothing to lose!

Put your foot on the gas, guys!

Debbie Downer

I'm not trying to rain on your parade at all....and I don't need to psyche you out for the Cards series. LaRussa is scary in the post season. Anything can happen.

I'm just reacting to all the negativity over the past few days (and really weeks) about how this team has been lazy all year and how winning the division doesn't mean anything because of the torture they put you thru all season. Plus, the Pads still have the potential for finishing with a losing record...not exactly what you wanna go down for in the record books.

I understand the jubiliation of clinching something and I'm sure last night was fun. But you gotta wonder about a team that celebrates that much over winning a division that was horrible at best. Are they satisfied with the win? Or do they want more? Will they slump off and be happy with a divisional title or are they hungry for more?

After your initial happiness and excitement, are you really that satisfied with this team? If you say yes, then I think you're ignoring all the other posts on this board all season long.

I think the feeling could be better summed up with, thank God we clinched...now there's no way this team can f up and miss the playoffs as they were in danger of doing all season long. Not a sense of accomplishment like you should be feeling.

the way they clinched

I think the way they clinched had a lot to do with it. They actually had offense and they weren't sloppy or lazy, they didn't leave many on base. It was like old times. It was just a good game and reason enough to celebrate. The season is still a mess, but at this point we needed something to cheer about.

by jbox on Sep 29, 2005 11:19 AM PDT up reply actions

I know what you mean

However, I can sum it up really easy: The ends justify the means.

I don't usually say that, but in this case it's true. The kitchen is a mess. They broke like 3 plates doing it. The oven is on fire. But I got me some tasty cake. And I'm gonna eat it too.

Love your analogies Dex!

They always crack me up. I do the same thing and people think I'm a freak. I'll try to come up with some myself down the road.

Metaphor time

Let's say it's like getting punched in the jock. It hurt, and you may have even cried a little. But you go to the doctor, and they tell you that the punch in the jock knocked a tumor that was growing there out, and stopped you from getting testicular cancer, so you celebrate.

Yeah. This was a roller coaster of a season, full of jock punches that ended up really, really good. And hopefully it just gets better from here on out.

That's what we're celebrating. Not the phew! we squeeked in. The possibility of going further, the whole reason this game is played.

I'm not thinking about next year's team, and no longer am I thinking about the season. I'm thinking playoffs, baby, and it's been a long time since that thought was cemented in my head like it is now.

Let's Make It Lovable Winners

People who live in non-playoff cities will pull for the Padres just to see some .500ish team take it to the house against powerhouses like St. Louis, Atlanta, the Yankees, the Yankees 2 (aka Boston), and Anaheim.

This team may not be "98 Good", but if they can get "May Good", this could be the start of something very beautiful and yet humorous.

Go Padres!
