Open Thread: 9/9, Padres vs. Rockies Chargers vs. Bears

[editor's note, by Dex] This isn't the Padres Open Thread. Come September, Jonny Dub completely abandons the Padres. This is like some weird ambush ad for his blog.

Doesn't look like anyone is here.  Not that you could blame anyone for ignoring the Padres today.  I feel sorry for MLB.  This has got to be the worst.  Why does MLB even have games today?  Nobody's watching.  Nobody's going to the games.  Everyone is watching FOOTBALL!

If you must watch baseball today, you'll have to have picture in picture.  It's the only way you could possibly watch it.  Anyway, Chris Young is going to give it one more shot in Colorado for today's rubber match.  Hopefully CY can return to his old self, it's the only way we are going to have success in the post-season.

Now if you really want to comment on an Open Thread, I set one up at Boltz4Eva:

Go Chargers!  Experience It!

Pssh
Football is easily the most over-rated sport in America. I hate the fact that everybody in San Diego acts like the Chargers are such a better franchise than the Padres. I love it that the Chargers got bounceed first round last year. For everybody in the city that talks trash about the Padres in comparison to the Chargers, both teams have been just as successful in the playoffs the last two times they've made it.

I don't think there will be a problem with viewership today. The Padres are in the midst of a playoff push and the Chargers will likely disappoint today. I could be wrong, but I doubt I will be.

Play nice.  I'm not huge on football (though the nike commercials are trying their best to get me interested), but there's no need to whip out the "mine's bigger than yours" talk.  Love SD, love the teams, love the Padres!

Swelling.
Do you know how hard it is to carry law school books, a laptop, lunch, and caffeinated beverage while walking on crutches?  I'm gonna kill myself on these things!

You need to buy a Rascal.
Or have a man-servant follow you around.

Volunteering?
I could totally use a man-servant/personal assistant.

I miss San Diego
every day, but I've never liked the Chargers. Used to be a huge Dolphins fan while Marino was playing, but when he retired, my interest in football pretty much waned.

Football can be entertaining to watch, but it can also be painfully slow. Love baseball games like yesterday's affair.

Let's go Pads! Pick up a game on the Snakes!

One thing I've never understood
is how a "60 minute" game can last three-and-a-half hours...?

Baseball Time
How much time is there actual play in a baseball game?  I think football moves a lot faster (and could even faster if not for all the ads).

Lets move this to the front
I'm the only one on Johnny Dub's Blog. I know a bunch of you are watching.

Thanks sdsuaztec4

Anyone here?
Dex, I know you are around. I picked up Corruption last night. It is an awesome game.

Man, I gotta check that out
Maybe I'll just rent. It's tough to justify $50 at time on videogames.
