Open Thread, 3/7: Padres vs Diamondbacks

by Dex on Mar 7, 2008 11:54 AM PST in News

Chris Young faces the Snakes, who we hate. We're so angry at the Diamondbacks right now. We need that fire to burn and to lead us to victory (and some promising looks at our young talent).

FIRED UP!
FIRED UP!
Fired uuup and uuup and upandupandup.

Down with the D-bags!

Let's do this. Could we also drill Eric Byrnes? Just for good measure?

by Phantom on Mar 7, 2008 12:06 PM PST reply actions

I think that's a given

For stealing away one of our Pad Squadders.

by Dex on Mar 7, 2008 12:07 PM PST up reply actions

Pad Squadders be damned

The guy is just a freakin tool.

And he absuses dogs.

Dick.

And he stole a sexy Pad Squadder!!!

by Dex on Mar 7, 2008 12:12 PM PST up reply actions

Sexy?

Remember that D-Backs?

Oh wait, you wouldn't. You never gave the guy a chance.

Nice work Shrek.

by Phantom on Mar 7, 2008 12:16 PM PST reply actions

This is what I was hoping for

It's all working according to plan. Perrrrrrrfect.

by Dex on Mar 7, 2008 12:23 PM PST up reply actions

Quiet in here today.

It's the D-Backs. I expect more vitriol.

by Phantom on Mar 7, 2008 12:22 PM PST reply actions

Yea.

I'm not buying mlb.tv until the season starts, and I can't find a way to get the game through gameday. As it is, I'm relying on you guys for updates.

by TheGrandHatching on Mar 7, 2008 12:27 PM PST up reply actions

1-0 Padres

After 1.5 innings.

by Phantom on Mar 7, 2008 12:29 PM PST up reply actions

Any word from the MRI?

Haven't heard anything

but why would you MRI a calf muscle? sounds kinda fishy.

Free Willits!

MRI results be damned. Get Willits. Get him now.

I was KT. I wish we would get that guy.

How great would it be

to have:

Willits
Antonelli
Kouz

next year. That would be one hell of a 1 - 3.

by Phantom on Mar 7, 2008 1:16 PM PST up reply actions

They sent CY

Why did Glen Hoffman send CY home for a play at the plate... this is spring training right?

Byrnes = AIDSy

I think I might be moving Byrnes into my top 5 least favorite players. Between the Pad Sqaud incident, playing for the D-backs, and his atrocious kayaking at the All Star Game, I've got all the reason I need.

I love day games

I like coming back after lunch and being able to listen to some baseball. It makes me sleepy too.

Thanks for the gameday link!

Yeah, it's slow, but I can't listen today so at least it is some kind of life line!
