You asked for ‘em, here they are. The wave has been irritating me for years and it reached a head a couple of weeks ago when the Dodgers were in town. People tried to get the wave going late in a tie game. Thankfully it didn’t catch. But the attempt inspired me to make some buttons. Then reader Steve asked if there would be T-shirts. I told him to give me a few days, but last night, in the eighth inning of a 4-4 game against the Giants, the wave actually happened. I know to a lot of folks, it seems like innocent fun, and maybe it is — in the right situation. But why do the instigators insist on waiting until a critical time in a critical game to get started? A Giants’ win would have tied them with the Padres for first in the NL West.
Anyway. T-shirts are here. Go get ‘em:
Awsome GY I already ordered mine!
How did the Pizza Feed Go?
yeah what happened at the pizza feed? some of us were thousands of miles away and unable to make it..
I’m also surprised BP people did this this weekend considering that Seattle is the spot of the SABR convention this week.
Pizza Feed was outstanding. More later, but Gaslamp Ball has a quick rundown up now. Good point about the SABR convention; totally forgot about that.

I want to go to that convention whereever it is next year, and also sign up for SABR.. damn them and their subscription rules only let you sign up for full year starting jan 1.
” It’s no secret the Padres are looking for a third basemen. The Pads had a chance at getting somebody but it would have cost them Linebrink. They nixed the deal.”
Interesting stuff from Gaslamp ball. you wonder who that 3Bman could be that would merit that value.
Also want to mention Josh Bard getting the start
Josh Bard: interesting splits
count 0-0 10for16 (.625/.625/1.125) 14 R 2HR 4RBI 2-2B
day 24 for 58 (.414/.485/.655) 9R 3HR 10RBI 5-2B
just to mention it.. I saw it on the splits and I thought that was interesting. I hope we hang onto Bard after this year, he is a very servicable catcher.
