Sometimes you get insight here at Ducksnorts; other times, you get whatever the heck this is. Go Padres!
‘Bout time they put a RJ BBQ on the Toyota Terrace.
Sue–yes. Me. Boston. Sorry if I wasn’t clear! It’s late out here. ^_~
Ok…now i’m hungry for some RJ barbeque….
#101 – Darn straight! I know where I’m eating tomorrow night!
Hey .. Kelly you are up late …
I wish i was going tomorrow night..
Hey Ducksnorters, you should check out Ch. 4 Padres. They’ve got a great broadcasting team.
(trying to return the favor)
The Girls say hello .. they are at the game .. I am at home

Okay – quick question: HOW MANY OF US ARE THERE IN BOSTON?
So… no-hitter through three for Cain…
111: That’s right. Cannot stress this enough. NO-HITTER. NO-HITTER. There is currently a no-hitter in progress.
109: Great news! I know this is a stretch, but I really feel like KT is taking a page out of AJ Smith’s book and starting to sign his young studs to long term contracts before he has to. Of course, KT hasn’t really had many young stars before this….
So you guys are saying he has a no hitter?
It’ll be a while before I get to a game in person–probably not before June. Tough weekend schedules; Pittsburgh is midweek. Ah well. Sorry you’re not with the girls!
I am glad to get the home broadcast, though I could do without being tempted by barbecue this late!
112: Exactly. No-Hitter, everybody. Turn on the game, there’s a no-hitter going.
110: Seems like three of us now.
Maybe we can all find a sports bar one of the days we’re on ESPN.
110: Do I have to wave here, or am I already on record?
Sunday night is an ESPN game I believe…
Yes .. I can smell the BBQ … I will see the girls on Wed and going to see Phil Nevin on Thurs … since the Padres are out of town
KG – Think the opposite way. Live the opposite way. HIT THE OPPOSITE WAY!
Matt Cain is better than Aaron Cook, but c’mon.
Why does this feel like deja vu all over again? It’s not unsporting to score some runs guys…
come on KG
117: I agree. In fact, I think we can find a bar that simply has MLB extra innings. Where in Boston are you located?
122: This is much different than yesterday. The Padres have hit several balls well, have had 4 guys on base, and have actually made Cain throw some pitches.
Still, Cain does have the no-hitter.
Yes he has a no hitter….but we’ve hit some balls hard….and he still has a no hitter
124: I’m in Arlington, but I work at BU, right in Kenmore Square. Where are you folks?
Ok…if this keeps up..we all need to change seats..
At least KG made him work for it.
Did Ray Durham just smack his lips at Cameron?!
127: I’m in cambridge, going to HBS.. not to far from you. Steve?
Mark .. I just moved to the other side on the couch
I changed seats as well…
OUCH!!!
ouch …..!!!!!
Ouch.
my elbow hurts from that…
Aw man… this hazing the rookie thing’s gotta go. I really feel for Kouz. I hope he knows us fans have all the patience in the world with him.
124: I live in Winthrop
Crudge time. Make it happen.
ahhh, that hurts. Like Marks saying, the more bone it hits the more it feels like it rattled your teeth. It hurts…at least it’s San Diego. Getting hit like that during a night game in early April in Cleveland? OUCH!
Just another reason to be glad you’re here, Kouz…
No hitter…cain has a no hitter
Ok..not enough people changed seats to break the jinx…
74 pitches for Cain …. keep those pitches comin .. get tot he bull pen
Yeah, at least we don’t get “snowed out.”
Good lord. C’mon, sacrifice a live chicken in the dugout, do something!
No-hitter, no-hitter, no-hitter!
5 runners have reached base. I was at a no-hitter like this…
145: Yeah, like President Palmer in Major League.
got see if the Giant broadcasters are saying no hitter … Matty just said it … I could move seats again ….
I remember a no hitter at the Murph were the guys walked like 5 but still no hit us
way to go Josh
Changed t-shirts from “Padres 2006 NL West Champs” to “Padres retro 1969 throwback”.
I have high hopes.
and I’m one of the newbies drawn in by the promo. Nice site!
