Sometimes you get insight here at Ducksnorts; other times, you get whatever the heck this is. Go Padres!
great play by OG
where was the camera looking …..
Rick S., the thing that bothers me about that is that sometimes he DOES get pitched to…reference that 2-0 pitch. Bonds has a minimum of one pitch an at bat that would be a strike to anybody else.
Nice job by OG.
Great bead on that ball by OG.
wow, great catch from superglow.. that’s the way to orange it!
Ok..now lets get some hits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This clown has a NO HITTER
206 – he caught in his tan-tor beam
True. I just hate the fact that he is chasing the home run record having done it on steroids. I can’t stand that guy.
For the new blood:
Brian = Orange Giles = OG
Marcus = Non Orange Giles = NOG
208: nice. I love it. I have to assume that’s the same “beam” that’s turning his hair blonde….
Hey Geoff – there’s a contest tailor-made for the DS community! I vote the “Got NOG” t-shirt.
good call Rich….i’m sure that is pretty confusing for the new folks around here
thanks .. Rich …. I was sratching my brain
But that’s a strike? Wally Bell should be ashamed of himself.
WHAT??!!
way outside…obviously Wally Bell wants to umpire a no hitter
Bard’s SO: W T F?!?
215: And by ashamed of himself, I mean fired.
that ball was carrying a 760 area code it was so far off the plate
#217 – I think you’re on to something
210, got it thanks!
Oh nice call, blue.
good grief charlie brown….
time for the random “cameron dinger”…
98 pitches for Cain.
come on now Pads …. this is no way to play ball …..
OK, the “Cameron’s Crazies” thing needs to die a swift death. No need to be associating with that farce in Durham…
unfortunately, he was thinking the same thing….
Richard with the key point…no way Cain goes another three innings unless he gets help from the Padres…even Wally Bell won’t get him there without it.
227: Damn straight. Go heels!
Cammy has looked BAD the last few games. Really hacking away up there.
Why does it feel like we’re losing this game?
Crap. Ground rule double.
232: Because we’re about to be?
#232 – because they haven’t gotten one dang hit yet
if we don’t make feliz chase bad pitches this at-bat, then we’re making a major mistake…
I know..i keep looking up and seeing the score 0-0 and i’m surprised…
You have to like the grounder keeping the runner at second.
I’m too used to Cammy getting to every single ball out there. OK Bud, this is why we have a solid bullpen…
238: Cut the run expectancy in half.
My wife thinks Greene needs a makeover.
0-2 CY…finish him off..
Believe it! Strike 3.
just like that….very nice..
Steeeeericke 3!
Bochy doesn’t like the small ball so no bunt …
way to go CY !!!!!
Did you see the swoop on that ball….that was a sweet pitch!
Cain batting for himself. Very “interesting” decision.
dude has a no hitter…can’t pull him now…
gona leave Cain in … or just not wanting to double switch ….
YEAH CY
Strikeout #5. Aren’t you glad Bochy manages a division rival? I know I am.
