Sometimes you get insight here at Ducksnorts; other times, you get whatever the heck this is. Go Padres!
For whom the bell tolls, my friends… for whom the bell tolls.. I can hardly wait to see a shot of Bochy when Hells Bells comes on…
I just love watching Adrian Gonzales swing the bat…
Yo, Adrian!!!
Brian has hit the ball hard all night. No luck.
come on a little breathing room for Hoffy
356: would be nice Sue… although we’re past juice box in the lineup…
How often does Bonds K on three pitches? I would assume infrequently.
C’mon Mike… a little Allstate would be nice.
Trevor Time!
ok … we all stand for the bells …….
i’m not ashamed to admit that I still get goosebumps when i hear the bells start…
Bochy’s nightmare… Bells. It must be truly surreal for him.
all smilles and goose bumps here ….. our first bells of the year
for some reason I’m feeling a little playoff atmosphere. might be because Cla made Bonds look as bad as he did Pujols last Sept.
Steve, I admire your appreciation for your own analogies
Me too, Mark…I was there the day the rang for the first time. I’ve been there many times to hear them and it still shivers my spine. It’s just awesome.
I was at the first game they played that. Saturday Brewers double-header at the Q (or was it still the Murph?).
I was at that first game too….Saturday afternoon game against Houston if i remember right…tied the consecutive saves record that day
Nice of Durham to help out swinging at the first pitch.

Holy crap, that guy’s slow.
c’mon Trevor….5:30am comes early in the morning…
He looked like he was running under water.
slower than Adrian even..
I have to look it up…but my memory actually is that it was against the Astros in 98.
Sheesh, I gotta get up at 4:15am.
