first pitch: 10:35 a.m. PT
television: Channel 4SD
matchup: David Wells (2-3, 4.74 ERA) vs Jason Simontacchi (2-3, 5.28 ERA)
I honestly had no idea Jason Simontacchi was still pitching in the big leagues. That’s okay, some people probably don’t know that David Wells is still pitching…
Chica/o is often used as an adjective to mean small. I have a feeling Bocachica comes from “Small Mouth” and not girl’s mouth. Probably a reference to a bay somewhere, like Boca Raton, Florida is called that ‘cuz it’s a bay that looks like a rat’s mouth. Not to be a stickler, but as the official representative of Padres fans living in Mexico City, I thought I should point that out. Nonetheless, Girl’s Mouth is kind of a fun nickname, so I say go with it.
On to the important business. Good win against a bad team. Now lets keep the momentum going against the Bums in Blue.
