Ladies and gentlemen, the people have spoken. It is their will that Boston’s “More Than a Feeling” shall be the cheesy ’70s song to lead the Padres onward in their quest for supremacy in the NL West, Major League Baseball, and the known universe. May the memory of Brad Delp serve them well along the way and carry them toward their ultimate goal…

  1. Brandon Webb is ridiculous. He’s got 40 shutout innings in a row and is working on getting to 42 by the end of the game. 93 pitches, two outs in the eighth.

  2. Woody Williams is at the end of his career (love ya Woody). Let’s keep the runs coming. Let’s raise some averages and most of all win.

  3. GY, I think that Boston song is lame for baseball (I like Boston). We need a song that rocks!

  4. My wife would have called that one a ‘corn on the cob.’

  5. Jake’s lips read: “God, that makes me mad!”

  6. Jake is dealing tonight, but he’s not pitching efficiently enough.

    When Quis started talking about Zambrano’s new contract – 5 yrs, $91M – I again thought about how hard it’s going to be to resign Jake. That’s not going to be a fun negotiation.

  7. Damn, he got ALL of that.

  8. At least the umps saw Cammy catch that one!

  9. Do our announcers have college educations? They are removing all doubt every time they open their mouths.

  10. At least we are back to square one.

  11. 9: are you talking about the periodical table of contents

  12. #11: No, their knowledge of light speed and distance.

  13. Or, lack thereof.

  14. If Cammy gets hit, best be in the ass. Hurts less.

  15. 9 – they are, um, passionate for the game. It’s best that we not ask them for much more than that :)

  16. #15: At least Matty V. comes off as being somewhat educated beyond baseball.

  17. Does anybody know if Jake is in contention for this year’s CY Young Award? Or, who else would be even close?

  18. Woody has that look on his face like: “Shit, I’m gonna be the 3rd out again.”

  19. 11 strikeouts is good
