Who’s the home team in China?
I think the Padres are home tonight, and Dodgers are home on Saturday.
2: Nice. So much for watching this game on network TV in LA. It’s the 10 o’clock news instead.
Whoa, that is not a good looking field.
They ever gonna get this thing underway?
Strike one from Germano. And away we go.
Matt & Mud are in rare form. It’s like watching MST3K.
KCAL decided to drop the feed at the last minute. I hate living outside of SD County – and only 5 miles from the county line at that. At least I overpay for MLB.TV…
It’s not on gameday audio?!?
8: Stupid ass KCAL.
I love they saved that first pitch. Is that first pitch the closest anyone other than Trevor and Torre ever get to the HOF?
never mind, I found it. You have to look under the sat games.
This coverage is friggin’ hilarious. Sorry to those who can’t watch on 4SD.
12: Damn, I’ve got it muted right now. Watching Obama on Countdown from earlier today trumps first MLB game in China.
Robles taps weakly back to the mound. Big roar from the crowd. WTF?
I wonder what they think about Led Zepp playing as Kouz came to the plate.
At least the spectators know to go after the foul ball.
“Kashmir” plays on the PA before Kouz comes to bat. I’m thinking you don’t hear a lot of Zeppelin in China.
Kouz strikes out.
Boo. Kouz with the first K ever in China.
GY, are you still over in Peoria? And who won the state-side game tonight?
This coverage reminds me of watching games as a kid in the early ’70s. Crappy color and only a couple of cameras. LOL
Hairston stays with a tough ball off the bat of Andruw.
This commentary, as others have pointed out, is worth the price of admission alone.
I guess KCAL dying isn’t the worst thing, at least I get the lyrical stylings of Matt and Mud…
And a 15-year minor leaguer with the first hit in the ballgame. Whatever.
#19: No, I’m back in SD. Don’t know who won the stateside game.
Dear Padres,
Please don’t embarass yourself in another country.
Your pal, and devoted fan,
Robby
Nice
Heads-up play by Hundley.
24:I’m pretty sure we lost.
Nice play by Hundley, even better confusion by Matt & Mud.
The random cheering is pretty hilarious.
cheerleaders??
haha
Matt speaks for us all: “Cheerleaders, yes!”
#29: I wonder how they will react to a home run?
Cheerleaders!
“Cheerleaders!!! Yes!!!”
Matty V. never fails to amaze me…
OMG, cheerleaders.
This is pretty ridiculous, and highly entertaining.
Hu with the first error ever in China!
McFly
#37: Hu made the error?
And Venable strands the runner. Chan Ho looks pretty good, all things considered…
Classic CBS Sports (circa 1972) with the camera behind the netting. #36, very entertaining.
#41: It’s like Wide World of Sports. We just need the guy who totally eats it on the ski jump.
George Lombard goes yard. A nation erupts.
And it’s the groundball derby…
George Lombard? WTF???
#43 and splits the smog.
How bout a replay?
How bout a Fresca?
I can’t tell. Is that Joe West behind the plate?
With that air quality, the Dodgers should feel right at home (no offense GY).
48. I can’t find a gameday or a live box. Anyone?
50: No help here, I’m watching SD4.
I wonder how long Buddy will let Germano go…
Man, I wish I could watch this one. Reading through this thread … it sounds quite hilarious.
How the hell does Germano strike out three people in a row? I know its ST, but come on, its Justin Germano.
54. He’s got the hook working tonight, and he’s getting the minor leaguers to chase it. That doesn’t explain Andruw or Kemp…maybe they just suck at life.
Cheerleaders again! Woot!
55: Good call.
#50: Searching, not finding…
Robby, I can lend you my daughter’s old pom-poms from high school.
they have a box score on mlb.com but its listed as a 3/15 game because its 2 in ET
Robby, I can lend you my daughter’s old pom-poms from high school.
61: I’m not sure how much use I would have for them, but you are always more than welcome to make the donation.
60. I looked there on the scoreboard page and it did not have a link or an updated linescore.
A-HA! It’s up not. Ted Barrett is behind the plate.
63. *now
I’m an idiot.
#60: Ah, good work. Here’s the box:
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/boxscore.jsp?gid=2008_03_15_lanmlb_sdnmlb_1
50: go look at the Sat scoreboard to listen to this game on gameday audio
Wow! That’s was so little league.
Padres score on a bad throw from catcher back to pitcher. Yeah, good luck explaining that to fans in China.
Wow. Way to impress them with top-notch baseball guys.
Oops! May shanked the throw. Shades of K-Rod in Oakland.
All square at 1.
#63: Thanks Bryan.
Just like Rube Baker in Major League 2.
71. Thank Ian C., he found the box.
Don’t mind my late comments…looks like .TV is at least 15 seconds behind you guys.
#72: Yeah, he should memorize the “Girls of Sptitzer” up-coming Playboy Edition! LOL.
OT: Jim Wolf umpired the 7PM game today, the first time he’s been behind the plate with brother Randy on the hill:

Come on Justin, settle down here. Get that ground ball.
I admire Joe Torre for thumbing his nose at Geo. Steinbrenner.
Bases loaded, no outs, not a good thing.
Nice sequence to Lombard there.
79. Word. Needs to do that again here.
Nice DP to get out of that one!
nice way to get out of that jam
That worked out well. Line-drive double play to end the inning with a zero on the board.
Nice DP! Justin gets (bailed) out of it.
Nice work, Justin.
Anybody else taking advantage of the ‘Business Man’s’ specials this season? I’ve scheduled my vacation days for them. 2 for 1 tix, nice.
86: “Business Man’s Special”. That sounds like it should involve some Spitzer treatment.
CHP’s been looking good all spring
86. If only I didn’t have class on Thursdays…I might bail out, I never learn anything in college anyway.
Same old Padres; even the minor leaguers aren’t hitting.
I’m taking my father to the first one on the 3rd. Paid $47 for two Toyota Terrace 3rd base side. I get 3 weeks vac. a year and I think I’ve already devoted half of that to Padre games
.
91: That’s a good call, sir.
I understand the sacrifice of vacation for baseball. I’ll be supporting our boys in both Seattle and Arizona this year.
43 … Not many Eugene Emeralds actually make it to play in MLB … I moved to Oregon in late ‘94, so the ‘95 Ems were my first chance to watch Short-Season A-ball … the star of that team? George Lombard (it was a Braves farm team at the time) … just so you know …
http://thebaseballcube.com/players/L/George-Lombard.shtml
There’s my answer; Zarate in to start the 6th.
Kemp gave that a ride.
Fly ball pitchers do well at Petco.
92. I feel that too. We did San Fran and Arizona last year, as well as the obligatory games in LA…we’re going up to see the Pads in the Giants’ home opener again this year, and I’m sure we’ll make it to Phoenix again this summer. Would be nice to go further out, but a student budget only allows so much when you try to hit 30 games a year…
#97: This is a quagmier. I have the means, but lack the time and you have the time and lack the means. There has to be a happy median somewhere.
Kouz needs to lay off of shit like that. We don’t need him hurt.
Dodgers, still classless.
Ugly rundown. 2-1 LA. I think I’m about done here…been up since 5AM…
what happened?
100. Word. That was unnecessary.
Got him under that pitch. Zarate lucky to get out of that inning with just the 1 run.
102: Ball hit to CF with men on 1st and 2nd. Pitcher cut the ball coming in from CF and went to third to trap the guy in a rundown. Kouz has him dead to rights and guy ducks down, causing Kouz to barrell roll over him.
The Padres have a manger in this game as well. Love it.
I love the utter disdain Matty has for this concept. It’s just brilliant.
106 … manger?
108: I’m several pittchers of Leninkugels in. Some slack please, monsieur.
Mudcat imitating Hawk Harrelson. Priceless.
You can put it on the boooooooard…YES!!!
OK guys, I’m over it. Gotta get up early and bounce down to San Marcos to work on a school project. Good night, and go minor league-type Padres! Except that Trev just came in, so go minor leaguers + Trev…
#105: Slight correction: Adrian actually took the throw from the outfield.
112: Doh. Hard to make out these things without the benefit of replay.
Mud with the nice Ross Porter. He’s doing it all.
I wish the MLB would keep the uniforms consistant for at least two years. My wife feels the need to buy me the correct jacket for every season. I just got the 2K8 jacket and it’s not that much different from last years. Thank God for baseball loving wives! LOL.
Glad to see Scott H. doing so well. Hope he stays injury free.
Adriaaaaaan!!!!!!!!
How did Hairston look in CF?
Seems kinda fitting that China gets a Bud-Selig-special (ie. a tie) for its first game
OT … updates on 2 former Padres at this article …
