  1. #46@Turbine Dude: Sweet. Always appreciated. :-)

    #48@PM: See #30.

  2. OT: GY, you still planning the Storm/Padre double header DS outing this year?

  3. #52@Turbine Dude: I think they’re planning it for a weekday afternoon this year, so probably not.

  4. As much as I hate the ‘wave’, everytime the Philli fans do it, our batters get a ball call.

  5. The Pads have a mental stigma about having the bases loaded. They couldn’t turn a trick at the Trophy Lounge in National City.

  6. #55@Turbine Dude:

    No sex in the champagne room…

    Oh wait, wrong blog.

  7. I hate check swing calls where the bat passes through the zone and it’s still not called a swing. Mark Grant is dead on about that issue.

  8. #53@Geoff Young: It’s a 2 for 1 day on Aug. 27th (Wed.).

  9. Another great outing for Inman at San Antonio.

  10. WTF? All of these strikes not called?

  11. See, Edmonds CAN catch a fly ball. As long as it is hit right to him or has a 10 second hang time.

  12. Can you see it coming?

  13. #62@LynchMob: Yeah, I can. Unfortunatley.

  14. 0 for 5 for Jimmy Edmonds. He may be on his way out, huh?

  15. In ten more days, Edmunds will be looking up at .100.

  16. Personally, I let Heath Bell bat here and give him first crack at the 9th inning … but that’s must me …

  17. #64@Richard Wade: I don’t think he’ll be involved in any group hugs anytime soon.

  18. #65@Field39: He’s already down to .153 with no power or walks.

  19. So … it’s a coin flip?

  20. #66@LynchMob: The J is right above the M. :)

  21. I like to think Hoffy can keep them to one run or less this inning.

  22. Where exactly did Ball 1 miss?

  23. #73@Richard Wade: It didn’t matter, I guess.

  24. That didn’t look like that bad of a pitch, but it caught too much plate for an 0-2 pitch.

  25. That was a pretty pitch to even the count.

  26. He made Dobbs look bad in that AB. Two swinging strikes at pitches out of the zone. One called strike on a pitch in the zone.

  27. Can of corn to win the game.

  28. For tonight, I was wrong … YES!

  29. Game over. Padres win. Hoffy looked good.

  30. #81@Geoff Young: I wish he would retire gracefully and become the Padres pitching coach. Just my feelings.

  31. Today’s your last chance to put a stake in the sand with respect to your expectations for Trevor for the month of May …

    http://www.predictify.com/auctionview.aspx?ID=3873

    In this forum, there are currently 102 responses with 16% predicting Trevor to have >80% success in May vs 54% at 65-80% and 22% at 50-65% and 9% at 80% success versus 25% at 65-80%, 8% at 50-65%, and 11% at <50%.

    I don’t think either poll has much significance … but perhaps when we meet up at Cooperstown for Trevor’s HOF induction, this will provide insights into the end-game part of Trevor’s MLB story.

  32. Oops, the brackets in post #83 got interp’d as HTML … trying again …

    Today’s your last chance to put a stake in the sand with respect to your expectations for Trevor for the month of May …

    http://www.predictify.com/auctionview.aspx?ID=3873

    In this forum, there are currently 102 responses with 16% predicting Trevor to have greater than 80% success in May vs 54% at 65-80% and 22% at 50-65% and 9% at less than 50% …

    This is just a way to go “on record” … and to start to see if a group can/does have better insights than you do …

    The way I’m looking at this is that this is giving me a forum to be clear about what I think Trevor’s status is … and a quick/clean way to know that I’m wrong should Trevor do what I truly hope he does!

    Or if you don’t want to sign up for predictify.com (which is free and I’ve found interesting), here’s the same poll over at GLB …

    http://www.gaslampball.com/2008/4/27/462088/how-will-trevor-do-in-may

    And to me, it’s interesting to note that the 68 folks who have voted there so far (presumably Padre fans) are 54% predicting Trevor to have greater than 80% success versus 25% at 65-80%, 8% at 50-65%, and 11% at less than 50%.

    I don’t think either poll has much significance … but perhaps when we meet up at Cooperstown for Trevor’s HOF induction, this will provide insights into the end-game part of Trevor’s MLB story.

    ps. And clearly the “most done” Padre is Jim Edmonds, who trails Barry Zito for the title of “Most Done in MLB” …

  33. #81@Geoff Young: But there’s still some sweet, sweet jam on that toast, bud … I gotta admit :-)

  34. #81@Geoff Young: What do you mean? Are you being serious?

  35. #86@Kevin: Not even a little. He looked great.
