In baseball, as in life, it’s wise to abandon your long-term plans at the first sign of trouble. Good luck with that.

Maddux goes for career win #350.

  1. Also, we need to stop playing “Hells Bells”… it looks stupid when you play that, have all the scoreboards light up, and then get rocked.

  2. #246@Bryan:

    I did hear that interview and thought the exact same thing!

    I was encouraged at him saying something about targeting and offensive player in the upcoming draft because we have not had much luck drafting pitchers recently.

  3. #225@Bryan S: You could just get wasted now.

  4. I was wasted last Thursday during the game. Started sobering up before it ended though.

  5. dam…why is it only the games I commit to watching end up stealing my sleep?

  6. #254@Kevin: Might be a better idea… :)

  7. wow Khalil got on base! I think that raises his OBP to .100

  8. Greene’s OBP just went up.

  9. bunting? come on. this didn’t work last time, remember?

  10. That AB = Abject Failure.

  11. I feel like we’re going to have to resort to trying to tag up on every flyball soon.

  12. Balk? What?

  13. HBP + Balk. That’s the offense coming through.

  14. Maybe the next pop-up will be caught with one foot in the dugout!

  15. #265@MJS: LMAO!

  16. If they could score without a hit it would make for a perfect evening.

  17. They could score without a hit here, which could be their best hope.

  18. 2 out? Kiss the rally goodbye. :(

  19. Could they score off Mark Grant?

  20. #271@Field39: What about Bud Black?

  21. #272@Bryan S:

    What about Matty V.?

    Our offense is terrible!

  22. #272@Bryan S: Maybe Jack.

  23. I live in a bubble. Did Glen Hoffman get fired?

  24. Why do I make myself watch these games every night?

  25. Goddamit! I didn’t need that at 10:30 PM!

  26. See, there’s the Padres’ problem. They hit the ball too far to get those bloops falling in.

  27. I should have gone to sleep. Or gotten wasted. Either one would have beat this.

  28. Rusch = Human Surrender Cigar

  29. CURSE WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  30. #281@Eric: Word. I guess Buddy wants to go home. I’m going to sleep…this sucks. At least it’s only April…

  31. Rusch should be referred to as the White Flag.

  32. Aaron Rowand is a better hitter than Bengie Molina. Why would you walk Molina to get to Rowand?

    And shockingly enough it didn’t work. Why was Huber playing so deep?

  33. #276@Turbine Dude: We don’t have enough runners for Glenn to matter.

  34. Of course, the ones we have are so important, I guess Glenn plays a high leverage position.

  35. 281: Yup when you opt for Rusch over Ledezma you are throwing in the towel.

  36. That’s how you don’t hit the ball hard enough for a fielder to make a play!

  37. hairston beat the throw anyway, his speed ain’t bad

  38. That looked like ball 4 to Gonzo

  39. Dammit, I can’t leave. Why do I bother? i know it will only end in pain…

  40. The bases are loaded. Wish I was.

  41. Nice 1B by Kooz…I might have sent Hairston, though.

    It’s all on Wilson now…

  42. #292@Bryan S: Because one time it didn’t end in pain. And we’re all just hoping that one glorious day in the future, we will get to experience that again.

  43. Morton? Crap. I smell DP.

  44. Good call to hold everyone up.

    I thought I heard Matty say something about Flannery making a call to a runner. My bad.

  45. I’m not getting my hopes up. self-protection. I treat my Padres like i treat my girls.

  46. Morton’s getting screwed with the balls and strikes again.
