MLB, B-R
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.
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.
#241@Ben B.: Awesome.
#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.
#225@Bryan S: You could just get wasted now.
I was wasted last Thursday during the game. Started sobering up before it ended though.
dam…why is it only the games I commit to watching end up stealing my sleep?
#254@Kevin: Might be a better idea…
wow Khalil got on base! I think that raises his OBP to .100
Greene’s OBP just went up.
bunting? come on. this didn’t work last time, remember?
That AB = Abject Failure.
I feel like we’re going to have to resort to trying to tag up on every flyball soon.
Balk? What?
HBP + Balk. That’s the offense coming through.
Maybe the next pop-up will be caught with one foot in the dugout!
#265@MJS: LMAO!
If they could score without a hit it would make for a perfect evening.
They could score without a hit here, which could be their best hope.
#267@MJS: Well played.
2 out? Kiss the rally goodbye.
Could they score off Mark Grant?
#271@Field39: What about Bud Black?
Lewis Black?
#272@Bryan S:
What about Matty V.?
Our offense is terrible!
#272@Bryan S: Maybe Jack.
I live in a bubble. Did Glen Hoffman get fired?
Why do I make myself watch these games every night?
Goddamit! I didn’t need that at 10:30 PM!
See, there’s the Padres’ problem. They hit the ball too far to get those bloops falling in.
I should have gone to sleep. Or gotten wasted. Either one would have beat this.
Rusch = Human Surrender Cigar
CURSE WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#281@Eric: Word. I guess Buddy wants to go home. I’m going to sleep…this sucks. At least it’s only April…
Rusch should be referred to as the White Flag.
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?
#276@Turbine Dude: We don’t have enough runners for Glenn to matter.
Of course, the ones we have are so important, I guess Glenn plays a high leverage position.
281: Yup when you opt for Rusch over Ledezma you are throwing in the towel.
That’s how you don’t hit the ball hard enough for a fielder to make a play!
hairston beat the throw anyway, his speed ain’t bad
That looked like ball 4 to Gonzo
Dammit, I can’t leave. Why do I bother? i know it will only end in pain…
Rally?
The bases are loaded. Wish I was.
Nice 1B by Kooz…I might have sent Hairston, though.
It’s all on Wilson now…
#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.
Morton? Crap. I smell DP.
Good call to hold everyone up.
I thought I heard Matty say something about Flannery making a call to a runner. My bad.
I’m not getting my hopes up. self-protection. I treat my Padres like i treat my girls.
Morton’s getting screwed with the balls and strikes again.
