Of course, if you don’t put guys on base, they can’t run on you. Go get ‘em, Jake!

Anyone have the radio on? Is Coleman still on?
My memory failed.
Geoff is here! ssssshhhhhh quick everyone jump into your beds and pretend you’re sleeping!!
#493@Richard: Props to Kevin … as usual! I’m not happy with Bud … he seems average at best … but I guess that’s best for a later rant …
I’m going try a different RALLY CAP … my 19th inning RALLY CAP!
#500@Eric: Woo. 500…
Would Wolf be an option pretty soon? It would be his day to throw in any event.
Come on, P-Mac!
wow. ledezma on deck
I can’t believe I’m still up.
#501@LynchMob: I think you overestimate the average MLB manager.
#503@Mark in Sacramento: Wolf pinch hit earlier in the game.
#503@Mark in Sacramento: I think he pinch hit earlier.
#503@Mark in Sacramento: wolf was burned as a pinch hitter
rusch in. uh oh
Well, it’s over now. Rusch is in.
#508@Jefe: #509@Richard: #510@Eric:
You forgot to tell Mark that after 1 at bat Randy Wolf has more hits tonight than Tony Clark does in 7.
494: Ughh!! Game is still on? Hmm…must go to Tilted Kilt! These radio ads are more suggestive during extra inning.
The Colonel has been asleep for a while now.
OK, Wil! Danger Wil! No more.
The Obsession is on now. Aw. CRAP!
I was joking about Rusch coming in so I could go to bed. Let Khalil pitch.
Kouzy!
Wow! KOUZ! He’s still up.
Oh, sorry. Didn’t see that. If need be, I can pitch. I work best on 17 years rest.
On a baseball field, that is.
And…I’m officially completely useless at work tomorrow. or today, if it tickles your fancy.
515. Word on Rusch…I’m anticipating sleep quickly.
since Peavy hasn’t pitched since yesterday, is he eligible to pitch today?
#515@Jeff: Best comment of the night. There’ve been some excellent ones too
#519@Kevin: That was a fine piece of commentary.
This game will do wonders for the Padres’ bullpen ERA.
If Rusch manages 23 1/3 scoreless this morning, he too will have a 2.00 ERA! Bring it!
#520@Bryan S: I’m gonna be taking a nap in the bathroom stall at work tomorrow.
32 hopper up the middle, said the radio.
Another blown call by the umpire on a 2 strike pitch.
Still tied.
#527@Schlom: Was it? I couldn’t tell on that one. Well, it’s not like he’s earned the benefit of the doubt.
524: Didn’t know anybody still do math this late.
524…Under 10 would be nice.
525.
We have a “quiet room” equipped with couches and pillows in building and you bet your ass I will be making a visit or two tomorrow.
#523@Richard:
I’m not sure how Matt and Mudcat are received in San Diego or just among fans and baseball guys in general, but I have become a huge fan in the past few seasons.
Based on jersey-retiring standards, if a Padre wins this game they’ll have to retire his number, right?
Dang it. OK, Craig Ferguson is on.
#2 behind Matt Holliday Vasgersian means…unless
geez. everything’s making me laugh now. “wouldn’t it be something if Rusch went deep?”
SEND ME TO BED YOU ORANGE SOB!!!
#533@Kevin: I’m a fan. I especially enjoyed Matty V’s “number six” Blazing Saddles reference the other day.
#533@Kevin: I’ve become a fan in the past few hours
The phrase “x is ONE of the hitless PadreS” should never be uttered in the 20th inning.
But I guess we wouldn’t be here otherwise.
A beautiful girl keeping score in the 21st. Let’s get married.
#538@Krs1: lol
#507@Richard: Perhaps …
I’m hoping my gravatar works now …
