Jair Francoise Jurrjens: Ninjas Jar Fierce Jurors
I’ll never give up on the team. But, I’m tempted to give up on this season. I’ve never been one to throw in the towel so early, but this is looking bleak.
Yes, TD, it is looking grim. Bash the season, bash the FO off-season moves, bash the manager’s roster choices and in-game moves but still love the Padres.
#2@jay: Well, I stood by the Chargers when they went 1-15. I’ll stand by the Padres ’till the last pitch.
Edmonds is batting 5th again. Remind me to slap Bud Black next time I see him…
OG with a nice lead off double to deep left center.
#4@Bryan S: He is having a Bruce Bochy moment.
There’s much to be sour about, but the season isn’t lost. We still have 5 months of baseball ahead of us, and I’m confident that it can’t remain this bad all year long. Just as I type this Iguchi strikes out and doesn’t get Giles to 3rd. sigh
The Atl is hitting well and we are not. Should interesting to see. What I don’t see is Kahlil swinging at sliders low and outside, or guys swinging at first pitches with RISP. Lets work the pitcher, get his count up and see what we can do.
HOMBRE
AGone with a RBI double to left! Nice. I thought it was going yard.
Kouz was out so fast, gameday didn’t even notice.
Edmonds looking again like Silent L of last year.
Why are they sidelining Hairston? Is it a seniority thing to keep Edmonds in?
Escobar was 1/3 the way to second before the pitch was even thrown.
Sorry, 2/3rds
#3: that was the first season I had the Tivo, NFL Package, so got to see them all, except, of course, the KC game they actually won. Pure pain.
“Watching” on Gameday; the third pitch to Edmonds looked like a ball on GD. How was it on TV?
#16@jay:
#16@jay: Wife distracted me, didn’t see it.
I’m also still trying to get used to blogging on my laptop. Friggin’ touch mouse is to wierd. Not used to it.
Nice catch there OG!
Bad defense by Iguchi not getting to that ball and keeping it in the infield.
#21@Ben B.: Could lead to a big inning. It seems like bad defense has been hurting us pretty consistently this year.
More bad defense not cutting that ball off. Heck, Kouz might have been able to get to the double by Franceour. These balls aren’t getting hit hard, except for the one out of the inning by McCann.
When you announce to the world that you are going to make changes in three days, you should expect three ugly days of baseball.
#13@Turbine Dude: Hairston is pretty awful himself. At least whith Edomnds he was good at some point in his career. You know it’s bad when having Sledge back out there is an upgrade.
OK, my Cox cable just went out. WTF?
#26@Turbine Dude: Mine too. Out completely.
#26@Turbine Dude: Maybe Channel 4 is doing a Community Outreach program? Suicide prevention?
Damn, Chipper Jones is awesome.
Cox support phone line is ringing busy
LAME!
#28@Phantom: That Coronado bridge is looking better by the moment.
I’m now listening to Ted and Jerry, which doesn’t hurt my fealings. I’d rather ‘watch’ the game though.
#33@Turbine Dude: If you’re not getting the game on 704 it should be available on Channel 4 in standard def
#34@anthony: Not getting any Cox Cable. Hope my wife remembered to pay the bill! LOL
I’m getting a busy signal dialing 411 to get Cox’s #!
From what I just heard, Kotsa hit a homer? 5-1 Atl?
#36@Turbine Dude: TD, what part of town are you in?
#38@anthony: Bonita/Paradise Hills.
I just got word there is a major outage of digital services. I’ll try to get some details for you.
#40@anthony: Funny, my internet and phone still work. Just not TV. Thanks Anthony.
that was a pretty nice catch by Kotsay, covered a lot of ground to rob Iguichi
#41@Turbine Dude: If you really want to watch the game you can bypass the box and connect the coax cable to your tv. Analog video is unaffected.
Ugh, you probably don’t want to see this though.
#43@anthony: You’re right, I don’t really want to watch this.
Did the Padres show any interest in Mark Kotsay this off season ?
#45@JP: They didn’t show interest in getting better. … Chipper is hitting .426.
Now I know how you people feel when you can’t watch live. What just happened? Who got hurt?
Ok, got the Cox back. Had to unplug the box and reboot.
Nice triple for Gooch.
#47@Turbine Dude: Cable should be back up now.
I’m not giving up on this game.
