Highlight of Friday’s game? Watching Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson run around an empty stadium while filming some movie. That Wilson sure can shake it…

I wonder what percentage of Padre fans thought Adrian would hit into a double play there? 25%? 50%? Or were most people like me, knowing it was coming?
$%^%
Yep, that was a huge potential inning if Agon recognizes that he can’t do anything with that pitch. Easier said than done, I know, but his plate discipline has definitely not improved.
Nice to see that Owen Wilson is not trying to kill himself any longer. I guess he has just left that for us Padre fans. Mike Jacob, Chula Vista native, sharing in a good ass spanking of the Padres. Hell, everyone else has….
2 run shot by Mike Jacobs followed by a walk to Jorge Cantu. Not good a good start. Can the Padre offense get 2 runs against Ricky Nolasco?
Jake has a 28 pitch inning and Bard makes an out on the first pitch. ????
Bogus
About time someone hit one of those hanging curves. Nolasco has thrown about 5 of them so far and hadn’t been hurt yet (the worst was the one Greene took for strike three to end the first).
Wow, we scored 3???
Just got home nice to see we are at least up by a run instead of down. Wife and I were watching the Red Bull races from the flight deck of the Midway. Awsome!
Jake with an opportunity to get 4Ks this inning … go, Jake!
11 … Nope, after getting Uggla to 2 strikes, he flew out to CF for the 3rd out … following a Cantu K on a wild pitch that didn’t result in an out …
Thru 3 …
Pitches-strikes – J Peavy 69-41; R Nolasco 57-38.
Ground balls-fly balls – J Peavy 2-3; R Nolasco 5-3.
Batters faced – J Peavy 15; R Nolasco 16.
… not a good pitch count for #44 …
Thrown out trying to advance to third on a pop fly. Why?
Watching McAnulty run the bases there I’m going to have to say that he has no idea what he’s doing out there. I remember that a lot of us blamed the 3rd base coach when he was thrown out trying to stretch a 2B into a 3B with no outs (in that 22 inning game). Again, since you are in Little League they tell you to not make the 1st or 3rd out at 3B, no McAnulty has done both.
#14@Schlom: now McAnulty has done both I meant. Seriously, is he even paying attention out there?
Great hustle on a foul pop down the line in LF by McAnulty. Almost makes up for his blunder on the bases (but not quite).
#15@Schlom: With the Padres struggeling like they are, the last thing they need is brain dead base running. Not only did he ruin an oppertunity to score, but he sent Jake back out there on short rest, following a tough inning.
#17@Field39: If P-Mac was in the Kentucky Derby they would have put him down:

Seriously, you finish 2nd and they kill you right afterward? Maybe it’s like Voltaire said: Pour l’encouragement des autres.
#14@Schlom: There wasn’t a question about the earlier incident, you can see Hoffman waving him to 3rd and any Padre who spoke of it said that’s what happened. I don’t understand him tagging on a foul.
The Padres are going to have to take a page from Forest Gump, and place people out in the stands with signs: “Stop Paul Stop.”
#19@Tom Waits: True, but after that display you have to wonder.
Thanks to Ramirez for keeping Khalil from hitting into the double play and they scored two runs on it as well. Maybe their luck is finally changing!
#18@Schlom: Quoting Voltaire on the Ducksnorts blog! And in French! And a 3-run lead?! OMG, take me now, Jesus, take me now…
Tough luck for Nolasco that inning. Granted he loaded the bases with only one out but he got the double play ball to get out of the inning but Ramirez botched the transfer from his glove to his hand. Considering that he’s one of the best offensive plyaers in baseball, I guess you could live with his defense — I’d certainly rather have him then Khalil at SS.
First, Voltaire… now Shakespeare!
#22@dprat: Well, it was about horse racing so it doesn’t really count. Seriously, you finish 2nd in the biggest horse race in the world (and the only female in the race) and your reward is that they put you down? That’s tough.
I’d probably send Clark up now. Jake hasn’t looked too sharp and we have a 12 man staff.
#25@Schlom: Hard to believe she ran second, since she was probably shredding her ankles with every stride.
Nice inning by Jake, it looks like he can go six.
#27@Tom Waits: No kidding. That was one tough animal. The jockey said he could feel her flinch at the first turn, not sure how much into the race but I assume it’s fairly early. When I get hurt running I usually just stop right away.
#4@Eddy Gorilla: I’ve seen classier takes.
#29@Schlom: Don’t get me wrong, I think every IGD should include at least one quote in French – a small contribution toward internationalizing baseball.
But as to the horse, there’s a lesson in there, repeated way too often at horse tracks every year, about the costs of single-minded breeding efforts… whether its horses, tomatoes, or… soylent green.
I’m guessing some of you saw this:
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=crasnick_jerry&id=3378892
Webb gave up four runs in six innings but improved to 7-0.
Peavy is not too happy to leave the game and I think at the umpire for calling a ball on the fifth pitch of the AB (it looked pretty good).
#31@dprat: You don’t really care about the breeding of the “ingredients” in soylent green, do you?
I’m guessing everyone also knows the Padres have the worst record in baseball.
Why is Edmonds running? He’s slower than PMac.
#35@Schlom: When I stop by the grocery to pick up my soylent green, it better be guaranteed organic AND “free-range.” None of that Monsanto GM crap.
#36@Kevin: No. I have had plenty of experience avoiding the standings, when they are playing this bad.
In other news, Colorado has erased an early 6-0 Dodger lead, now 6-6 in the 4th. Gotta love mile-high baseball.
#38@dprat: That’s why you should get your soylent green at Henry’s or Whole Foods rather then Ralphs or Vons. Sure it might be a little more expensive but you know it’s better for the environment.
No way Edmonds could make that catch.
#42@Turbine Dude: Neither can Amezaga
The 2B umpire (Gerry Davis) was like P-Mac on that call — totally clueless. The funny thing about that play is that everyone except for the umpire knew that ball hit the ground.
#43@Schlom: I’m anti Edmonds this season like I was anti-Silent L last season. I won’t be satisfied until he is gone and Hairston takes his place.
Way to go Agone!
Talk about a ducksnort! Can you charge two errors on that?
#45@Turbine Dude: I can see that. He’s looked a little better today but I’d like to see him pull the ball a little more. That was a nice swing to line out to deep RF. With his plate discipline (and the fact that unfortunately he’s probably the best defender in CF on the team) if he could hit .250 he’d be valuable.
I’m holding out hope for him since he’s one of my favorite players — going back to the time he was with the Angels.
A clean double.
#49@Field39: Seriously?
no
Bases loaded. Here’s where we fall apart.
anyone know what happened to KG?
Four-Six-Three
I want that to be my address…
Way to go infield…ham and eggs.
Finally, a win. Wooohooo. I still feel like Randy Quade in Major League 2 though.
Oh, well. You can’t lose ‘em all.
We win…so stoked.
Very curious what happened to KG.
And nice of us to throw up a seven spot on the day ESPN.com leads off with a story about their anemic offense.
Good night everyone.
#57@Coronado Mike: He got something in his eye and scratched it.
We won!!!! I’m about an hour late….
#30@Kevin: Jeez, Kev, Sorry to offend your egg shell like ego. Hell, it looks like they escaped the ultimate ass spanking, i.e. scoreboard at end, this time. Edmonds looks like he is ready to ride the rascal around the square dance pit though.
#60@Eddy Gorilla: Nothing quite as funny as suicide humor. We need more of that around here.
#48@Schlom: No way is he the best defender in CF on the team.
#62@SDSUBaseball: Whose better Callix Crabbe ?
S.Estes hasn’t given up an earned run in 7 innings tonight against New Orleans
#64@JP: With KT in attendance.
#65@Field39: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe we give Estes a start or two in May at the major league level so that we don’t lose him and then maybe we could trade him for a decent prospect in June or July.
#66@JP: Assuming he doesn’t get knocked out of is first start.
#60@Eddy Gorilla: How can an ego get offended?
#63@JP: Hairston. He has been fine. Edmonds has obviously lost it defensively. Crabbe… hahahaha
