Glass half full attitude: Watching a bad team attempt to play baseball is still better than a good day at work.
#1@Turbine Dude: I’m with you. I’d rather watch crappy baseball than not have a team. It sucks having a crappy team..but I still love baseball and I’ll be watching the games in September even though we’re likely to be 30 games out by then.
I really think that Greg Maddux could roll out of bed with a runner on first and have a 50/50 shot of throwing a double play.
Pujols hit that ball right at Gonzo’s golve. It doesn’t just happen to the Padres.
Nine-pitch first for Maddux.
RE 3:Okay, I didn’t see the double play. I wrongly assumed it was a ground ball double play. I stand by my statement though. Greg Maddux eats runners on first with 1 out for breakfast…
1-0.
Good night, Irene.
Wow and out.
Luke Carlin really impresses me.
Another shattered Maple bat. When the hell is Bud Selig going to outlaw those things? They’re dangerous.
Nice double for Adrian off the center field wall.
#7@Kevin:
Wow…..over already. I tend to agree with you. 2-0 now.
Oh well. It could always be worse. At least we’re alive and able to type.
#9@Turbine Dude:
Rick, we decided against Friday game. I’m in LA working till 3PM, then traffic, then traffic from OSide to SD. I will be ready to fall asleep by then. BUT….my wife made me promise we’d do a game soon so were shooting for another game during the homestand.
What the hell is up with our base running. I guess Adrian helped avoid a DP.
#12@Oside Jon: Right on. Understand.
That strike was accross the batter’s box chalk!!
#13@Turbine Dude: At least the double play would of scored a run.
1st and 3rd, nobody out and no runs scored. Typical. I guess it makes it easier to watch the final 8 minutes of the Pistons-Celtics game.
That was just stoopid. Why did they tell KG to go on that? Luke Carlin was on deck. I can fix a Turbine Control System, but I don’t know anyone that can fix stoopid.
16: was the KG steal close? My mlb.tv is acting up.
Not scoring with runners on 1st and 3rd, nobody out has become our specialty this season.
#12@Oside Jon: It’s sort of like soccer, where a 2-0 is almost insurmountable. Sort of like a six- or seven-lead in baseball normally.
This is bad the padres are losing because who was pitching it is 2 to 0 .
This is my new name.
I am DANNY this is my cooler name.
20: at least in soccer there is a chance that the other team could get a red-card and go a man down….
#21@Garchomp: Right on Danny-er, I mean Garchomp. Glad to see you in here young man.
#20@Kevin: Will Maddux win his 355th game …
with the Padres this season?
with another team this season?
not at all this season?
#20@Kevin:
Well said. Sad but true. Like someone said ealier, I remember the “losing 2003 Padres” were at least fun to watch and fairly competitive. This is like last year where we knew we had little offensive chance BUT WAY WORSE.
#24@Kevin: With Chicago.
#17@Turbine Dude:
I used to sell soft ferrite which goes in some transformers which somehow relates to turbines which a company called Capstone Turbine used. Anyway, what is a Turbine Control System? OT….I know…..
Danny is in on the mac posting, representing 9 year olds……hahaha.
#27@Oside Jon: Think of your car’s computer that regulates fuel and air intake and speed and monitors vibrations and a whole plethera of other things…on steroids.
Gotta love Danny representing!
Nice DP KG…. My favorite player.
#28@Turbine Dude:
Understand.
Gotta dig the guys who make these systems…..making my life easier.
#30@Garchomp: Danny, is your avatar a video game picture?
Turbine dude it is a yu gi oh card.
#33@Garchomp: I’ll take your word for it.
Talk about poor peripherals –Joel Pinero is shutting down the Pads. Gerut’s having trouble putting good wood on Pinero’s 87 mph fastball.
It looks like that closed door meeting, lit a big fire under this team.
#36@Field39: Was there another one recently?
No runs into the 5th? How could this be?
Bring back Nevin and Klesko….we may have a chance at an HR from time to time.
OK. All posts from me from here on out tonight will be positive.
Hairston? What are you doing? Trying to get an RBI?
Right on Scotty! Now, if Luke can just get a base hit.
#36@Field39:
LO friggen L
Carlin doesn’t look old enough to shave.
#37@Kevin: Before tonight’s game.
Corey up in the pen for those of you not watching.
Two runners in scoring position, and again nothing comes to fruition.
#42@Field39: Was it players only or also management?
#45@Kevin: Management
#45@Kevin: Management/Players. KT, Alderson, Coaches, and Players.

The AP story just mentions Black being there.
It seems they’ve adjusted the bar on what constitutes a “star worthy” play.
#48@Kevin: I’m just repeating what I believe I heard on XX 1090 Sports Radio on my way home from work today.
