IGD: Padres vs Mets (6 Jun 08)
Fri, Jun 6, 2008
by Geoff Young
Padres (25-37) vs Mets (30-29)
Randy Wolf vs Johan Santana
7:05 p.m. PT

MLB, B-R
The last time Johan Santana faced the Padres, he served up a homer to Dave Roberts (the last time Roberts took a southpaw yard) and lost to Darrell May in what appears to be the final victory of the latter’s big-league career. Baseball is a strange game…
Fun fact: Brian Giles normally comes to the plate accompanied by the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Scar Tissue.” When Wolf pitches, though, he uses Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London.”

Remember when people used to get excited about being first???
June 6, 2008 at 6:31 pm
#1@Sean Callahan: I’m excited just to be there at all at this point.
June 6, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Looks like the DBacks are gonna win tonight. They are up 3-1, bottom 9th w/1 out.
June 6, 2008 at 7:05 pm
#3@Turbine Dude: When we get to .500, then we can start worrying about other teams. BTW, I left you a message on the earlier thread about your Cub youth. Baseball does strange things to the human psyche!
June 6, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Petco looks very very empty for a Friday night.
June 6, 2008 at 7:08 pm
In this day and age of baseball, I can’t understand why they place any importance with the W/L record for pitchers given the fact that there are so many middle relievers who can blow a possible no decision for a starter. I’d rather look at a pitcher’s ERA.
June 6, 2008 at 7:10 pm
Wow. I blinked and that half of the inning is over. Why can’t they do that when I have to get up at 4:30 AM the following morning?
June 6, 2008 at 7:15 pm
#6@Turbine Dude: Saves and W/L are already facing much more scrutiny.
June 6, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Hey nice hustle by Scotty. He has done that a few times this year.
June 6, 2008 at 7:16 pm
#4@parlo: I just went back and read your post. Very cool. In the 70’s (’75 or ‘74 I think) my dad took me to watch the then Iowa Oaks play the Oakland A’s in an exibition game and I managed to get Rod Carew to sign my Little Leage glove on the thumb. It was the only glove I had. So, took protect that autograph, I put scotch tape over it. Wish I still had that glove!
June 6, 2008 at 7:21 pm
#4@parlo: I still wish ill thought upon our NL West ‘enemies’ regardless of our situation.
June 6, 2008 at 7:23 pm
#6@Turbine Dude: I thought everyone had dismissed W-L records 20 years ago.
June 6, 2008 at 7:26 pm
#12@Kevin: I know I had. But listen to any broadcast or sports talk radio and they tend to emphasize it. Why, I don’t know.
June 6, 2008 at 7:26 pm
#11@Turbine Dude: I agree.
June 6, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Does anyone know how many 1st inning double plays the Padres have hit into this year?
June 6, 2008 at 7:27 pm
#13@Turbine Dude: Cause they are not as smart as us.
June 6, 2008 at 7:27 pm
#15@Steve: Yes. TOO MANY!
June 6, 2008 at 7:30 pm
#16@Kevin: Maybe it’s because the average Joe Schmuckatelli likes to hear the words ‘win’ and ‘loss’ and doesn’t understand the rest of the equation.
June 6, 2008 at 7:31 pm
#17@Turbine Dude: You think the same way I do! It’s good to be among kindred spirits.
June 6, 2008 at 7:31 pm
#18@Turbine Dude: I do think maybe they are more significant than 20 years ago. Because the amount of decisions can show a starter who is going deep into games.
Just a thought.
June 6, 2008 at 7:35 pm
#20@Kevin: Nice thought. But I’d rather refer to the IP/G for that.
June 6, 2008 at 7:36 pm
#11@Turbine Dude: With age, I have a lot of respect for the 1950s-1960s Dodgers. In retrospect, the 1970s Dodgers were not a very likable team. Interesting point though; the 77-78 WS has a bunch of future MLB managers. Baker, Pinella, Randolph, Russell, etc. There is more!
June 6, 2008 at 7:40 pm
#22@parlo: IMO, baseball was the ONLY good thing about the ’70s! I cringe everytime some young kid mentions a ‘Retro Night’ or their idea of what was going on then.
June 6, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Randy is pitching really well tonight.
June 6, 2008 at 7:47 pm
When will Tony or Matt tell us what rule they claim relates to the player being touched? or did I miss it?
June 6, 2008 at 7:50 pm
#25@David V: In a round about way they just tried to. He was touched by a coach before he tossed the ball out of the dug out. Should have advance the runner. Spilt milk.
June 6, 2008 at 7:52 pm
#23@Turbine Dude: The A’s, Reds, Yankees, Pirates, Orioles, Dodgers. It was quite a decade.
June 6, 2008 at 7:53 pm
It must be Friday. I’ve already made 50% of the posts so far. Yikes! Maybe I’d better STFU for a while…
June 6, 2008 at 7:55 pm
This was dealt with ad naseum last night. I just don’t know the rule that they are referring to that says if a coach (or any other player off field, etc) touches someone then …
June 6, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Good work matt the Jinks 0-2
June 6, 2008 at 8:01 pm
#29@David V: I felt like the Aflak duck in the Yogi Berra commercial after that discussion last night.
June 6, 2008 at 8:07 pm
It looks like we once again missed our chance to hurt a good starting pitcher early on.
June 6, 2008 at 8:13 pm
OT: What happened to all of the creative nicknames that we gave players last year? ie. Silent L, OG, NOG, Branyon the Manyon, Shrek, etal.
We need to come up with some more DS nicknames…
June 6, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Gonzalez is the ninth best player in the league, according to Win Shares.
June 6, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Santana is only up to 79 pitches. How many more before his wheels fall off? 100 total?
June 6, 2008 at 8:20 pm
54 pitches for Wolf through five innings.
June 6, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Bumper pool in the left field.
June 6, 2008 at 8:21 pm
#39@Kevin: That is impressive.
June 6, 2008 at 8:22 pm
96.8 pitches a game for Santana.
June 6, 2008 at 8:22 pm
That’s awesome…you hit the guy but since the bat is sort of sticking out it gets called a strike and nothing happens!
June 6, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Santana just got a wake up call courtesy of R. Wolf!
June 6, 2008 at 8:24 pm
That is why AGone should be the Padres 2K8 MVP.
June 6, 2008 at 8:25 pm
#42@Kevin: Do you have your own personal stat team standing by? Just kidding. Good info. Thanks.
June 6, 2008 at 8:26 pm
What happened on that play? I’m at work.
June 6, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Ruh rho Raggy!
June 6, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Pure instinctive great play by AGon. Shades of Keith Hernandez on that one.
June 6, 2008 at 8:28 pm
#47@Kevin: Shot to shallow right center. OG comes up with it and throws to home.
June 6, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Scotty just made a play that Edmonds can’t. Only one run scores.
June 6, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Another great catch by Hairston
June 6, 2008 at 8:32 pm
#47@Kevin: You have wierd work hours. I think there is a law on the books against working during Padres night games.
June 6, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Why is no one in the bullpen?
June 6, 2008 at 8:34 pm
#54@parlo: That’s why. R.W. is getting it done. He needs some help from the offense. I wonder if L.T. is available.
June 6, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Lucky to only give up 1 there, awesome defense all around! Think Randy’s done???
June 6, 2008 at 8:36 pm
#56@130tom330: IMO no. I think Santana is going to fall apart this inning.
June 6, 2008 at 8:36 pm
#28@Turbine Dude: We talked about this last week! Its good luck when yer all over the msg board. Keep it up, we need the mojo again.
June 6, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Good approach by Hairston there, go with Santana’s filthy stuff, don’t try to kill it.
June 6, 2008 at 8:38 pm
#58@130tom330: I’m on pain meds and MGD tonight, so I don’t think that will be a problem!
OMG, that was a helluva squeeze play!
June 6, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Who coaches baserunning on this team? A retarded monkey?
June 6, 2008 at 8:39 pm
How many times does that happen in back to back games? At least EGone isn’t on the DL.
June 6, 2008 at 8:39 pm
And Edgar did just about the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in my life… what the hell is wrong with him? Cost us a run.
June 6, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Great, another bad baserunning play by the Padres.
June 6, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Hairston’s gone dirtbag on us the last 10 min! Keep up the good work Scotty, maybe you can carry us for the inning.
Ahhhh, hit runner, two nights in a row, what are the odds (outside the ‘08 Pads season, of course…)
June 6, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Maybe it kept us out of a DP…
June 6, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Edgar never even looked, he had no idea the ball had hit him. News flash for the coaching staff: This team isn’t good enough to give away outs like that. Even if he dodges it and they turn two we still get a run out of it.
At least Adrian got it done.
June 6, 2008 at 8:42 pm
People say the Padres offense is boring but I disagree. It’s exciting to watch them find new ways to not score a run with a runner on 3rd and nobody out!
Luckily A-Gon made up for his brother’s blunder
June 6, 2008 at 8:42 pm
5.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes! That looked so T. Gwynnish.
June 6, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Way to go Adrian…
June 6, 2008 at 8:45 pm
I’d love to see Kouz crank one yard right now.
June 6, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Good enough!
June 6, 2008 at 8:46 pm
#57@Turbine Dude: Good call
June 6, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Back-to-back hits with RISP!!! We’re on a roll!
June 6, 2008 at 8:46 pm
#69@Turbine Dude: missed it, grabbin’ a beer and looking for PK’s. Plesant suprise though, now Kooze comes through, something musta kicked in…
June 6, 2008 at 8:48 pm
The home plate umpire is really giving Santana that inside corner. That pitch to Greene was definitely too far inside.
June 6, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Khalil is just awful this year. If we had anyone to take over I’d say he needs a trip to Portland.
June 6, 2008 at 8:48 pm
#77@130tom330: See post #57
June 6, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Ehhh, surprise. Su-prise, nothing “racially pure” about that. YGBSM!!!
June 6, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Huber needs to run into one…
June 6, 2008 at 8:51 pm
#81@Turbine Dude: Righteous call brother, it must be hard being right all the time! Yer doin’ a great job of it. LOL
June 6, 2008 at 8:51 pm
#79@Schlom: #80@anthony: He’s an average fan favorite. But, I would have to whole heartedly have to agree. Maybe he just needs a wake up call. If were have to ride a bus to a few games and stay at a Motel 6, he might get his act back together. No?
June 6, 2008 at 8:52 pm
#53@Turbine Dude: I work on a sports copy desk on the wrong coast.
June 6, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Why is Wolf still out there?
June 6, 2008 at 8:54 pm
#86@Kevin: My sincerest sympathies. Hang in there. There is life after snow and uptight assholes.
June 6, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Is TD’s favorite reliever up in the pen?
June 6, 2008 at 8:55 pm
That’s one way to get Santana out of the game…
June 6, 2008 at 8:55 pm
In case anyone cares about College World Series scores, there were two “upsets” today, Wichita State over Florida State 10-7 and Arizona over Miami 6-3. Georgia beat NC State 11-4 and Stanford is up 1-0 on Cal State Fullerton (with Phil Nevin announcing). Arizona’s win makes West teams an unbelievable 15-0 against non-West teams in the CWS.
June 6, 2008 at 8:56 pm
#85@Turbine Dude: IMO KT’s still waiting for that above average power to kick in for a series or two. Been hearing a few rumbles from the boys about Spiccoli lately. He can go to the left with the best of ‘em (Ahh, Greene just missed a difficult catch, not to is left I might add…). Gonna hand with him like we hung with Kooze and wait for the good times. We got any serious options at SS, Edgar probably wouldn’t volunteer.
June 6, 2008 at 8:56 pm
#88@Turbine Dude: Not much snow in D.C. It will be 97 here tomorrow.
June 6, 2008 at 8:57 pm
#87@Field39: I’m hoping Buddy has someone warming up right now. Randy has been very good to this point. But his wheels are about to come off soon.
June 6, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Is anyone in the bullpen????????
June 6, 2008 at 8:58 pm
#91@Schlom: I went to N.C. State.
June 6, 2008 at 8:58 pm
#89@Sean Callahan: Corey! Thank God, is up in the BP.
June 6, 2008 at 9:00 pm
#85@Turbine Dude: I’m not in favor of sending him down. That’s totally absurd. You don’t send players with 4 straight years in the majors to the minors for any reason, especially if they don’t have a replacement. Not only would that ensure that he won’t extend his contract here (which is probably doubtful anyway but a contract extension would really enhance his trade value) but also kill any trade value he might have.
He’s just going through a bad stretch at the moment, he’s probably not going to hit 205 the rest of the season. Even if he does he still has some value with his glove.
June 6, 2008 at 9:00 pm
C’mon, thats a great frame job by barrett! Gotta get that call…
June 6, 2008 at 9:00 pm
#93@Kevin: I was in DC two years ago. Very mild wintertime. 40 degrees in January.
June 6, 2008 at 9:01 pm
I smell impending disaster.
June 6, 2008 at 9:01 pm
If Randy gets out of this, he’s got my vote for player of the game.
June 6, 2008 at 9:02 pm
#101@Field39: Shhh. No bad mojo….
June 6, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Randy cant get a call, Corey’s warm… Pray for strikes!
June 6, 2008 at 9:03 pm
#93@Kevin: Its snowing down here in New Zealand
June 6, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Wolf’s strike zone is much smaller then Santana’s. Those curveballs are being shown as balls by Gamecast but so were alot of those inside fastballs by Johan. That 2nd pitch to Castillo was exactly the same as the 3rd and 4th pitches (both called strikes), not sure why it was called a ball.
June 6, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Randy. nice job.
June 6, 2008 at 9:05 pm
The Wolf survives! Lock him in TD. That 1/2 inning cost an entire beer! Back to the mini-fridge. Whew…
June 6, 2008 at 9:05 pm
#103@Turbine Dude: I provide oppisite mojo.
June 6, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Now use Bell and Hoffman and get the win.
June 6, 2008 at 9:06 pm
#102@Turbine Dude: He’s got my vote in the Post Game Show!! So, now we’ll see Brian (1946 Buick grill mouth) Corey. Doesn’t ruin my day. Thank God it’s not Meredith.
June 6, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Fresh meat, git ‘em Barrett.
June 6, 2008 at 9:08 pm
#96@Kevin: I have a bunch of cousins that went there (they are from Wilmington) and one that unfortunately went to UNC (and one to ECU).
I went to UCI and I’m amazed at how well their program is doing — they were cut because of Title IX (d’oh!) at the same time as men’s track & field and cross-country although we came back immediately. It took baseball until 2000 to start up again there.
June 6, 2008 at 9:09 pm
#58@130tom330: What are the stats on the # of TD post vs. the W/L columns?
June 6, 2008 at 9:11 pm
#65@130tom330: Scotty’s gonna get one here. Having too good a night not to.
June 6, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Seeing eye shot by Scotty.
June 6, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Yesssssss!!!! 3-4, killin’ it on D. Jody might be a bit concerned…
June 6, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Scotty not looking to bad at 3 for 4 tonight!
#108@130tom330: Dude, you need a kegerator. I fill up a two pints at a time to cut down on travel time to the kitchen.
June 6, 2008 at 9:14 pm
I am so proud going into a series where I was afraid we would be embarrassed (with very good reason) , that we are actually leading in the 2nd game after taking the 1st one (regardless of fashion). I was at last nights game and I absolutely loved the shocked look on the Mets fans afterwards. Justice!
OT: Geoff, I am wondering if it is time for a new poll. Maybe something to do with the draft or something else topical? Hope I am not beating you to the punch on something you are working on.
Also OT: I am liking the new filth filter. I have never seen one where you can see it if you want and ignore if you choose. Very nice addition.
June 6, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Another good play by Scotty! Okay, gonna jump off his jock now. Here’s to hoping he make a game-winning/game-saving play tonite to solidify my position.
June 6, 2008 at 9:16 pm
#118@Turbine Dude: FDRs doctor told him to cut down to two martinis a day. He doubled the glass size, and followed doctors orders.
June 6, 2008 at 9:17 pm
S-T-R-E-T-C-H and get another beer!
June 6, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Yet another quality start for a Padres starter. The Padres lead all of baseball in quality starts.
June 6, 2008 at 9:19 pm
#118@Turbine Dude: Finding the beer is the easy part,,, What I need to do is figure out a way to conceal the mini-fridge in the living room so the boss doesn’t gripe about how “frat-boy” a fridge in the living room looks.
June 6, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Man, this one is a nailbiter. Whoever loses this game is gonna have a LOT to think about tonight. Great game (so far).
June 6, 2008 at 9:21 pm
#121@parlo: FDR was a wise, wise man. Must have needed a few martini’s, you ever get a look at his Mrs?
June 6, 2008 at 9:23 pm
#124@130tom330: If you do it right, a kegerator looks as if it belongs there. Mini-fridges are “frat-boy.” Only a career man can boast of having his own keg without throwing a party.
June 6, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Is that the guy who was hit earlier? Oh My
June 6, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Nice in between hop grab by EGon!
June 6, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Are we actually going to win for the third night in a row 2-1. How good is this pitching staff anyway ?
Imagine if we actually had an offense.
June 6, 2008 at 9:24 pm
EGone stepped up there!
June 6, 2008 at 9:25 pm
#130@JP: JP, that’s called Christmas/Hannuka.
June 6, 2008 at 9:25 pm
#130@JP: Nah - we’ll score three here.
June 6, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Good stuff E-Go!!!!!! Hang a star!
BTW, you guys hear about Jerry Coleman’s book signing tomorrow? Barnes & Noble in Mira Mesa, 12pm/ It’s a great book, scattered stories, just like the Colonel in real life. I recommend it to anybody who admires the sacrifices a vet has made for their quality of life
June 6, 2008 at 9:28 pm
#127@Turbine Dude: Your gonna take the little ladies side! If I had that much beer on call, I’d probably have to quit my job! (ah, a man can dream…)
June 6, 2008 at 9:29 pm
#121@parlo: Churchill stumbled out of a pub and bumped into a woman. She said “You sir, are drunk!” and he responded “Yes madam, and you are ugly. However, in the morning, I shall be sober.”

June 6, 2008 at 9:30 pm
#135@130tom330: Nah. My wife bought mine for me. Just good economics.
June 6, 2008 at 9:32 pm
#138@Turbine Dude: says Turbine Dude to the Economics teacher… “All I want for x-mas is ______!”
June 6, 2008 at 9:33 pm
KG with a hit…
Too bad we now have to watch Tony Clark end the inning.
June 6, 2008 at 9:33 pm
#139@130tom330: A tasty wave and a cool buzz.
June 6, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Bring on Schowenweiss!
June 6, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Ah ha, this guy again! This should be good, the NY papers probably tore him apart this morning.
June 6, 2008 at 9:35 pm
It would be nice to TC catch one. I can’t count how many HRs I have watched him hit off the bench against us.
June 6, 2008 at 9:35 pm
#136@Turbine Dude: I am still laughing.
June 6, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Oh, this should be interesting…
June 6, 2008 at 9:35 pm
#141@Turbine Dude:… and a kegerator!
June 6, 2008 at 9:36 pm
#147@130tom330: LOL, yeah.
June 6, 2008 at 9:36 pm
ugly swing by Clark
June 6, 2008 at 9:36 pm
#140@Sebastian Callahan: On to that even in the middle of a NZ winter, eh?
June 6, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Well that’s it. Trevor Time!!
June 6, 2008 at 9:37 pm
It’s Trevor ’scare the hell out of me now’ Time.
June 6, 2008 at 9:39 pm
#150@130tom330: Snow was more enticing then watching the rest of the game so he’s headed out…
Just the “old fogy” left to watch the ninth…
June 6, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Pls. don’t get me wrong. I love Trevor and will be one of the first to buy a brick when he gets his statue…but…well.
June 6, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Ahhhhh, FOTFLOL! “A Kooze kousey!” Luv it, somewhere out there is a marketing genius! Been waiting all season for one of those. I’ll trade anyone all 3 giveaway hats for one of those any day!
June 6, 2008 at 9:40 pm
#153@Sebastian Callahan: Of course it would help if I changed the name…
Death…
June 6, 2008 at 9:41 pm
C’mon Trev, Randy deserves a win tonite!
June 6, 2008 at 9:41 pm
1st Pitch strikes, that,s a good sign. 2 down.
June 6, 2008 at 9:41 pm
I think it’s cool that Mad Dog sits in the dug out with a glove. Classic.
June 6, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Vasgersian seems to be under the impression that Carlos Delgado is the same hitter he was 5 years ago — there’s a reason he’s sitting on the bench now and it’s not because he’s going to hit 300/450/600 with45 HR.
June 6, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Taxes
June 6, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Let’s close. Looking great.
June 6, 2008 at 9:43 pm
PADRES WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 6, 2008 at 9:43 pm
DONE. Good job boys.
June 6, 2008 at 9:43 pm
Vintage Hoffman.
June 6, 2008 at 9:44 pm
My vote for Player of the Game: Randy Wolf
June 6, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Vintage Trevor and 3 Game streak. Kouz with a game winning RBI. This was a great game.
June 6, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Trevor….only guy with 500 saves on a team that most of the years didn’t provide many wins. I said he was done but I’m learning.
June 6, 2008 at 9:44 pm
#159@Turbine Dude: The Professor is definitely born again (lived since the) old school.
Trev had the good stuff tonite. Lets hear it from the “Trevor is washed up crowd!” Thats three solid outings in a row. Though I must admit I left last nights game as soon as he headed out for the non-save sit. i just can’t watch that stuff anymore…
June 6, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Another 2-1 win. Unbelievable.

#157@130tom330: BTW Tom, thanks for making the blog a little bit more fun.

#168@Oside Jon: #169@130tom330: I’m not gonna say he’s not done. He has his moments. However.com, his moment are becoming farer and fewer between. Just keeping it real. Trevor is one of the all time greats.

#171@Turbine Dude: Likewise my friend. The DS blog has become the best part of watching a game at home lately. I caught myself logging in this week after I got home from the game, just to see the pearls of wisdom I’d missed.
GO PADS, three in a row! Randy is 4-4, now the ball club needs to catch up. Happy Baseball boys and girls, EXCEPT for the racist at #72, U SUK! Sorry GY, had to get it off my chest. I sweated my a$$ off in the desert for there people too unfortunatly.

#174@130tom330: I’m also a 1st Gulf War vet. Don’t worry. GY will cut that short.

OMG they’re still around! Take your stupidity and ram it up yer…..Dont include us in your “WE!” We dont need you spreading hate and ignorance, you’re an idiot. We support our team, our families, and our friends, and refues to sink to your base level. When your done crawling outta your primordial ooze, you might want to recognize the plurality of the many Americans who’ve bled througout the world who’d be ashamed to recognize your right to spread your hate. Take your bs elsewhere!

Obviously, I just voted Randy Wolf.
BTW, Scan really does answer ALL of his e-mails regardless of the topic. He’s a pretty cool guy and supports the DS blog. If you mail him, mention DS and he’ll probably get back to you the same day. He’s always been cordial to me.

#175@Turbine Dude: My girlfriend is half Jamaican and I am half pis@d. I liked your posts tonight, see you tomorrow. On second thought, I need to have some teeth pulled Saturday. See you Monday!

#179@parlo: As per Anthony, stay painless my friend.
June 6, 2008 at 10:06 pm
#174@130tom330: On behalf of all of us greatful Americans and Veterans, thank you for your service to our country. Freedom is not free. Neither is blood.

#180@Turbine Dude: TD claims that MGD and Percocets (SP) will make a Padres game painless, I’d recommend a Sierra Nevada, but choose your own poison. If it works for the “08 season, it’ll work for a root canal (whatever you’re doing can’t possible be worse than that!)
June 6, 2008 at 10:14 pm
A’ight then, Scan mentioned my boy, and went with TD’s boy! Couldn’t agree more. Trev did a great job sealin’ the deal.
Gotta run, laptops outta juiced for the moment. Been a pleasure, save “Monica’s” bs. (Probably some little man hiding behind his mom’s login. Get ‘em GY
June 6, 2008 at 10:14 pm
#183@130tom330: Tom, no Percocets, just Tylenol 3. MGD=$89, Sierra Nevada=$145. Pure economics.
June 6, 2008 at 10:15 pm
#184@130tom330: Tom, I’ll be up for awhile check back in.
June 6, 2008 at 10:23 pm
#186@Turbine Dude: Roger that, back on-line. MGD vs. Sierra is a “quality of life” issue, not an economics issue. Thats why i went to college, to afford the “quality” i knew I”d soon become deserving.

#187@130tom330: Gotta run, better half is draggin me out to meet up with the girlfriends. Ill be at the game tomorrow (Sec 130, R8, Seat 23-24) with the old man, swing by if your able. Otherwise I’ll catch ‘yall on Sun.
June 6, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Right on.
June 6, 2008 at 11:14 pm
#165@Sean Callahan: Thanks for taking care of the ritual.
June 6, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Hoffman has 537 saves, not that anyone is counting.
June 6, 2008 at 11:25 pm
I like how the filter only censors “Dick” if it’s part of the comment.
June 6, 2008 at 11:32 pm
All of the NL West teams won, but the Padres are 9-8 in their last 17 games.
June 7, 2008 at 12:07 am
Three straight 2-1 wins.
June 7, 2008 at 8:15 am
#113@Jeremy: Thanks, glad you like the filter. I’m working on a poll exactly as you describe — should be up on Monday, if not sooner.
On a more general note, I had to delete a lot of posts from this one due to a troll and some responses to it. Reminder: Don’t feed the trolls.

#186@Geoff Young: Roger that! Don’t feed the trolls, sorry for the manifesto.
