Well, I’ve been moving the last 2 weeks and the TV has been disconnected. Today, I rejoin the Padres historic bid for a post season berth. It could happen…..maybe.

#1@Oside Jon: Jon, wierder things have happened!
BTW, how’s your boy doing?
July 6, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Even with two straight wins against the leaders of the NLW, we are still in last place and eight games out.
Looking at the stats, Tampa is kicking the sh*t out of everyone in both leagues. Well, we can’t always get what we want.

#2@Kevin: Thanks for the link. How the hell does a CY award winner not become a starter? Not that it matters. The ASG is a bullsh*t event anyway. Just another way for the networks to cash in. Sorry I’m so full of angst today. Just another frame of mind.
July 6, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Anybody got anything bad to say about Hairston? Hmmm? I’ve liked this kid since he was signed. Is it just a fluke?
July 6, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Sean Callehan where are you?
July 6, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Nice start for Scotty, too bad nobody else has shown up yet. Think that just pissed Randy off, he’ll be dealin for the next inning or so.
July 6, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Turbine, I have to say that after he missed all that time and with the Padres being where they are in the standings, I am not even close to surprised that Jake is not one of the selections.
July 6, 2008 at 1:25 pm
#9@Rich Campbell: Rich, I have to agree with you, there.
On another note: Do you think players step it up a bit more prior to a trade deadline?
July 6, 2008 at 1:27 pm
OT: Josh isn’t doing so bad today.
July 6, 2008 at 1:28 pm
#9@Rich Campbell: Nice photo link to your web-articles. Who’s actually batting in that pic?
July 6, 2008 at 1:28 pm
So far, anyway.
July 6, 2008 at 1:28 pm
#3@Turbine Dude:
He’s doing great. He’s enjoying the new casa. Big park right across the street to play ball in.
Stoked for Adrian.
If Hairston played against the Dbacks 162 games he’d hit 300 hr’s/season.
July 6, 2008 at 1:30 pm
#14@Oside Jon: Right on Jon! Where’d you all move to?
July 6, 2008 at 1:31 pm
#15@Turbine Dude:
Still in Oceanside….Just a way better neighborhood.
July 6, 2008 at 1:31 pm
#10@Turbine Dude: I was under the impression that pitchers were selected based on win-shares this ASG. Was Peavy an option on the AS ballot? I remember selecting position players but unless I wrote a pitcher in they (pitchers) weren’t an option. Excuse my ignorance…
July 6, 2008 at 1:34 pm
#17@130tom330: Pitchers are never on the All-Star ballot. They have always been selected by the managers.
July 6, 2008 at 1:36 pm
#18@Kevin: Okay then hows he on the AS team if he wasn’t selected?
July 6, 2008 at 1:36 pm
#17@130tom330: Tom you are probably correct. I’m probably even more ignorant on the subject. Tom Waits, Rich Cambell or GY would know more.
July 6, 2008 at 1:38 pm
#19@130tom330: What do you mean?
July 6, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Okay, now I’m really confused… Jake wasn’t on the Ch4 list they just put up, but he is on the list/article on Kevins link. Sooo, is he in? Or, is he out?
July 6, 2008 at 1:41 pm
#22@130tom330: My story is an obvious “modest proposal.” Do you think MLB would adopt any of those rules?
It includes this sentence:
Selig did not adopt Gammons’ other idea — that any gritty, gutty play be called a “Pedroia.”
July 6, 2008 at 1:42 pm
#21@Kevin: Peavy is on the list and described in the article as an all-star. But, nobody else seems to think he’s playing, including Matt & Mudd. I’m syarting to think padresnation is wrong in describing 3 Padres selections (Gonzo, Bell, & Peavy)
July 6, 2008 at 1:45 pm
#23@Kevin: ahhh, okay. Little slow on that one. Win shares seemed like a plausible idea. Didn’t see how Costa and Gammons got on the committee, but stranger things have happened. I gotta go out to the tackle box, grab some pliers and remove the hook from my cheek. Feelin’ kinda stupid….
July 6, 2008 at 1:49 pm
I don’t see Jake in here.

July 6, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Maybe too many beers. Dunno.
July 6, 2008 at 1:51 pm
#26@Turbine Dude: Yeah , sorry got fished there by Kevin, LOL. (See #2) Wishful thinking I guess, wanted to believe it…
July 6, 2008 at 1:53 pm
#27@Turbine Dude: Gonna have a few to help swallow the shame of fallin’ for that. LOL
July 6, 2008 at 1:56 pm
#29@130tom330: ‘A few?’ I’m going into a coma…
July 6, 2008 at 1:58 pm
EGon just f*cking rocks!
July 6, 2008 at 2:01 pm
#31@Turbine Dude: Strong D in the OF today.
July 6, 2008 at 2:08 pm
#32@130tom330: My wife is watching the game with and thought that Edgar was Adrian’s younger brother.
You know Randy didn’t want to hit Adrian. You could see it on his face.
July 6, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Maybe 1 run will win it today????
July 6, 2008 at 2:15 pm
#8@130tom330: Randy’s still dealin’ he seems to pitch better pissed. Kindy like our boy Jake. He’s had a strong last four innings, save the missed location to A-Go. He’s due to settle down here and will be vulnerable over the next few. I’m guessing he’s out of juice by the bottom of the 6th, and we can start smacking their middle/late relief around.
July 6, 2008 at 2:20 pm
#35@130tom330: I tend to agree. Randy and Josh are both strong today. Big rubber match. I think Randy will sit down first.
July 6, 2008 at 2:25 pm
#36@Turbine Dude: Not if he keeps pitching like that he won’t. That was a lot stronger inning than I expected.
July 6, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Forgive me I haven’t been following the Padres catcher situation. Who are the current catchers on the roster? Hundley and ??? Barrett and Bardo on DL….
July 6, 2008 at 2:28 pm
nailed that
July 6, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Wow! That ball went a LONG way!
July 6, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Upton just got ALL of that. Damn.
July 6, 2008 at 2:30 pm
#38@Oside Jon: Hundley and Carlin, two players who made their debut this season.
July 6, 2008 at 2:30 pm
#38@Oside Jon: =Hundly and Carlin. Bard should be back in 2-3 weeks (feelin’ lucky?) It seems to be a bit of an improvement, at least defensively.
July 6, 2008 at 2:30 pm
#37@130tom330: Your right. Josh is collapsing.
July 6, 2008 at 2:32 pm
#42@Kevin: Thanks. Carlin is who I forgot. I’ve been outta the baseball loop for a few weeks.
July 6, 2008 at 2:34 pm
crap!
July 6, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Here e go. I’m gonna start doing my Randy Quaid imitations.
July 6, 2008 at 2:35 pm
484! impressive!
#36@Turbine Dude: Banks looks to be falling apart this inning. Getting small balled here, after the MONSTER shot to left Arizona!
July 6, 2008 at 2:35 pm
are you kidding me? Cr@p gets censored? Man, tight controls….=)
July 6, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Ahh Matty buying into my proposa… Angry Randy = no good!
July 6, 2008 at 2:50 pm
#31@Turbine Dude: 10-21 on full counts. Thats a pretty sweet stat! E-go IS the man! Wish we could string a few together and knock a couple in.
July 6, 2008 at 2:54 pm
The vault is open on Banks. Time to pull him.
July 6, 2008 at 3:11 pm
C’mon Khalil! Take the damm down and away pitch. Will you NEVER learn?
July 6, 2008 at 3:13 pm
#53@130tom330: So frustrating!
July 6, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Go BIG Scotty!
July 6, 2008 at 3:31 pm
or, go home!
July 6, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Turbine Dude, your favorite sidearmer is in. Where’d ya go? =)
July 6, 2008 at 3:38 pm
#57@Oside Jon: Nice D by TD’s boy there.
July 6, 2008 at 3:41 pm
#58@130tom330:
Hilarious. The claw looked a little spooked with that ball coming his way.
July 6, 2008 at 3:42 pm
How about a come back and blown AZ save?
July 6, 2008 at 3:43 pm
#59@Oside Jon: The way things been going with baseballs and faces this season for SD, can you really blame him?
July 6, 2008 at 3:44 pm
YES!!!!
July 6, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Can you believe Gonzo scored there? Seemed like it too 5 minutes for that play to shake out. Nice hustle there boys!
July 6, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Devastating speed! LOL
July 6, 2008 at 3:46 pm
#61@130tom330: True. I’d have just wuss’d out and gotten out of the way.
July 6, 2008 at 3:46 pm
if they dont’ score kouzmanoff….
July 6, 2008 at 3:47 pm
#65@Oside Jon: ditto brother!
July 6, 2008 at 3:47 pm
#57@Oside Jon: I went to get something to eat. I’m starving. Holy crap! We’ve almost got a ballgame here!
July 6, 2008 at 3:48 pm
#67@130tom330: probably would’ve let out a little shriek as I dove behind the mound! ROTFLOL
July 6, 2008 at 3:49 pm
At least KG didn’t strike out. FFFFFFFFFFF
July 6, 2008 at 3:50 pm
You gotta be kidding!
July 6, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Can Giles do Kirk Gibson?
July 6, 2008 at 3:50 pm
AHHHHHH! Made contact there at least Spicoli. Don’t strand the runner. Runner on the three bag with no outs, man that sounds tragically familiar.
Mighty OG at the bat.
July 6, 2008 at 3:52 pm
whimper, whimper, dull thud! How do we do that so consistently. Kooze died on third at least twice today. ERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 6, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Once again, I feel like the Aflac duck.
July 6, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Going to the beach. Later boys.
July 6, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Khalil is a freaking joke…… what team is looking for a shotstop, let’s get them on the phone..
That was ri-freaking-dicculous.
July 6, 2008 at 3:55 pm
BTW, McDonald’s sucks.
July 6, 2008 at 3:59 pm
#77@Richard D.: you gotta buy into the party line. “Were spoiled by his defensive ability, we’d miss him before he was gone!”
Maybe asking Wally for some help, swallowing a little of your arrogant “I dont need a hitting instructor” pride and learning to lay off a freaking breaking pitch away would help!
So frustrating says it all#54@parlo:
July 6, 2008 at 4:23 pm
#7@Turbine Dude: At work - it’s already Monday here…
July 6, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Sabathia traded to Brewers. This one is no joke.
