This is exactly why I didn’t want the Padres to recall Rodriguez — as the starters in the infield are pretty set and don’t need many days off – he’s going to be used mostly as a pinch-hitter. Unfortunately he can’t hit so it’s just throwing away an out. Why carry an offensive player (especially when you only have 5 bench players) that can’t hit? For that inning or two when you need a defensive replacement?
Hmmmm. You the FO has got to look at all aspects of hitting at petco. The lighting, batters eye, hieght of the mound, wind direction, there has to be a reason Padres hitters are so bad and ordinary pitchers are so good at petco.
Some enterprising young grad student in physics ought to make a PhD out of it. Sandy should hire an expert to study it, serious.
There has to be a reason.
Of course, it could be that Padre hitters just suck.
BTW, Wally, consider making family plans after the ASB, FO needs a sacraficial lamb.
Ok I went to the cowboyjoewest.com site as suggested by Matt. You can buy his CD (7 tracks) for 12.99 or buy ALL 7 tracks individually for only $8. If I had this kind of marketing plan I would have a short fuse too!
Come on Corey. Preserve this margin.
WOW! VERY unlike a*shole Joe West to reverse one of his crew’s call.
#52@Turbine Dude: My bad. Joe just put the skids to the Marlins Manager.
Come on Scott. Hit one right here.
Earlier in the game they mentioned there’s a new Lolita’s location opening up downtown. Anyone know where it is?
Perfect game gone in LA.
Let’s go, Khalil. Spit on those sliders outside.
Dang it.
Gotta love Khalil.
#55@anthony: I tried finding something on Google, no luck. However, I don’t trust Mexican resturaunts outside of the southwest.
Drat. An insurmountable lead now. Crap.

All hopes now lay in beating Kevin Gregg for the win. Definitely doable. Right? Right!
Come on Edgar. Get on base.
91-pitche complete game for Kuroda. one hit, no walks, six Ks.
That was impressive. On the bright side, at least they didn’t get shut out!
