Open Thread, 3/3: Padres vs Milwaukee

Lots of bad blood in today's matchup as we face the team that kidnapped Mr. Padre Junior and brainwashed him into working against us. It's like the episode of Thundercats where Wiley Kit and Wiley Kat were brainwashed by Mum-Ra into working against the other Thundercats. What's interesting is their eyes kept glowing red and they kept grinning evilly. How did the other Thundercats manage to become so fooled? Nobody thought to ask the youngsters why their eyes glowed red? Did anybody check Tony Junior's eyes before his AB against Trevor? I bet they glowed red.

It's interesting to think of how many teams the Padres have beef with these days. Our team used to be so lovable and snuggly and now? Misfits with no friends.

You guys listening to the game today? Me neither. Oh, wait, you are? OK me too.

Lineup stolen from Corey Brock who apparently realizes that's what we're using him for. Corey's become our new lineup whore.

CF -- Jeff DaVanon
RF-- Jody Gerut
3B -- Kevin Kouzmanoff
1B -- Adrian Gonzalez
C -- Josh Bard
LF -- Chase Headley
2B -- Edgar Gonzalez
SS -- Oscar Robles
SP -- Chris Young

Chase Headley better do something exciting or else.

GO PADRES!!! KILL MILWAUKEE!!!

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=txpadressignings&prov=st&type=lgns

jealous josh barfield
Base hit, Chris Young!
Let's find that guy a spot on the roster.
Question
If Corey Brock is our new lineup whore...who was the old one?
Jayson Werth's dad?
Oh man....
Jayson Werth's dad is gonna be so pissed.
Dodgers.....
The Dodgers are bringing Mark Sweeney to China. Poor China.
Mark Sweeney's gonna love China
He strikes me as a guy who's into Asian girls.
Dex
Over there they're just "girls".
Edgar
Edgar is already striking the fear of God into opposing pitchers...now they just drill him instead of pitch to him.
Brooks Conrad
Over the weekend, for the A's, Brooks Conrad had 4 ABs over two games and went single, homer, double, triple with 2 runs and 3 RBIs.
CY & Josh
Two innings...two stolen bases given up.
Written Monday, Feb. 25th:
"I hope Brooks breaks through with the A's. At the very least, I hope he gets a really good look at what he could contribute to a big league club. OK. You don't have to hear about Brooks for another month or so."

Stop with the lies, Dex.

"or so"
What month was that written? What month is it now?
Stop, Dex.
You're an addict. It's ok. We're here to support you. We just want you to get better.
I'll stop giving Brooks updates
Once you stop writing diary titles in all caps.
Apparently...
...we have reached a stalemate in our negotiations.

So, Brooks really had a single, homer, double and a triple with 2 runs and 3 RBIs? Cool.

2-1
Slow down, Padres! Save some for the regular season!
Cobwebs...
Ahh a spring training game day Open Thread! I'll have to shake off the rust and remember how to do this again...

So far, so good: 2-1 Pads

that's what this is for
Gotta get back in the groove. At first you may find yourself posting comments that aren't funny and/or interesting at all, but you'll get your summer legs under you soon enough.

Or actually, maybe some people will accidentally be funny and interesting before getting their summer legs and posting comments that are completely unfunny and uninteresting.

is CY still pitching?
i just tuned in and i don't really trust the box score.
Headley
So do you guys think he is making the team this year?
Ummmm....
Speaking of not trusting the box score...according to the Tex-SF boxscore Noah Lowry started for the Giants today. His linescore:

1.0 IP, O hits, 4 ER, 2 wild pitches and NINE walks.

Holy shit. Could that be right?  

Yep
I talked to a friend who actually took time out of his day to point the game out to me. Apparently he walked 6 out of the first 7 batters he faced... or something like that. I think that's got to be some kind of record for shitty starts. Miraculously, they only got 3 runs.
Boch
Someone probably had to wake up Boch to fill him in on what was going on.
Apparently...
...Lance Bass is pitching in relief for the Padres. Is there any job he can't buy?
womp, womp, womp...
=)

just kidding drama.

No. You're right, freelunch.
Terrible. It's the pills...not me.
"Looks like a gahroot to me"
That's good stuff.
i never realized
how much i missed open threads until today.

i can't wait for the regular season to start...

Agree 100%
Btw - Jody Gerut now with 2 hits today.

Can we just cut Chip Ambres and P-Keg today?

nah
we should cut them at the Beijing Airport, tell them to find their own way home.
SammyG
Always in regular season form.
Another hit for Chase.
P-Keg
Hits a three-run homerun.

Maybe now we can get TWO boxes of baseballs for him in a trade.

This is getting rediculous
Nice game so far, but hopefully this isn't the traditional "using up all the week in one game" move. heh
10-1 padres
what's goin on? i turned off the radio.
