Thanks

Needed a fresh start

I see that I am the only one who reads.....

i'm here

apparently when it gets close to 500, the thread tries to silence the cries of its creator. it's like the frankenstein monster.

The new guy read it

WOW

Did you guys hear that???? They HATE Andruw up there.

Sweet music to my ears

They hate fresh air too

What DO they like?

Latinos with mustaches

women, that is

Jones getting booed

PFOB!!!

That was loud and brutal.

Awesome.

Loudness and brutality...

go hand in hand with a PFOB.

I was hoping the GO HERE

would lead to a unicorn

I think

the new regime is trying to ban the use of unicorns...

Unicorn banners

Unicorns only work for offense.

Dancin' Spidey is for D.

well we're up

Weird

someone put up a new fanshot

Thank you so very much for that.

That is so crazy

Who would do that?

(recommend)

I wonder if it'll end up on the front page later

that'd be really weird.

I doubt it

For that to happen, it would need a lot of Rec's

Only an Admin can kick it up on the front page

I know one of them pretty well.

Oh, no way

That could never happen. I'm not even gonna be checking for that.

I straight up rec'd that shid.

It appeared... just like magic I suppose

My only complaint...

...that should really be on the main page.

Hilarious....

"Well I can hit you in the face."

Just remember that, dude.

30 Straight Singles...

Here is everyone

I got lost being a new poster....was talking to myself

it's like a series of tests

it's our way of culling the weak from the herd. can't tell you how many times we've almost lost Wonko.

I got lost too

Am i still part of the herd?

juuuuust barely

but if the weather takes a turn for the worse and the herd has trouble gathering food, you'll be the first to be cannibalized.

Ah, sorry 'bout that

I saw a last post from you and thought you had to have seen the 2d post.

I'm cross-eyed mad

about that home run.

It's hard to accept that Jake couldn't have a 0.00 ERA all season. . . .

He doesn't give up many

But it hurts every time.

Wow

Blum has more HRs that Greene, Iguchi, Edmonds, Kouz and Bard combined.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ITS ALLL OVER!!!

omg omg omg

FINALLY

extra base hit

Nooooooooooooooooooo

EFFIN BASTARD

You doubling P.O.S.!!

There's the bad joke

anybody else hoping he would get thrown out at 2nd?

Stupid Edmonds!!!

PFO

dissapointment

FRIGGIN' EDMONDS!!!

WTF???

If it wasn't PKEG

It was gonna be James.

I hate you, Jim Edmonds.

No

Cant say i was

now.....

can we have the same amount of consecutive doubles?

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

He ran across....TWO BASES? On the SAME HIT?

This will revolutionize the game of baseball, I tells you!

30's a good number

"Touch 'em both Jim Edmonds"... classic Matty V

lol

was about to post the same thing - love how Matty was totally getting into the singles thing too.

But

"So you're sitting at the hotel bar all night with all these singles, and you're... why not... order me a double" terrible, lol, that's Mark for ya.

Mud is just bummed

He hasn't been able to use his favorite "In N Out Inning" thing yet this year

Oh man

"Peavy wins singles match on the lawn at Dodgers stadium"

It goes on

Mark: Did you just think of that?
Matt: I've been working on that since the second inning.
Mark: Genius

I told you I hate Edmonds

Can't even positively contribute without a nasty negative aftertaste.

like skunky beer?

Or something like that.

Damn you, Khalil.

You better get the damned run in.

All we need is a single

or a sac fly

My cat just started howling

...mourning the loss of the singles record.

Thank you, Greeney.

More Matt

"Peavy wins singles match at Dodger Stadium Lawn"

Wish I could hear them.

I don't mind Scully, but he's no Vasgersian or Grant.

blaspheme!

Not the first time I've heard that.

See?

3.0 needs spell check.

that would mess up my routine

...I am the Queen Of Typos after all ;-)

sorry im late guys

enjoying a weekend at home.....WHY THE HELL DID THEY TAKE PV OUT...I HATE FURCAL!!!! and Pierre or some mixture of them....

Scully sounds like he's reading from a teleprompter thats not there.

you beat me to it

I had to rewind to remember it correctly. Stupid beers....

I'm so sorry I said that, come back to me buddy.

Take that

you effin' Dodgers!

In a minute or two

most Dodger fans will be leaving...

did they ever show up?

They're still there???

It's just the kids left now

STILL hoping for autographs...

That'll never happen

they're profiling the gangbanger types

Why did they do that?

Why did he warm up only to have Bud come out and pull him?

What is wrong with him? Seriously?

Did he not have guys warming up in the bully in time? He pisses me off over and over. WTF?

When was the last time

Buddy pointlessly burned a pitcher? This has a vaguely familiar feel to it. . . .

What the hell was that?

I can't read lips

I tried though. No clue about it all.

dodgers put in a lefty pinch hitter

so buddy brings in hatcher to walk him

Got it

Matty V explaining just that right now

As I said . . .

vaguely familiar.

Like a bad dream I've tried very hard to forget.

I'm freaking out

Crazy moves. Buddy puts on some weird glasses. Jake is gone,

Jake hasn't exactly

had his best night out of the season.

Did Peavy look pissed in the dugout?

Am I imagining that?

No

He knew what was up. He just looks pissed in game mode.

No, he's the pissy sort.

I mean

No, you're not imagining that.

It's not like he doesn't have

9 reasons. Or at least 3.

Jake's ERA

from 0.56 to 1.64

Talk to everyone later

nice meeting everyone for my first time posting here

Y'all come back now ya here.

Friggin' Iron Lady

He coulda had him at the plate

Our Team

has SO many problems fielding bunts....

We play

video game baseball.

Pierre is funny

Good to see the "strategy" worked

It's not really strategy

if he just bunts every time

wrong strategy

Okay i'm with you now

Mother#$%*%)^

I want a hitless inning. Is that too much to ask?!?!?

Make that "runless inning"

Dagnabit.

You got a hitless first batter

isn't that enough?

These 7:40pm start times suck

Can't the league do something about this?

hey its friday night

i dont know where i would rather be....we can stay up!!!!!!!

Yeah

10.40's a little late to be getting started . . . not that it's that different from 10.05 or 10.15.

back.. what did i miss??

I just had some falafel delivered....

who delivers falafel in sd?

Buddy of mine

He was grabbing dinner at The Kebab Shop and asked if I wanted anything.

Get down and give me 20

Two questions

when was the last time we had speed on the team? Who was the fastest Padre?

Crabbe by far

I meant of all time

unless that's what you meant too.

Gotta be Kingsale

RICKEY!!!

"Rickey's cleats are broken."

"This is Rickey...calling on behalf of Rickey."

I'd say

(1) Freddy Guzman
(2) Eugene Kingsale

id say

kerry robinson or the dr...made m cam

Guzman was the last true "speed guy " who got regular time (albeit for a brief time)

Kingsale was the fastest of all time I believe.

Wiggins

The first one.

Gene Richards could run, too.

In 2006 we were pretty fast

Cameron (25 steals), Barfield (21 steals) and Roberts (49 steals)

tied for 4th in the NL

Ozzie was really fast, too

Good JoB TRON!!!!!

One Straight Single...

startin a new streak

Uhhhh

Matty V: "At some point you'd imagine Tony Clark giving Adrian a blow at first base"

No at some point I DON'T

Very poor choice of words!

DAMN U MLB.TV

I missed mattys freudian slip! grrr!!!!!!!! id be lol rothfl lmao and whatever other letters i can puttogether

Hey now

For once it was OUR guy sliding into 2nd before the catcher can even release the ball.

That's why he should have pinch ran for Edmonds Wed night.

Come On Tad!!

Need a single to score!!!

mlb.tv

so delayyyed

OUUCHI GOOOCHI GOOOO!

Crabbe flies.

Are those like regular Crabbes that can fly?

Or flies that look like Crabbes?

Tadiguchi Single!

and

2 straight singles.

OK

HR here so Trev can stay in the bully.

yes

Oh.

Look who shows up. Think you can just waltz in here reeking of PBR and cheap perfume???

I smell of whiskey

and slow comebacks.

oh how tgh hates those dodgers, but doesn't mind too much lying on the floor.

Beach balls...

THER'S A BASEBALL GAME GOING ON, PEOPLE!!!

they already did the waive

waive?

lol...so cute.

My 2 neighbors

Giving the Padres a 2 run lead again....

Another beaut about living right by Petco.... ballplayers rent places in my building during the season.

This year, it's Tony Clark and Callix Crabbe. Last year it was Cla and KCam.

what building?

ICON

nice

my parents have a place at city walk (Market and State St). Jay Payton lived there when he was here, but that's as close to anybody famous that I know about

We will! We Will, stalk you.

Nope, not at all

But it's nice to have normal convos with the guys in the lobby, parking garage, walking the dogs, etc....

Stake out

for impromptu interviews.

Have I told you that I hate you?

/jealousy

Gotta second that.

Scared of Aid.

That looks like a SINGLE!!!

KoooooooooooooozzZZ!

Furcal got owned

Since the singles streak is dead,

go ahead and bring Ho in.

TOUCHDOWN...

...SANNN DIEEEEEEGOOOOOO!!!

SHOW ME YOUR LIGHTNING BOLT!

Shoulda went for two.

"SHOW ME YOUR LIGHTNING BOLT!!!"

"THE LADIES LINE IS OPEN"

"I WANT TO HEAR FROM A DODGER FAN!!"

"UP AND DOWN THE WEST COAST..."

"15 FREEWAY!"

" RANCHO PENASQUITOS! PACIFIC BEACH!"

"DOWN IT, FIREFIGHTER!!!"

Used to love to hear him say

Ranchoooo Penasquitos.... (since that's where I grew up)

Rome still makes fun of him for that

I love it when Romey does Smacksaw

It is ALWAYS funny when he does it

Effin hilarious!!

Saw Smacksaw a couple weeks ago when I was walking the dogs with the wifey.

Me: "Oh, I know who that is."
Wifey: "Who?"
Me: "I'll tell you when we get further away."
....... 10 yards later.....
Wifey: "Who was it?? Why didn't you say hi if you knew who it was?"
Me: "He's on the radio, and he's a douchebag, that's why!"

That's great

Does he still have helmet hair?

The funniest thing

He still has the same effin:
(1) haircut
(2) mustache
(3) glasses

that he's had since the 80s.... only difference is that the hair & mustache are pure white now.

ewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is funny.

Last time I was in San Diego...I had some extra time so I rolled by the station to see a good friend of mine who works in the afternoon. He took me back to Saw's office to say hello. I walk in and he has his back to the door.
Me: Smacksaw!
Saw: (slowly turns around) Oh, f**k.

Classic Saw.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Oh, you are so taking me with you next time :-)

Did you hear they started another sports channel? Wolfie is pissed and I have XX stickers to show my loyalty!

Yeah. XTRA.

That's where I was visiting.

You were just here again?

About a month ago.

I had a business trip to LA. One night and out the next day.

Fine

I'll forgive you this time.

July 16-21..Austin. Find a sports bar where we can watch the Padres game that Sunday :-)

What did I tell you about the rumors???

Rumors, facts, whatever

Yup

I think he's part of the main reason why everyone's on a delay now on sports talk in San Diego.

I swear... that dude had probably the dirtiest mouth out of anyone. He definitely needs some Orbitz, that lint licker!!

Smacksaw!!!

WHERE ARE YOU ON A FRIDAY??

I HAVE TWELVE PHONE LINES OPEN. FIRST TIME CALLERS. PADRE FANS. THE LADIES HAVE A TOLL FREE NUMBER.

LA MESA! ALPINE! RANCHO SKINYOURPENIS! I WANT TO TALK PADRES BASEBALL WITH YOU.

BUT FIRST, BIG NHL TRADE COMING OFF THE WIRES...

Time to pull another name out of the hopper

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!

ON THE HOTLINE! (sound of tape recorder eating first sentence)

Still a save Situation...

we need more!

the dodgers

are being eaten alive by an angry moth-vin

classic Scully

I think that hurt:

Scully: "Like getting eaten alive by a moth: 13 singles and a double."

The Padres are a Moth?

The mothiest

Hey I didn't know they made life-size barbie dolls that could walk

Oh wait accidentally switched to the Miss USA pageant.

You don't need to switch the channel to see that

they ARE playing in L.A. ya know...

We should give all the kids in africa maps

and such that...

That was Miss TEEN USA

give the programmers of these barbie dolls some credit

Drama

your line...

I got it...

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

My bad...I ws caught up in the Saw talk.

Here comes the Heat:

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

It's the one that saw Bad Mother...

Shut your mouth

does heat like cookies?

who did we call snacks? i was stalking u guys at the time so i forget

Royce Ring

was Snacks.

Snacks ain't' on the team no mo

Heat is cookie monster though

C IS FOR COOKIE AND COOKIE IS FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

MRMRMRMRMRMR!!!!!!!!!

and, yes...Heat loves cookies.

And freelunch loves the Heat

pitcher we got rid of....

Petco-d

porch...........thank u stupid la stadium!!!!!!

The heat

still hasn't recovered from Dusty Baker Syndrome from last season...

naw hes fine

his power is in his thunderous calves...talk about trunk man!

Alright I've staked out the ninth

The coast is clear for Hoffman.

No

we are going to score here.

We WILL score

Hey Shawne Merriman

On the Barbie show

is it still cool

to do the dance over there?

He asked the black barbie about a draft for the Iraq war

She didn't fall for it

The HO!

The CHP might catch us for speeding

We did hit a double and steal a base

pistache!

Yes!

I'm glad you remembered.

That sounds so vulgar.

Like some sort of watersport facial.

omg This interview portion is effing great!

So ridiculous

I see yur barbie show

and raise u Golden Girls....Mr. Terrific is on it!

I think they used to do it to show that the girls had intelligence

Now they do it as the comedy portion.

Hoffy is warming up!!

It's so bad

..that Alex just said he is nervous about Hoffy coming in.

Alirght, alright

Has anyone every bought a Nissan because Matt and Mark talked about it during a padres game in the ninth inning.

I'm still taking all the metabolife I bought cause Teddy Leitner told me to.

uhhh... Pacific Law Center.... ouhhh.

Don't you mean

The Kerry Steigerwalt "Crazy Eye" Pacific Law Center?

That guy

could read the paper and watch a ballgame at the same time.

Or, at Doyer Stadium...

He could watch the beach ball and the ballgame.....

BUT, the more I see his commercials, the more I think it's a glass eye because it does not move AT ALL!!!

It's just

CREEPY

"I love my hummer"

Me too, me too. My dealership is in TJ.

Supporting our slogan I see

What's your pleasure?

Lord Black's or Bolero???

"ouhhh... I have had my hummer for years and I love it"

whoa, now that is stamina.

Adelita's

A man who likes to cut straight to the chase I see

That was before I got married, but I hear from friends it's as good as ever.

I went in there once...

Probably about 10 years ago.

Walked in with about 7 or 8 friends and got a really bad vibe because it was sooooo effin crowded, and left within 3 minutes with 2 of my buddies to go to Frogs to drink some more.

been there twice with friends about 8 years ago

first time i was nervous as hell, scouting it out but too scared to do anything. Next time I pulled the trigger. It was fun, but not something I wanted to repeat anytime too soon. Then I met my wife. All in all, It's not something I'm too proud of.

hmm

anyone ever gone to a casino buffet cuz mark looks so sveldt with 15 plates of food?

I'd like to see the damage P-Keg could do in there.

the ho

probably wouldn't want to experience the effects that would have on chan-ho. remember the dl a few years back? casino buffet.

poor bastard

dude

Mark, P Keg and boomer....they would WRECK that place

LARD ASS! LARD ASS!

fum fabba fum fabba fum...

I love it.

Three run lead....Hoffy coming in...Dodger Stadium. This is gonna be great.

I can't watch

I told you I staked out the ninth

Everything is copacetic.

NAIL THIS, TREVOR

We believe entirely.

Right????

I believe

that he is currently pitching against the Dodgers

I'm so nervous

someone hold me.

I got you dude

anyone that uses a family guy quote as a sig line should be embraced

LOL

LOVE the boos

He yearns

for that retarded tomahawk chop....so he doesnt think they are boos

Fastball=Slowball

COOOOOME ON.

Oh, Pennsylvania Barbie lost

So did Oklahoma

Down goes Jersey

Andruw is getting KILLED up there.

They have 36 million reasons though

yeah

But you don't boo your own. It's not right.

I don't think they look at him like that...yet.

It's a beautiful thing

How do you walk Rookie DeRookie?

Trevor a BB??

Who'd a thunk it??

uh oh

Sweeney.......

SweenDog!

Um please be nice.

Vin LOVES Trevor.

It's sort of sweet, actually

Oh, totally.

Class recognizes class

Bye Bye SweenDog

If he hits it, it's a double...

Betcha

That Sweeney could fill us in on Idol

Totally went!

Buh bye.

Still the second cutest former Padre.

With a hat on, right?

That bald spot is very distracting.

Funny

How you go from the Mullet to the Yamaka (sp?) Head

Totally don't miss Sweeney

Hit Furcal in the face!!!

I am NOT pleased

Hoffman

loves his walks. MATT SHUT THE HELL UP.

Damn the D-Backs are on fire.

I know

check the latest ESPN.com Power Rankings.

the end-all be-all

of course

More importantly

Check their run differential. Like I said before. Upton makes me cry.

2 batters in a row

The first pitch looked good and he got squeezed

If Pierre homers,

I give up on baseball.

watch your mouth!

Oh wow

Black Barbie Wins!

It's because she's against the draft.

juan pierre

asshole in cleats.

reminds me of MIB

the shrunken head guy

For the Love of god trevor

the hair! we've been over this! yur in LA ....DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOFFMAN SUCKS

RETIRE RETIRE RETIRE RETIRE RETIRE RETIRE.

Breathe everyone

Breathe. It's going to be okay. I promise.

Deep breaths, Trevor.

Deep breaths.

F*CK

What's Robert got to do with anything?

this is really kinda sad

if i'm bard i'm telling him to put one in the dirt. seriously.

Funny.

I'm not worried in the least.

Who's your dealer?

You can hook me up, right?

I'll crush it up and put it in your mimosa.

I'll be honest

I don't feel too good.

I think I'm with you

Oh Come ON!!!

He was out!!

Who is ready?

for my diary??

THAT WAS AN OUT!!!

We'll get 4 outs this inning!!!

ONE OUT.

That's all you need, Trev.

One strike!

Wow that was a good pitch

Peavy showed him the Spitter

Keep the faith, people

Hoffman Saves

Hoffman Saves

...TTG withdraws.

Get in the box, ahole

Balsley Calling the Pen....

kent

jst flipped trevor the bird

If he hits it its a double

LOCK IT UP TREVOR!!!!!!!!!!

OH dear GAWD!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh

How TGH HATES Jeff Kent

Kent

will swing at EVERYTHING apparently

Come on, Hoffy

Shut those mutants up.

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU

He still needs to retire....

Never

Or at least not till he turns 50

GOT HIM!!!!

I can breathe now

Gotta run

The pooches have been bugging me for like 45 minutes to go outside.

G'night all... it's been fun!!

Take that,

you child molestor!

God, how I love to watch Jeff Kent fail.

Matty V says Kent is no good vs Trevor

Why do I not have those same memories?

Now you have a new one.

Thats a big F you Jeff Kent

God how I hate you......oops woke up the parents.........totally worth it tho!!!!!!!!

Still shaking

Thank God

My heartbeat was racing!

I take back

my references to Robert F*CK.

Nerves still shattered, though.

Heart condition

...you know, my dad had quintuple bypass surgery in Feb...maybe I should be more careful about watching these games now that I know there is a family history......

AAACK!!!!

Nah

The boys are doing their best to give your heart lots of exercise . . . to keep it healthy.

Hoffman's BAA

before the game.... .389. Goes UP after this "outing".

You know we won, right?

Yes.

You know opponents are hitting above .400 against our closer?

u know its still early, right?

Blah blah blah

allowed 4 of 7 batters to reach base....

Ignore him

He's prepping for his diary rant.

Shaking still

Trevor has to get 4 outs an inning

That's what it feels like, anyway

Agreed.

He does seem to get difficult calls.

G'night kids

I need my sleep to be ready for more of this...

I agree, though

that hoffy totally got 4 outs there.

I hate Blue almost as much as Edmonds.

He gets those first 2 outs so quick usually

and makes us beg and plead for the third.

I thought that runner was out at first, too.

Zito lost again.

Giants had three errors.

Four if you include Zito's contract

bah dum dum

Zing!

He pitched okay though

Wasn't a total disaster. The rest of his team though...

Really, what's left to say?

Nothing...

That's why there is nothing there.

Last time I zinged Molina....he hit 2 HRs

The Giants are a fantastic, top-to-bottom lineup! The best in the Majors. Make the Tigers look like a AA team.

Never bad to win a game when Kent is the last out

true dat

remember how he rubs out like clays number or someone making their first start at petco ? Tony said "Well that's a Dodger for you"

Jeff Kent is the guy who just cut you off in traffic

Lookie there!

That FanShot DID make the front page!

What the....?

never ceases to amaze me, the weird things that happen around here.

Nite guys.

Demoira can you start the dishwasher and turn off the lights in the kitchen?

Too early in the season to piss off Wiggins, man.

Right behind you.

Don't forget to fluff my pillow, please.

And then send me your cell phone number

so I can text you hot baseball stats while Drama sleeps.

ONE OF YOU *MUST* SEND A COMMENT TO THE POSTGAME SHOW.

i need something to calm me down from my heartattack

Well.............

time to hit the old dusty trail..........nitecap anyone? *knocks over lamp...drags bed over it*

Night"CAP"?

I'm just getting started. Who wants to watch the replay?

I think we have shut down the overflow

Nice work people.

ME.

I missed some bits and pieces.

Glad

Padres won

OMG!!

...went dancing last night, had a blast but you are guys are funnier than shinola!! Fantastic breakfast reading. Thank you!
