Padres vs. Giants: Open Thread 7/9

Drama — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 02:01:45 -0000

Honestly, I have no idea who the hell is even pitching tonight. Adrian? Is he our starting pitcher tonight? How can we put even more physical and mental strain on our best player? Let's convert him into a pitcher! Hooray!

So, Mud is wearing a pretty dope lid tonight...he even has a little press pass tucked into the brim.

What else is happening? Ummm...Demi Moore looks amazing in a bikini at age 46, Morgan Freeman is going to marry his step-grandaughter, TTG's favorite active player in baseball (Alex Cora) injured that sweet angel Erin Andrews...

OK. Go Padres!

Roy Oswalt takes on Josh Geer. I had a pretty good day today...work went by pretty quick. No one famous died today...which was weird. We're all bullshitting about MJ in the newsroom today and one of our reporters says "Yeah, it's so strange how these deaths always come in threes: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson - BUT WAIT! IF YOU ACT NOW I'LL THROW IN A FOURTH DEATH ABSOLUTELY FREE! THAT'S RIGHT! YOU GET MCMAHON, FARRAH, JACK-O AND BILLY MAYS ALL FOR ONE LOW PRICE!!"

Evil, right?

Go Padres!

But the good news is, the Padres have gone even longer without a 20-game hitting streak than the Rays -- all the way back to 1997 (in the pre-Trop era), when Tony Gwynn hit in 20 in a row.

Pardon the San Diego Padres for screaming at the sight of interleague play. They were swept last weekend by the Angels and outscored 26-7, and have lost 11 consecutive interleague games. They haven't defeated an American League club since June 21, 2008, and are 5-21 in their last 26 interleague games.
