I'm not too surprised that neither Dex or Mr. box (or, for that matter, Kev) put up a game thread. I figured that at least 'tec would have put up one of his "blah blah blah" pieces or perhaps jodes would have created a coherent one. Oh, well, I guess ol' TTG has to do everything for you people...

It's the top of the second; Adrian hit a two run blast and Garrett Jones responded in the bottom of the first with a solo shot, his twentieth of the year.

Oh, look... the one time I decide to show up for a game thread, there isn't one. I've been missing in action for the past couple of weeks since I've been compromising all that is holy to me and letting a beautiful young gal monopolize my time that I ordinarily devote to the Padres- what an effin' sellout!

So, it's pretty retarded that Latos is back out there, huh? That's what I thought, too.

Enough words yet?

Mr. box and Dexter are slackin'. Me, I've been awake since the seventh inning of yesterday's game and am hoping my "new" hat is lucky for us... Wooo! Go Padres! Do mean things to snakes!

Peavy is done with his half of the first now...

Jeez, I still need twenty six words... roster changes, huh? What do you guys think about that? Am I done now? Nope? Here are five more.

Man, I am still so amped up about our latest W and it's been over an hour since it went in the books. I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't too optimistic about our chances against the Reds after our dead week in Houston and Chicago; I just figured the Pads would stay at home dead- the last time I was anywhere near this happy to be wrong was probably ten years ago when it turned out that the head cheerleader did want to waste her time with some mohawked loser... This is the part where I say "but I digress" and get back to my original streak-related shpiel so anyway, I can't even narrow down my list of adjectives that describe this stretch; there are so many! These past four games have been- among other things- astounding, rad, killer, swell, nifty, badass... well, you get the idea. Every piece has been falling in place; guys who have been struggling have stepped it up, Bud has somehow avoided sabotaging us, our arms have shined both starting and relieving, and even luck has been on our side- it seems like we'd been getting jobbed by the umps and bad hops all year but the past few games we have caught every wicked break. I don't know how long this will last but I do know that I'm gonna enjoy every second of it!
