Brett Tomko, just what we need

The Padres are bringing back right-handed pitcher Brett Tomko for a third tour.

Cut loose by the Royals 11 days ago, Tomko is to join the team's bullpen. He also pitched for the Padres in 2002 and 2007. With the Royals he was 2-7 with a 6.97 ERA in 16 games, 10 of them as a starter.

Jackass Presents: Mat Hoffman's Tribute to Evel Knievel

matto619 — Tue, 27 May 2008 19:47:03 -0000

This ridiculously awesome DVD just came out today. It has great motorcycle stunts (including one with a midget!) and my personal favorite: JUMPING OUT OF A PLANE WITH NO PARACHUTE!

Even Evel Knievel wasn't that crazy. Other highlights include Johnny Knoxville totally wiping out and the motorcycle landing on his junk. I figured this is an absolutely perfect DVD for the slew of Uncommon Sportsman readers out there.

Dodgers party with whores and Vince Vaughn at Steel Panther concert

So I was at the Key Club last night seeing Steel Panther (formerly Metal Skool). Rocking show as always.

A bunch of the Dodgers were there...with Vince Vaughn. They were in the VIP section with a group of extremely classy-looking ladies. They got called onto the stage and sang with the band. I have six terribly blurry cell phone photos for you to enjoy. The depicted are Vaughn, Brad Penny, and Russell Martin. Mark Sweeney and some other jerk Dodgers were there, but I can't remember who. Enjoy the photos.

Russell Martin looking bored.

Month of May Beard goes 2.0

matto619 — Thu, 01 May 2008 14:52:09 -0000

As some of you may remember, last year in an effort to boost the performance of our team, I oddly made the choice to grow a beard during the month of May. Despite the fact that this is something normally reserved for playoffs - especially hockey - it proved to work wonders.

So I've decided to make it two years in a row with the Month of May Beard. Although I cannot take full credit for the team's success during this traditionally glorious month for Padre baseball, it certainly didn't hurt, right?

Anyways, I won't have time to post photos of my progress due to a clusterf*ck of busy-ness I've got going on this month (new job, new apartment, a bachelor party, a trip to SF). And besides, you guys already know what I look like with the chops. Just take a look at my avatar.

Also, this isn't meant to be a one-man show. The more beardo's we have, the better. So toss those razors, fill the fridge with Dos Equis, and watch the wins pile up.

GO PADRES!

Dodgers Stadium Report for 4/11 - 4/13 Weekend Series

It's that time of year again. Here's the thread where you share your experiences and maybe post of a few photos from the most god-awful of enemy territories. For those that do go, please be careful. I'll do my best to not get into a scuffle, but I can't guarantee that due to the unpredictable and asinine behavior of the Dodger "fans."

So, let's go Padres! BEAT L.A.!
