Sunday
This trip is not going well. Gee, ya think?
Fortunately, today we get to let the entire world in on our misery with ESPN picking up the game.
Today, I’d settle for a loss as long as we play well. Don’t have guys getting picked off, the relievers hold sway, get a few hits, stuff like that.
A bad trip like this is hardly something that sinks the ship. I think it was 2012 when we got our asses handed to us on a platter on a similar sweltering July 4th weekend. So no time to panic.
But that doesn’t mean I won’t have my finger poised at the ready to click the channel to something else if we come out smoking copious amounts of pole……
The additional WC has turned out to be a brilliant idea (which I grudgingly give credit to Bud). Basically, every team has a chance to make noise in the playoffs. The old paradigm of the rich clubs ruling the roost no longer applies. Why? Simply because any team can do damage in a short series. This is the primary impetus for the Padres making noise in the off-season, as it doesn’t take a really big improvement to get that 2nd WC.
With this WC #2 thing, they should extend the trade deadline to Aug 15…
Agree.
Told you guys earlier (5:06) I wondered about Cuzzy. Then the ball/strike fiasco happens, and we get Voggy and Bochy tossed. The guy is a total putz as an umpire. How can MLB get rid of these idiots?…
Schulman says Pagan’s left knee is an “absolute mess”.
Just DL the guy and get a player that is at 100%. The guy steals a bag, then can barely run from 2nd to 3rd. The lack of OF help from the minors is killing this team right now…
