Amazingly quiet on my Facebook feed when it comes to Padres baseball talk. Being that I've been in San Diego for 20 years now, I have a lot of friends that are Padres fans. I guess they are already moving on to football. Oh, wait........
-
It happened a lot last night. But I guess it can happen a lot when you get on base as often as they were.

I can honestly say I've never done that. Heck, I've never 5 putted. Put me in coach! I haven't from that distance, but I've putted from one fringe to the other and then gotten scared and hit a bunch of short putts to the cup on a number of occasions. I am not a good golfer. I once had a 3 foot putt on a false front pin placement at Spyglass that went around the cup on the high side and rolled 30 feet off the green. Dumbest thing I've ever seen at a golf course. And I'm not referring to my putt, but the pin placement. Basically that means ANYTHING above the hole will roll off. So basically I knocked my second shot pin high and a soft bump for a birdie that turned into at least a bogie. I was so angry about my fate (I only brought a putter to the green from the cart), I don't even remember what my score was on that hole. Probably a double. I did 4 putt from 12' once. I think that's my worst effort. The pin was on a ridge. I putted a bit too hard and it caught the slope on the other side and I had another 12'er coming back. Caught the same slope and was probably 8 to 10 feet coming back from the original line and came up short that time. Ugh!

Schwarber: Fully torn ACL and LCL. Out for 172 meaningless games.

During the game last night, Len mentioned that Baez got drilled in the head by a pitch, which could slow his return to the big league club. Anyone know anything more about that? -
Very cool that the Cubs are averaging more than a run per inning so far this season. That's just fun baseball.
-
Still under 0.5 did we strand the bases loaded twice tonight? or just once? It was twice.
-
And the "highlight" of the day is gonna be Ernie Els 6 putting. I can honestly say I've never done that. Heck, I've never 5 putted. Put me in coach!
-
The one? There was more than one. Mashinter and Reaves ended up dropping gloves.
-
Hmm. Lackey with no HR's in 13 years. Time to fix that.
-
It's always fun when a guy admires his long single that turned into an out trying to stretch it into 2.
-
Actually, maybe I can get the game on MLB TV. They seem to be offering more games than EI.
-
Oh, I see now. I don't get the Cub game because that piece of crap MLB channel feels that the game that ends at 7pm should black out games that start at 6:40. Guess I'll have to watch the Blackhawks instead. Damn!
-
Where are all of the MLB EI games today? I was watching Cincy vs. Phi, but went to switch it to San Fran game and the only game I can find is Oakland. Boooooo!
-
Been raining here in San Diego all morning. Rain is in the forecast for the next week, which is quite weird. Anyway, I'd expect the roof to be closed for this entire series.

This is how I tend to see it, though it's possible I'm completely operating on bias as far as the severity of hangover stuff. Usually if I hydrate well, I avoid bad hangovers. If I don't, I get bad hangovers. How much of a role the quality of it plays I can't really say much on beyond my anecdotal belief that it might be better with good liquor. My last trip the bar was a Corona every hour for the first three hours, which is my general casual gotta drive home pace, then 6 shots of Tullamadoo as my buddy calls it in a matter of 30 minutes, more commonly known as Tullamore Dew. Call my wife to come and get me. It gets scary when everyone feels the need to buy a round. The beers also start going down a lot quicker during this shot frenzy, of course.

Cheap gin is good for one thing. It cleans glass amazingly.
-
Yeah, I've never heard that the buzz is better because you went top shelf over cheap well options. It's the after effects that make me stick to the top shelf stuff if I'm going to have a bunch of drinks. I also stay away from on tap beers, as the hangover from those are usually worse for me than bottled. That may be a myth, but my hangovers are worse on beer pumped through lines. Now, certain boozes tend to create different types of buzzes. I know some people who should never drink vodka again as long as they live. But they seem to be fine on beer buzzes, rum and whiskey. And then I know some people who should never drink whiskey. Tequila sneaks up on me too dangerously, so I gave that up in my early 20's. I'll sip a nice smooth expensive blue agave tequila, but I won't get drunk on it ever again. Puking in a urinal at a strip club at 3am at my bachelor party was a day I'll never forget. At least what I remember of it. :|

Leake just put a good one in Marte's kidney. That's gonna leave a mark.
-
Yes, but I seem to recall that Chase is more of a hitter's park with the roof open and more neutral when closed. And I know the schedule. Been trying to figure out a way to get to a game, but it's just not going to happen this time out west. Yeah, I believe its still a hitter's park with the roof closed, but becomes a bandbox when opened. Not that the Cub hitters need any help clearing the outfield wall or anything. I was just pointing out that there might be some weather.
-
Bad news. The game is tomorrow. Also Chase Field has a roof Yes, but I seem to recall that Chase is more of a hitter's park with the roof open and more neutral when closed. And I know the schedule. Been trying to figure out a way to get to a game, but it's just not going to happen this time out west.

Jonesin' for a line up. Maddon needs to get these things up quicker. I guess I'll go look at stats and see how our guys are doing so far. I'm sad we aren't averaging a run per inning anymore, but Arizona baseball should help that. Although there appears to be weather there while the Cubs are in town. I did learn how to get games on my smart tv, but there was both lag and a bit of jittery screen. That's through a Roku streaming stick. I wonder if it would be better going through my computer with an HDMI cable. I only toyed with it for a short period of time since the games are on MLB EI.

Jonesin' for a line up. Damn 7pm starts. -
Oh yeah, that other annoying red team.
-
I had his baseball card in many forms. he led the league in saves in '87 with a sweet ass beard. Saves were a relative novelty and nobody knew anything back then Without actually looking him up, i'm imagining it's Steve Bedrosian, and I think I remember him playing for the Cardinals and Braves, with his CY coming with the Braves as a closer?

7pm starts are awesome for us Californians. I'm so acclimated now that I feel a little bit annoyed I have to wait all the way until 7 p.m. for a sporting event. Yeah, I get what you are saying. But, there is generally something on starting as early as 4pm to bridge the gap. It's weird that 9 to 5 people on the west coast miss a good portion of their favorite team's games while they are touring the eastern half the continent. I love Sunday morning Bloody Marys at 9am while the pregame discussion kicks off for NFL weekends. I hated that in the days that I lived in Illinois, liquor stores didn't open until noon on Sunday and games started at noon, also. If you got too drunk on Saturday to save beer or remember to buy beer for Sunday, you missed the beginning of the game waiting for the clerk to lazily unlock the door so you could race in and race out. And standing there with the other poor souls with Bear's jersey's waiting for the door to be unlocked was just painful. And generally FREEZIN' ASS COLD.
