Overflow: 04/?? Vs. Padres

Since I don't even know what day it is, and Russ went to bed... and we've gotten close to 1,000 comments in the existing thread, I figured I should do this instead. And since it needs to be 75 words long, I'll babble so we can move here, since breaking SB Nation would not be preferable. I expect that we'd get peeved about that, since we would then have nowhere to do said babbling.
Post here, all.

Nix
the fact that Nix is out of options doesn’t seem like such a big deal right now, does it? Seriously, outright him to AAA and let some other team grab him.
I’d rather see Quintinilla up here.

...for the next 18 hours, for all I care. All that matters is that they threw today, some of them for 2 innings.
By the way, I’m extremely disappointed and embarrassed for you guys because you didn’t score on Trevor Hoffman.

He wouldn't be as effective.
Webby’s signature sinker always breaks a lot less at Coors due to the thin air, which is part of the reason you guys are usually so good against him. Although now that he’s got that nasty changeup, he’s less reliant on the sinker.

Not at all.
It’d be damned funny, in fact. It’s sort of a Pyrrhic victory, since you burned up your bullpen as well—and had to watch 22 innings.

I fear I must turn in, as well. But before I go, thanks for 1. beating the Padres, and 2. taking a long time to do it, using up their bullpen arms.

SportsCenter
just led off with the Rockies/Padres game. They showed the fans flapping their arms, as was mentioned in of these game threads. I was highly amused.
They also showed a brief interview with Tulo:
Question: “Did you think the game was ever going to end.”
Tulo: “No.”
I was quite entertained by the entire segment.

I asked you guys to abuse the Padres bullpen, and you did. I mean, I knew the Padres were doomed when their fans started doing the wave, but, seriously, above and beyond the call of duty. Nicely done.
