Game #83: De La Rosa vs Maddux
San Diego Padres at Colorado Rockies, Jun 30, 2008 7:05 PM MDT
Nothing like feasting on a cupcake to get your mind off of being a cupcake. I never realized how cannibalistic the world of cupcakes was until just now. No wonder they have to be separated when you bake them. It all makes so much sense.
Go Rockies!

Huh...
I was totally unaware of this Gonzalez brother thing.
And there’s a homerun for one of them.
You could
just start posting tons of comments in order to catch up with Silverblood’s total. You may or may not have comment envy.

I'm not as concerned about the power drop
with our guys, the thing that concerns me most is that we aren’t using that spacious outfield and our doubles seem to be way down!
What are some of your thoughts?
Maybe I should
have said something about the doubles earlier in the season!
Bases loaded, two outs.
Surprise me, in a good way.

Sweet.
Finally taking advantage of another team’s mistakes, especially early in the game.
Is Frazier on crack
or has our two headed catching duo really out RBIed the middle of the lineup?

this is just getting unfun.
I’m done being mad, done being disappointed, done being displeased.
It’s to the point where I’m not having much fun watching baseball. Not because of the team and the losses, since I’ve dealt with that for a long time now. It’s because this is the worst I’ve ever seen them play, and its the best team we’ve put out there in our history.
I was there a month ago,
but somehow I still keep watching. It becomes fun again when the pain stops.
Yep.
I’m done with the pain, as I’ve seen it for years now.

This team
continues to find ways to hit low water marks. This season is going to be very ugly. After the AS break expect a major overhaul in all areas.
You have a team you cannot hit a lick and have them down and let them get 20 something hits and 12 unanswered runs and have lost 12 of 13. Sat night has been one upped.
by PinchHitLancePainter on Jun 30, 2008 10:14 PM MDT reply actions
This is at least positive.
The idea of a “major overhaul” after the All-Star break fills me with joy. I’m ready for gigantic changes. I just can’t muster the hope that it will actually happen. This team is pathologically “stay the course.” I hope I’m wrong.
After the All Star Break I don't expect anything to happen
sadly.
