Sometimes things get a little fuzzy after a night in the pub. Here’s a friendly reminder of what you might have missed while you were drinking.
No-hitter.
9-0.
Did I miss anything else? F**k it. I’m going to keep drinking.
The Padres play their last game before the All-Star break today at 1:10pm PDT. Eric Stults starts against the Giants’ Barry Zito.

Quotes:
“The team’s pissed! The team is pissed off! You know, we’re not swinging the bats, we’re not pitching. You know, we’re not playing the way that we can play. There’s no doubt about that. We’re not getting it done! Bottom line. We’re not getting it done on the mound, we’re not getting it done on the plate…but we’ve got to get it done. We’ve got to get it done on the field. We’ve got to get it done in the clubhouse, coaches, myself…We all gotta get it done. Okay?”

“No, not really…”
Jedd Gyorko, answering Kelly Crull‘s question of “When you witness something like this, is it impressive?” – (Fox Sports San Diego)
Something, something, “two strikes.”

Alexi Amarista might be too short to play CF. Also, not good enough. #PPLive

Lol. I just deflated a beach ball. Got boo'd. Giants fans are the new dodgers fans.

So now Dick's narrative is Padres caught the Giants at the wrong time? Sure, because you never want to play a team that had lost 16 of 19.

This is all SpongeBob's fault. #PPLive

And we thought losing 14 of 15 would be the worst thing that could have happened… #PPLive #Padres

The stadium overtaken by SF fans, a no hitter, and like the millionth loss. If this isn’t rock bottom, I don’t want to know what is. #PPLive

Sorry, Bill Center (aka, Sez Bill). I had to.
