Frayed Knot Aug 03 2012 05:29 PM

Where: San Diego, California Who: Padres When: Tonight (late), tomorrow (not as late), Sunday (late afternoon) Record: Bad, as in worse than ours (44-63) and deservedly so (402 - 465 RS/RA) Stadium: Dog Kennel Weather: Perfect with a near 100% chance of being perfect Pitchers: Dickey vs Clayton Richard (7-11; 4.14; 1.21) Hefner vs Volquez (7-7; 3.51; 1.34) Harvey vs Marquis (4-6; 4.08; 1.35) Offense: Bad --15th in RS/G, 14th in HRs, 16th in BA, 12th in OBA, 15th in SLG Pitching: Average-ish -- 8th in RA/G, 8th in Ks, 11th in WHiP, and are the only NL team to use more pitchers (26) this season than the Mets (24) All rankings need to be thought of in conjunction with their pitching-friendly park Previous series: May 24-27, Mets win 3 of 4 Lose first 11-5 (Hefner’s 3rd ML start) then allow a total of one run over the next three games with Gee, Santana & Dickey doing the hurling. Which means now all we need is Gee & Santana. Lineup: Yes Feel free to add

Scott Hairston, Chris Young and Sandy Alderson were all Friars in their day.

Who are the only major leaguers to appear in at least 250 games for both the Mets and the Padres?

McReynolds is one, I believe. How many are there?

Robbie Alomar?

Chris Cannizzaro?

Mike Cameron? I'm not sure he got enough for either, but it might be close.

Rickey Henderson mebbe?

This is really tricky. I'm going through my head for everyone I can think of, and for some reason I keep coming up with Larry Stahl, who probably didn't play 250 MLB games total. And Jim Gosger.

Could it be a pitcher? Randy Jones.... Greg Harris ... Dave Roberts ... Mike Marshall ... Heath Bell ... I'd say none qualify

Teufel? I'm pretty sure he was on the Pods after the Mets, but I don't think he was there for long. I'm out of ideas.

Good quiz, batmags. I'll take an '84 road, thanks.

Edgy MD Aug 04 2012 09:20 AM Re: Quickie KTE - Padres Aug 3, 4, 5

I keep coming up with pitchers: Randy Myers, Bobby Jones. I know it wasn't Garry Templeton, so I got nothing. Seriously, who plays for the Padres?
