it's starting to look like Woody is the official #2 guy when Castro catches...

Apparently Beltran nearly made the starting lineup tonight. He's available to pinch-hit again.

Gawd those SD camo unis are ugly.

The Padres are going to be tough to beat today if they can find a jungle to hide in.

This opposing pitcher, Chris Young, is an interesting guy.

The ad behind home plate is disturbing. I think it's for Jack in the Box. Looks like a character from my nightmares.

I'm surprised no team has adopted that look as their regular uni. I kind of like the olive green hat though.

What's with the cammos anyway?

I don't mind the green...just the desert camo.

And while we have other threads going on about the Mets' trade strategies, how bad does Texas trading Young and Adrian Gonzalez for Eaton and Otsuka look now?

An awful lot of military bases in southern California. I think it originally started as a tribute to the many military personnel in the area.

There are several military bases in the San Diego area and each season the Padres have a millitary tribute night, hence the camo uniforms. Nice sentiment even if the uniforms look odd.

Hernandez is going to get a reprimand from his bosses (and deserve it) if he's not careful.
|
| smg58 Apr 22 2006 10:53 PM |

For those of you not watching this on TV, they showed the Padres dugout after the HR and there's a woman massage therapist on the Padres training staff. Hernandez made some half-serious but fully inappropriate comments about women not belonging in the dugout.

4-1 New York. One run scores on the X-Man's bases loaded double play, followed up by Cliff's single driving in Mr. Wright from third.

In ESPN's Gamecast, Ramon Catro's at bat never took place. Both the game log of plays and the boxscore skip from Nady driving in a run with the GIDP to Endy Chavez flying out to end the inning. At least now they have updated the score to 4-1.
|

I've tried the ESPN gamecast, but I still find it decidely inferior to the MLB gamecast. I used to like the ESPN gamecast of 4-5 years ago, but have stuck with MLB since. Still the superior interface.

Pedro cruising, he's retired everyone except Piazza so far.

Batting after the pitcher, Jose really needs to remember to take some freaking pitches. I think he's pressing, what with the slump he's in.

I've been playing around with both. Not really crazy about either one, but I have to have something for my baseball fix.

What channel did you see the CHW-MIN game on? I was watching WGN, and had to mute it. Those guys -- calling every player by their first name, ("Paulie playing behind the runner with 2 outs") actively rooting with every play are absolutely awful. Worse than Sterling even.

hooooweee! pedro is throwing filthy curveballs!
|
| Rockin' Doc Apr 22 2006 11:29 PM |

I was watching on WGN. Hawk Harrelson takes rooting for the home team to new heights (or lows). He actually said, "Come on Joe, take him out of here" during one Joe Creedy's at bats. I lived 5-6 blocks from Old Comiskey in the early 1980's, so the White Sox are my AL team. Harrelson was announcing their games back then, so I guess I'm accustomed to his being the ultimate "homer".
|
| Rockin' Doc Apr 22 2006 11:32 PM |

Wright is trying to tire Young out in this at bat alone. Hard earned walk in a good at bat by Wright.
|

12 pitch walk for Wright. Nice.

Eh, between him and Santo on the Cubs broadcasts it's nearly impossible to watch the local games. I've been living in Chicago for a good chunk of the past few years and still am astonished by how bad they are as announcers.

Hernandez plays the "get a sense of humor" defense on his "women should be in the kitchen" comment.

Pedro wastes no time getting out of the inning. Strange that Brazelton was allowed to hit.

Pedro at 96 pitches through 6 innings. I figure he gets one more before Heilman and Wagner.

Julio has pitched a scoreless inning in each of his last 3 outings. Granted, they were all in mop up duty, but he seems to be getting his act together. It would be nice if he could be trusted to pitch in more meaningful situations.
|
| TheOldMole Apr 23 2006 12:45 AM |

Julio may have it together at last.
|
| OlerudOwned Apr 23 2006 12:46 AM |

Lets see if Julio can put that 97 mph fastball on someone now.
|
| Gwreck Apr 23 2006 12:47 AM |

My thoughts exactly. Look, Brian Giles coming up 2nd next inning.

Listening to Diamondback's game on streaming radio - ex-Met Tim Hamaluck hits Luis Gonzalez in the head.
|
| Gwreck Apr 23 2006 01:00 AM |

Ouch. IIRC, Hamulack was ejected in a game earlier in the season for throwing a retalliation pitch (hitting Bonds).

I agreed until this year. ESPN Gamecast has improved by leaps and bounds and is now WAAAAY better then MLB Gameday.
|
| Nymr83 Apr 23 2006 12:52 PM |

ESPN gamecast has a much improved look this year, but it is usually anywhere from 1 to 3 batters behind MLB in my opinion.
|
| abogdan Apr 23 2006 01:01 PM |
|
ESPN's is much better this year, but it's just toooo big for my tastes. I can have the MLB gamecast in the corner of my screen and still have plenty of room on my screen to do other work. With ESPN's size and layout it's much tougher to do that.
|
| Rockin' Doc Apr 23 2006 02:02 PM |
|
I ran ran ESPN gamecast and MLB Gameday side by side last night for the final 3 innings. There was no appreciable difference between the two as far as the speed with which they posted pitches and results.. Pinch hitters and pitching changes were noted a little quicker on ESPN. The one thing I found annoying with MLB Gameday, was the ads being run between innings. I truthfully preferred the silent dimming of the screen employed by ESPN. Overall, I didn't notice much difference between the two other than their aesthetics and layout.
|

Hmmm, I've never used ESPN's GameCast, been using MLB since before the current version of GameDay!
|
| Frayed Knot Apr 23 2006 03:13 PM |
|
I think the game-cast (or whatever they call it) at CBSportsline.com is better than either of them. The others are too "busy" and the fact that they're far too interested in getting you to participate in their links, pop-ups, fan polls, and all other sorts of interactive cross-promotional nonsense makes them tougher/slower to both load and use.

In his book on the '85 season; 'If At First', Keith often admits to going through a lot of ciggies during a game (half-pack, maybe a pack?) but usually only a few puffs from each - more for nerve purposes than anything else.
Well there was no way he was getting past 1st base with Elaine if he didn't quit.
|
| Centerfield Apr 24 2006 02:25 PM |
|
Here is the amazing part...if Keith smoked 2.5 during the game, presumably he had a few before it as well. Pearlman's book details how they partied on the plane (ripping it apart) and then went out afterwards.
