Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

32-33, Chart

No time to write anything tonight. This team is unbeatable. Here.

In the eighth inning, Brian Giles hit a foul line drive that nailed a guy in the section next to us in the forehead and brought out the EMTs. Brian Giles: turning San Diego against him, one fan at a time.

It's so nice seeing Griffey as a hero again.

Instead of the biggest suckfest three days in a row. I’ve almost forgotten about that series against Colorado already. That was last year right?

I actually bought a Betancourt t-shirt.

per Stone

for what its worth.

“Wakamatsu said that he thought Ken Griffey Jr. took some of the best swings he’s taken all year. He said Griffey made an adjusment that helps him use the whole ballpark, witnessed by his opposite-field double. He believes that bodes well for Griffey’s future performance.”

I know these are rarely true,

but when it is a player you like it is always exciting to see this a little bit.

...and now I'm here

Any idea how far Lopez' home run went?

Could be interesting to see him hitting a bomb just after you said he hasn’t shown that kind of power. Griffey did that to you a few weeks ago when you said he was finished.

I heard his homer was upper-deck…and San Diego isn’t exactly a small stadium.

Front row of the upper deck in left

Good shot, but not a bomb. Hundley’s homer was also deceptively short (but unthinkably impressive).

Sigh.

the Pirate Giles was much more fun.

Nick Hundley took out Scott Miller’s computer in the press box. The Padres as a whole are working on alienating the press corps.

Does anyone else find it fun

That Carp added more at the plate with his one walk than everyone but four other guys? Clearly, this is a sign.

by Jeff Nusser on Jun 18, 2009 8:55 AM PDT reply actions  

Sorry, three other guys

They didn’t teach us to count in English teacher school.

I was quite impressed by the composure Carp showed at the plate.

I also liked how the announcers made a comment about how many players have drawn a walk in their first ML AB, and went on to say that Yuni took almost 100 PAs before he drew his first walk.
