I'd Like to Welcome You to the Carlos Quentin Show

Dear Padres,
You aren't supposed to be slump busters, you're supposed to be Cub Busters because my shirt that's older than I am says so.
Sincerely,
An annoyed, that you got swept by the Cubs, fan

The Padres take the 2-0 lead in the second thanks to a Deno two run home run and in true Chicago fashion the Cubs fan threw the ball back, well not THE ball back but A ball back. He threw it with all his might and it was quite hilarious. He literally put all his weight behind it and it was very, very comical to say the least. During the bottom of the second the Cubs continued to have their "anything you can do I can do better" mentality as they tied the game. Quentin wasn't having that as he also hit a two run home run to give the Padres back the lead. Unfortunately Quentin couldn't cut the ball off in the fourth and the Cubs got one of those runs back to make it a 4-3 ballgame. Once again Quentin hits a two run shot and this game has become the Carlos Quentin show. He is making the Cubs pitcher look like a little league pitcher... so this is what excitement feels like.

By the fifth inning Bass looked like he was donezo which became very apparent when he walked in a run. With the bases loaded and two outs Black calls on Mikolas, my lizard man, to get out of the inning without causing anymore damage. Unfortunately he walked in a run as well and our lead was cut to a one run lead. Now the hope of getting out of this inning rests on Hinshaw's shoulders. Cashner came in for the bottom of the eighth and gave up a hit, a walk and another hit to tie the game. Clearly, he doesn't like that Steph is gone. Alonso with his stupid lack of speed hit into a double play in the ninth which was promptly followed by a Quentin double. Thanks for fucking up the game Alonso, we could have had the lead back and I could have gone on to tan soon but no you hate me for hating you, it's obvious. Thayer gave up a two run walk off homer run and the Cubs win 8-6. I'm just glad the game didn't go into extras.

I fear with all these home runs the Padres have been hitting this series that it is tricking them into thinking they are a home run hitting team and that they will be trying too hard to do so when they come back to Petco this weekend.

Record: 17-35
