Sorry for slacking, I didn't realize the game started at 10 this morning and opted to kick off my summer early by going to the beach before class. During my time at the beach I'm fairly confident that there was some sort of Zombie Apocalypse down there. No joke, there was some weird ass, super loud noise for at least five straight minutes. At first I assumed it was an airplane flying over like usual but it was a gazillion times louder and there were no planes in sight. The obvious conclusion is that it was a Zombie Apocalypse. Once I got home I was looking to see what time the game started and accidentally discovered that the game was already over and we had won. I guess this means I need to go to the beach every day during their games but if that's the case the Padres are going to need to start giving me gas money and other money to take care of all kinds of car problems that I know my car will have.
Venable started off the game with a double which apparently would be the first of a possible cycle from what I read on facebook. Obviously Alonso knocked in Venable to give us the early lead which is a small miracle because I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be possible for us to get to Strasburg. Strasburg loaded the bases in the first which is just weird to me. The fact that it started pouring during the game while I was lounging on the beach makes my heart happy that I don't live in a place where it rains, like ever. The sound of the rain falling on the field mics might just have been one of the most annoying sounds I have ever heard. Baker singled in Chase and Alonso to give the Padres a 3-0 lead. What on God's green earth is going on here?! Venable with a stand up triple in the second, leaving a HR and a single left in that mythical being known as a cycle.
I'm not entirely sure why they felt the need to discuss whether or not it was appropriate for Bam Bam to make a curtain call after his HR last night. Why wouldn't it be appropriate?! The crowd wanted it and he obliged. What's the big deal about that?? He is, after all, God's gift to the Nationals. Darnell with the HR in the third putting the Padres up 4-0 and I still can't believe we are beating Strasburg, well we beat Strasburg seeing as how I knew the final score before putting the game on. Oops. In the fourth Venable got the single, leaving him with a HR to collect and if I know the Padres, like I believe I do, that HR won't happen and the cycle will continue being nothing more than a myth. Also the whole seeing on facebook and twitter that he didn't get it thing influenced my whole "he's not going to get it" thing. Strasburg didn't make it into the fifth inning which is a miracle in and of itself. Growing up in east county he has to be completely embarrassed that he has given up four runs to his hometown team. He knows what the team is capable of, or should I say not capable of. Baker doubled in Hudson and the Padres now lead by five. I'm incredibly disturbed that Mark Grant said "yo" when he was talking about if anyone picked Baker in the pick six. Bam Bam gave the Nats their only run of the game with a HR and I think it's comical that he now has more HR's than Albert Pujols. Bass and Venable owned the Nationals today. Venable's fourth hit boosted his average and allowed the Padres final run to come around and score. Padres win 6-1 and get ready to take on the Dodgers tomorrow at home. A series I am going to be perfectly happy to stay at home and watch. I don't plan on dealing with any Cholas at all this season... unless there's a giveaway that's worth it.
Record: 13-24
