Some of you have tweeted me to ask why I stopped writing mid-season, which was just weird because I didn't think anyone actually read this or gave a shit about it. Either way, the answer is simple, I was no longer having fun with this, Twitter, the Padres and everything in between. You kind of lose any motivation you had when your team plays like shit and people you considered friends go out of their way to be an asshole to you while your world feels like it's falling apart. With that said, I kept trying to convince myself that I would start writing again before the regular season ended and well, it's now the postseason. Oops.
As I said, I was no longer having fun doing this. Part of that was because of all the shit that I'm failing miserably at dealing with in my personal life (no thanks to the aforementioned friends) and the other part was because I was tired of the redundancy. Every post was the Padres suck this or the Padres suck that. Those are the most annoying things to write after the first gazillion times, especially when the Padres went from being so close to first to being in last and eventually tying for third. Another thing that caused me to essentially give up on this was the constant bickering between fans that flooded my Twitter timeline. Arguments from grown ass men about a players nickname, whether or not a player was hurt worse than what the Padres training staff initially said (which they were by the way and yours truly announced it but you know, I was wrong because I'm just a girl that doesn't know shit about injuries because it's not like I studied that stuff and have a weird fascination with it or anything) and how not going to every game doesn't make you a real fan. It was so ridiculous that I couldn't believe it was actually happening. Yes, there were definite troll moments in there but I repeat, GROWN ASS MEN. Mix a difficult year with shitty playing and arguing over trivial things and you get a nonexistent blog... or an extremely negative blog and I had enough with the negativity so I opted out.
I wish I was able to put aside my moods, the idiocy of grown men arguing and everything else in order to focus on the Padres but I couldn't. To put it this way, between all of that I started to really hate my fellow Padres fans. I've joked before that we are bitter assholes because San Diego doesn't win anything ever but it has proved truer than true this year. I couldn't handle the constant bashing of Puig for the sole reason that he got national attention for having a legit season as a Dodger. That was so ridiculous that I wanted to punch people in the throat. Things like that pushed me away from being a Padres fan and to just being a fan of the game. Screw what team a person plays for, if they are talented I'm going to cheer for them. Well, maybe not necessarily cheer for them but I won't hate them and if you hate them solely based off the uniform they're wearing then I will like them that much more... I'm kind of a bitch like that. You know damn well all the praise Puig received was deserved and you would not act that way if he had Padres written across his chest instead. Now that doesn't mean I'll be cheering for the Dodgers in the postseason because well, I'd rather die than ever do that. Another thing that made me hate fellow Padres fans was the constant comments about Sandoval being fat. Yes, we know he's fat but let's see you make the plays he does. If you follow my twitter you know that I have this weird thing with people being overweight. I hate it and think it's disgusting that people let that happen to themselves but stop trying to talk shit about an athlete that can out perform you or your team just because he's fat. It's a little thing called respecting the talent, you should probably try it. I for one am not really a Sandoval fan but I recognize the talent, respect it and wouldn't mind it one bit if he were on our team.
Now that I've sufficiently annoyed myself by doing exactly what made me stop writing to begin with, complaining, I'll try to get back on a Padres track. This season had ups and downs and injuries all around. Chase turned out to be playing with a torn meniscus which just pisses me off to an extreme. Why risk further injury when your team is nowhere near being in the playoffs?! I'd rather you get the surgery and give us a chance at a better draft pick than you fucking up your knee or what have you just because you're a stubborn athlete that wants to play. Same goes with Marquis. I find it extremely hard to believe that he just magically needed Tommy John surgery. Stop playing through the pain when games are meaningless. Not that I condone playing through the pain when they aren't meaningless but at least you don't look like a giant idiot when you do so and the games mean a chance at the World Series... though at that point, I'd rather you be healthy for the WS than fuck yourself up worse and not be of use for the playoffs/WS but who am I kidding, it's the Padres, it will take some time before we get there.
Cory has had more setbacks than we would like and that is heartbreaking. I pray that he is ready for spring training and will be able to be a solid part of the starting rotation next season because like I've said countless times before, you can't win games without pitching. We desperately need a solid pitching staff. Oh yeah, thank you baby Jesus that we let Volquez go. Though between Grandal's suspension and season ending injury, Alonso's injuries and letting Volquez go, it's really proving me right about that stupid trade. Especially since we saw what Medica was able to do when he got called up and Blanks when he was healthy. I still don't think the trade was worth it but what am I going to do?? I'll still go to games and cheer on the players because they are Padres and I'm obligated to. Anyway, Kotsay retired at seasons end which is very disappointing for my sister who just discovered him and couldn't figure out why no one told her how hot he was. True story, I got texts about that. Oh yeah and Quentin had his gazillionth knee surgery too and Maybin had wrist surgery. This damn team is made out of glass.
All in all, I'm glad this season is over with but I'm not quite sure I'm ready for next season to start. I need a significant improvement in my mood and a thorough cleansing of my Twitter feed before I can even think about next season. As for now, I'll try to enjoy the postseason. If we're lucky, I might pay attention to off season news and write about that or just grace you with the presence of a random post about how I'm going through baseball withdrawals. Baseball withdrawals are a real and serious matter, folks. Seek medical attention, or your nearest baseball fan, immediately if you're experiencing baseball withdrawals. Side effects may include; complaining that your football team only plays once a week or has a bye, watching hockey or basketball to get your daily sports fix, staring out the window waiting for spring to come and making deals with the baseball gods just so you can have the smell of freshly cut grass fill the air again.

The Injury Bug Strikes Again
60 day DL is baseball for your season is done... But wait, Yasmani only sprained his knee. BULL FUCKING SHIT. For one, you don't have that much pain in your face as he did after he got hit with a sprain. Two, you can put weight on a sprain, though uncomfortable, and don't need to be carried off without that leg touching the ground. Notice how every other person that has sprained anything in their leg, limps. There was no attempt of that. For three, if it was just a sprain they would have left it as saying he sprained his knee and not that he has knee damage. Damage to me sounds way more serious than a sprain and since he did get placed on the 60 day DL, I'm gonna say it's way more serious than a sprain.
I called the injury the moment I saw it yesterday. I said he fucked up either his MCL or LCL and hope that he didn't tear anything but I knew it was more serious than a sprain. Original reports mentioned it was his ACL and MCL. I have also seen reports saying ACL and PCL but I'm having a very hard time believing, with the direction his leg went, that he screwed up both his ACL and PCL. In order to cause damage to those ligaments, you'd need to get hit from the front or the back to blow them out. Yasmani, very clearly got hit from the side, the medial side at that.
I'm really getting tired of calling the injuries the Padres are having and being right about them. Though it's not official that he has torn anything and won't be until tomorrow, I have the worst feeling ever that he did and had that feeling yesterday as well. Let us go back to when Alonso got hurt and the Padres tried to tell us for a few days to like a week that Alonso only had a bruised hand. I said from the moment he got hit that he broke something. Fast forward to Alonso being placed on the DL with a broken hand. I win this game. I've also called hamstring strains among other injuries in the last couple seasons. I'm pretty sure the Padres need to put me on their staff. Though I don't have the necessary degree... yet, I clearly know what I'm talking about. I mean, it's not like I wasn't going to school for this or anything.
Record: Not even close to where we want it to be

Hello, Nostalgia
There's just something about watching videos of the '98 season and seeing the players be driven onto the field that made me need to write a post... and want to cry. Definitely, wanted to cry. It's a good thing I wasn't at the game or I definitely would have. It was so amazing to see some of the old team like Vaughn, Gwynn (obviously), Finley, Davis, Ashby, etc. but it is always heartbreaking not seeing Cami. It's no secret that Caminiti is my all time favorite player so seeing the videos with him and even hearing other players talk about him definitely made me tear up. Cami has to simultaneously be the best and worst athlete to look up to. AMAZING player, steroids and drug addict. If that doesn't scream best and worst, I don't know what does. Along with members of that fantabulous team, we even have Proctor broadcasting the game tonight. I might not remember listening to him when I was 10 but I'm loving every second of this. Can he do this for us forever?!
What I do remember is getting picked up from school and being so excited to see that my parents had bought me a NL championship shirt, wait 2 shirts. Neither of which fit me then or now but man, you would think I had died and gone to heaven with how excited I was. It just hit me that I'm basically 10 again tonight. It's a friday night, my mom is working late and me and dad had McDonalds for dinner. The only thing missing, gymnastics practice. Hello, nostalgia.
Three innings into the game and the Padres haven't shown up yet... six innings into the game and the Padres haven't shown up yet. I'm going to say that we are extremely nervous to be playing in front of such a fantastic team. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm also convinced that the broadcast is intentionally trying to make me cry. No more Cami stories!! I can't take it but I love them but I can't, I just can't.
Six innings and FINALLY we show up. Logan with a two run single to give the Padres the 2-1 lead. THANK YOU. That would be all we need as the Padres go on to win 2-1 with a Stults complete game. Despite the low score and the basically nothing happening for most the game, this has to be one of my favorite games of the season.
Happy 15th anniversary, '98 NL Championship team!!

Cycle Watch 2013: The Struggle Is Real
It's been a long time yet again but I'm not sorry anymore. I can barely concentrate to watch games much less blog about them. However, Cabrera single handedly made me want to write this post tonight.
The Padres were down by 2 early in the game and with a Padre at third and two outs, Cabrera absolutely killed a ball to tie the game. One of my friends tweeted that Cabrera told that ball 'good day, kind sir' to which I responded with something along the lines of "I'm thinking more like Fez, 'I said GOOD DAY!!'" and we all could see him saying that like Fez too easily. So from this point on, Cabrera will forever be called Fez.
Cashner promptly erased Fez's HR to make it 4-2 D-Backs. Q scored on someone's base hit. I can't remember, I was eating but Fez is on his game today and doubled to make it a 7-4 game in the fourth. Oh and not to mention, he stole his 100th base earlier in the game and is a triple away from the cycle. We all know how possible this is for him to do but he is a Padre so that works against him BUT it is only the fourth inning and he's already been up three times. Oh and it's an away game so it's only logical the Padres do something epic while the majority of their fans aren't there. So will this be the day the Padres say good day to the cycle?! I kinda hope so.
Oh yeah, Q changed his stance after the ugliest "slide" into home ever a few games ago. It's super awkward looking now but supposedly it's taking stress off his knee or some shit like that, I kinda ignore the in game commentary. Despite the ugliness of his new stance, it seems to be working because it seems that every time I look up, he's on base. With that said, I'm not convinced that he is healthy enough to be doing so much running. Not convinced at all. With the bases loaded, Hundley gets a bloop single to score two more, making a 9-4 game in 5.
Fez leads off the 6th and does a whole bunch of nothing with it. Boo!! And of course since it's cycle watch, Grant brings up the fact that Tony Gwynn was a single away from the cycle and taken out of the game. We know, Grant, we know. You say this EVERY TIME a cycle is even thought about. We get it.
Fez gets one more chance to do what no Padre has ever done. Please don't let this stay a mythical beast any longer. I'm talking to you baseball gods. While we wait for the 9th, they continue to remind us that they are looking for a new FSSD girl. I've debated doing it because why the hell not?! I can be fake just as easily as they could. However, I'd probably go crazy trying to hold in all my sarcastic and bitchy comments, not to mention my favorite potty words, oh yeah and I still don't get the purpose of them. Though it does seem like it would be interesting to do.
No cycle for Fez. Motherfucker!! The struggle is real and the cycle is an elusive bitch. I'm beginning to believe that it's all just a figment of our imaginations. That is the only logical explanation. The Padres scored one more run but I didn't see it because I'm too depressed about losing the cycle. Well we in 10-4 like bosses but damn, not getting the cycle hurts.

Holy Disappointment, Batman
It's 80's night and the uniforms aren't the ugliest they could find but they are close.When asked what Chase thinks about the unis he said, "It's bright. I think it's fine. I'm definitely not a fan of bringing it back for good". I'm glad to know someone on the team has a brain. This Bring Back the Brown shit is just that, shit. Leave the Brown for retro night. Frankly, this team isn't deserving of the Brown or the Pinstripes.
Padres score two to start the game on what I assume is a single and a two base error. I could really care less right now. I still haven't found my muchness that allows me to really care. LaRoche doesn't like to see the Padres win or anything because he just hit a three run home run to give the Nationals a 3-2 lead in the fourth. How fucking rude.
Oh hey, yeah the Nats hit another homerun which totally wouldn't have been out last season. Super glad we moved in those fences because ya know, they have been super beneficial for us. For a team that doesn't have a very good offense, you'd think the majority of the home runs we have hit would have been aided by the new dimensions but they haven't so what the fuck was the point of moving them in anyway ! Also, fuck you LaRoche for hitting yet another home run tonight and now it's 5-2 Nats.
Gyorko hits himself a home run to make it 5-3 in the bottom of the 6th and I still don't care and want to turn the game off as well as the internet. Nothing exciting has happened since the 6th... until now, Chase singles in Deno to make it 5-4 Nats. Alonso singles to move Chase to third followed by a Blanks single to drive Chase in and tie up the game. Into extras we go!!
Street comes in to pitch the 10th and gives up a home run that again, wouldn't have been out last year. Super. At the most, that ball could have been robbed last season. Meanwhile, the Nats put Storen in to pitch the bottom of the 10th and I can't focus on anything but his junk. Put that away, no one wants to see that right now. Somehow the Padres put runners at the corners with one out but I can't tell you how because holy Storen junk. However, we lost 6-5. With tonight's loss, the Padres have fallen down to Dodgers status. Holy disappointment, Batman.

Big Whoop
No post yesterday because my ass was asleep. 9:30 am games are rude as all hell but yes, we swept the O's.
To end the first inning Bryce Harper, hit into the dumbest double play ever. It was so illogical that I can't even understand why he did what he did. It should have been an easy double play but Cabrera threw it in the dirt and it got past Alonso so Harper took off for second. Sounds like no big deal, right?? Wrong, the ball didn't go far enough away for him to advance yet he did anyway. We all know he is a great player for his age which leads me to believe he hit that wall a lot harder than we thought.
LaRoche gets the scoring starting with a two run home run in the top of the fourth consequently giving the Nationals the 2-0 lead. Boo. Shit, something happened and now it's 3-0 Nationals in the 5th... I was preoccupied with something else so I missed it. Yikes, a two out, two run single puts the Nats up 5-0. You can go ahead and pull Volquez any minute now. As if I didn't hate Volquez enough as it is, he's at 84 pitches to end the 5th and Latos, went into the 9th with 80 some pitches. Yeah, the trade is looking super good.
The Padres have the bases loaded and one out to hopefully kick off our scoring because we fucking need this. So we scored one, I'm not happy with that. You have the bases loaded with one out and you only score one run?! You deserve to lose the game. Chase scores in the 6th on a Deno sac fly to make it 5-2 Nats. Big whoop. Well fuck a duck, Harper just murdered that ball to the deepest part of the park. He might looks like the biggest douche ever but you can not deny his talent. He didn't seem pleased at all with that home run so ya know, he's probably going to beat up the batters eye after the game...
We lose 6-2 or whatever the hell it was and I'm not too mad because Grey's Anatomy is on tonight!!

Y'all Ready For This
It's been a short lifetime since the Padres have had a game and a slightly longer lifetime since I've written about a game. Well, today, I'm writing... kinda. The only reason I decided to write today is because I get to watch JJ Hardy during this series.
As you know, after we swept the Marlins, we flew to Florida and got swept by Tampa Bay. I guess Tampa didn't enjoy us beating up their little big brother. I say little big brother because the Marlins are the older team but they have the feel of the younger annoying sibling that is always screwing up things.
Q gets the game started with a solo shot to start the Padres half of the second to answer why he was chosen for pick the stick. The Padres load the bases with two outs in our half of the second only to strike out and end the inning. Can we stop it with the strikeouts?!
Welp, while the broad was interviewing Gyorko's family, the O's tied the game at 1 with a solo shot of their own. I think this means she's not allowed to talk anymore. There's been a whole bunch of nothing since the 2nd inning, it's the 8th now. Well, some defensive plays that I missed. Go figure. Finally something happens. Unfortunately it was the O's that scored in the bottom of the 8th. This might be one of the fastest AL rules games I have seen and I still hate it. Every last second of it.
The Padres looked to have something going in the 9th so Black opted to pinch run for Kotsay. Because ya know, putting Blanks in to run for Kotsay makes perfect sense when Alonso is the lead runner... speed behind slow is always helpful. *Sigh* It didn't matter anyway since the Padres hit into a double play and eliminated the speed. Deno tied the game at two with a two out single and it looks like it's gonna to be awhile longer before I get to make my double chocolate muffins tonight. Cabrera drove in another run to make it 3-2 and Hundley got in a rundown to end the inning instead of chilling at second and possibly continuing the inning.
Street comes in to pitch the 9th and the O's start playing one of my old gymnastics songs, asking, "Y'all Ready For This" to which I found myself answering with a giant "No". I'm NEVER ready for Huston to come in and pitch, never ever especially after the Tampa Bay incident. Speaking of which, Street walking what should have been the last out is eerily familiar and I don't like it. STOP IT!! Thank God, it didn't end the way it did last time. Padres win 3-2 and I'm still against the damn DH and being forced to watch boring baseball.

Because ya know, putting Blanks in to run for Kotsay makes perfect sense when Alonso is the lead runner... speed behind slow is always helpful. *Sigh* It didn't matter anyway since the Padres hit into a double play and eliminated the speed. Deno tied the game at two with a two out single and it looks like it's gonna to be awhile longer before I get to make my double chocolate muffins tonight. Cabrera drove in another run to make it 3-2 and Hundley got in a rundown to end the inning instead of chilling at second and possibly continuing the inning.
Street comes in to pitch the 9th and the O's start playing one of my old gymnastics songs, asking, "Y'all Ready For This" to which I found myself answering with a giant "No". I'm NEVER ready for Huston to come in and pitch, never ever especially after the Tampa Bay incident. Speaking of which, Street walking what should have been the last out is eerily familiar and I don't like it. STOP IT!! Thank God, it didn't end the way it did last time. Padres win 3-2 and I'm still against the damn DH and being forced to watch boring baseball.
Record: Still better than the Dodgers
