The Padres- Nationals Running Diary

The Padres- Nationals Running DiaryKyle Casey is a guest contributor who wrote a running diary about the game between the Washington Nationals and his hometown San Diego Padres. Sean and Max and another guy named Finks watched the game with him.

10:05 Edinson Volquez looks kinda chubby.

10:06 (Finks): Edinson Volquez gained a lot of weight.

10:11 (Sean): There’s more concrete in the outfield than people. That’s kinda sad.

10:11 Chad Tracy is up. Sean thinks that Chad Tracy was a manager. Finks thinks he looks like Mark Mcguire. Max thinks Davey Johnson made the lineup and forgot that Chad Tracy wasn’t Ryan Zimmerman. All valid points.

10:14 what’s it called when a guy has a cameltoe… Sorry Bud Black.

10:15 Davey Johnson looks like a turtle with prescription Oakleys.

10:16 Apparently Chris Denorfia is our starting right fielder and 2 hitter. He also just hit it 394 to the 396 sign. Petco sucks.

10:19 Bold prediction. Both Edwin Jackson and Edinson Volquez throw perfect games.

10:20 I miss commercials from home: Call Corky’s Pest Control.

10:23 Absolute disgusting 2 seam from Volq freezes LaRoche. I just got a fantasy point with that K.

10:25 Scott Boras is eating sushi at a baseball game!!! Finks wants to see some wasabi.

10:25 Another absolutely filthy strike out. I love Edinson.

10:27 6 up 6 down. Prediction looking good.

10:29 The Padres are moving the fences in. Are you kidding me. Interim CEO Tom Garfinkel says “its not real baseball in Petco.” or something like that. Are you kidding me. The money we spend moving the fences in could have paid for 5 more years of Jake Peavy. Also Yonder Alonso just crushed a ground rule double into the 8 people in left field. Shouldda moved the fences in.

10:32 New official count on the people in left field. There were actually 9. Half were Padre fans. The rest were eating sushi.

10:33 A great swinging bunt by Odawg. Sean wants to know if thats as far as he can hit it.

10:34 (Finks): Cameron Maybin has an entire can of dip in his left cheek. Look at the size of that thing.

10:36 Unreal that Jason Bartlett is a big league shortstop. Hitting .163 and looks like a mouse. and just grounded out with a runner on 3rd to end the inning.

10:39 X Nady is back. Interesting fact. My grandfather lives in the house that Nady grew up in.

10:41 Mark Sweeny’s twitter account is literally called Sweendog9.

10:41 There goes the perfect game.

10:44 (Finks) There are more people in the sandbox in right field than there are people in the entire stadium.

10:46 After further research it has been discovered that Edinson Volquez has a higher batting average than Jason Bartlett.

10:48 Edinson looks like a hitter, until he steps a foot out of the box and crushes a swinging bunt down the third baseline. Out at first.

10:50 (Finks) two in the pinky! I like it (Talking about how Edwin Jackson holds his glove)

10:51 Padres announcers are talking about the virtues of ketchup. Not kidding.

10:52 Chris Denorfia works a walk. The 11 fans in attendance let out a small cheer.

10:55 Edwin Jackson’s best pitch is not his changeup

10:56 Odd play. Denorfia breaks to second on the 2-2 but Wilson Ramos doesn’t throw down because he thought the pitch was a strike. Ump disagreed and Ramos was pissed. No matter though as Headley strikes out anyway.

11:09 The san diego chicken just made an appearance.

11:10 Yonder just crushed a double. His second double. Somebody move the fences in.

11:16 Jason Bartlett just struck out on 3 straight pitches with the bases loaded. We’re not gonna score this inning. Now Volquez is up.

11:17 In any other stadium in the world, the fans are booing. Padre fans just don’t care.

11:31 (Mike) Why are they playing the Cinco De Mayo game on May 4th?

Ok, I’ve been at this a while and lost interest. Thanks
