09.16.09 | i’m not dead… yet!

yikes… haven’t posted to the site in a LOONG time… work’s been keepin’ me busy… makes  me not wanna look at code when i get home

anyways… i’m 1-0 in both fantasy football leagues (2nd place in points in both also!)… thank you, mark for reggie wayne and baby sproles — i HIGHLY doubt that i can keep this up (esp with mcnabb getting broken)

oh and wtf is up with the padres? as mugatu would say, “those padres, they’re so hot right now”

they’re actually winning series against wild card contenders (but then drop 2 of 3 to the lowly d’bags)

crazy game tho today — gotta love that one dood named adrian gonzalez

2010 — padres return to greatness… or at least get a winning record (i’d be okay with that)

05.31.09 | we got hosed tommy… we got hosed

vote for pedro... i mean.. adrian

vote for pedro... i mean.. adrian

how in the hell does khalil greene have more votes than adrian gonzalez for the all-star game… yea yea it’s gonna be in st.louis… whatever — khalil’s not even an everyday starter anymore

oh yea… adrian’s leading the league with 20 homers…

btw… i’ve never seen a play go on the DL for social anxiety disorder (bigger market team freakin’ him out eh?) — i guess the d-train also went  on the DL for this too

him and maybe heath bell are worthy of going to the game… wish i could say more tho

05.25.09 | padres make it 10 in a row

how can the game NOT be televised — especially today… i found myself “watching” the game on espn’s gamecast (which is cool… but c’mon!)

this was a sik game… padres rolled into phoenix with a 9-game win streak

pads found themselves down early 5-0 after three… but an 8th inning rally tied it up… so they go to extra innings (AGAIN) — this doesn’t go too long though thanks to a chase headley homer in the tenth, followed by yet another heath bell save

check out this chart — it’s a win probability chart from fangraphs

pads win! pads win!

pads win! pads win!

this is a different team — look at the 7th/8th inning… padres just didn’t give up!

i have no idea what that bottom portion is — the graph going from zero to five… maybe someone could help me out with that part

then before today’s game, check out this stat — padres pitchers’ (both starters and relievers) have an amazing ERA of 1.64!

was that too much? probably — i’m no sports blogger… nor do i claim to be one

05.23.09 | meatwad get the honeys, g

welcome to the new digs… finally decided to change the layout (i’m sure chaunce is happy about that)

no idea if there are gonna be broken pages or anything, so just let me know — my qc guy is currently out of the country

i went with a more minimal/simple look to the site — and got rid of scripts that weren’t too efficient (like the accordian script that i previously had) — i switched it to the collapsible tabs

btw… could you tell that i like helvetica? i’m PRETTY sure it’s a font that all computers can read — if not, well then you see arial there… and you suck

in sports news:

padres are currently on a 7-game win streak — ridiculous

heath bell has 12 saves, adrian gonzalez has 16 homers

padres nearly traded peavy away to the palehose — which woulda been stupid… i get it — peavy makes a shizload of money and everyone says that he’s not gonna win any rings with the padres, but he’s our ace! he’s exciting to watch…

then on that same day, the padres traded away jody gerut for tony gwynn, jr. — this is a siiiik move… he’s super excited to be a padre, following in his dad’s footsteps. check out how similar they sound — CRAZY – maybe jr. will have similar game:

junior and senior

05.03.09 | ay bobby marley, sing something good to me

props to bill simmons — i was DYING when i saw this…

racism ftw!!1!eleven!

boom goes the dynamite!

saw pacquiao unleash his fists of fury on hatton’s face yesterday — whadda fight!! hatton was just too slow and couldn’t land any quality punches on the pacman

i love that picture tho — hatton was O-U-T with that left hook… it was like liddell (in his heyday) clocked him… good night!

the sick part is that my BIL (brother-in-law)’s brother bet (vegas) that pacquiao would win in the second round (40:1 odds, he put down $20 = $800!)

04.26.09 | sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken

holy crap i sucked terribly at picking draft picks today…

i do the espn streak for the cash thing, which is pretty fun… you basically are given several matchups and with each matchup, you make a prediction

so since it was nfl draft day, espn put a slew of draft-related choices… sounds easy? well… i thought so too… but apparently i was good at picking the wrong choices… check it out:

hey i got a streak of +5 at least!

04.21.09 | ryan, kneel down!

i kinda feel bad laughing at this… but serves colts fans right for trying to bust a beer bong at a chargers game

i love the different things that are shouted… that black lady must know something — “let it out!”

cuz i’m sure he’s trying hard to keep it in?

04.21.09 | yarr! it’s drivin’ me nuts

in honor of the upcoming homestand against the pirates of somalia pittsburgh, i’ve made a wallpaper (2 sizes, depending on the ratio of your monitor):

sinkthepirates_thumb

1280 x 1024
1440 x 900

on a side note, i made this one for myself — still sticks with the pirate theme, just a different type of pirate: 1280 x 1024

04.17.09 | don’t call it a comeback!

what a game! [box]

down 7-1 (five of which came in the first inning), the padres rallied like mofo’s to win it 8-7! such a good game, the padres decided to spontaneously break into an eiffel tower (picture below is moments before eckstein walks into the eiffel)

bell’s got 6 saves (out of 6 opportunities)… mainly throwing the cheddar… it’s awesome to see batters late and overmatched!

if you go to the boxscore, check out that bullpen action — helpin’ out young with scoreless relief

stay hot!
