[Guest *62]

endy should be hitting ninth

[Guest vtmet]

it's starting to look like Woody is the official #2 guy when Castro catches...

[Gwreck]

Apparently Beltran nearly made the starting lineup tonight. He's available to pinch-hit again.

[TransMonk]

Gawd those SD camo unis are ugly.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

The Padres are going to be tough to beat today if they can find a jungle to hide in.

[Gwreck]

This opposing pitcher, Chris Young, is an interesting guy.

Went to Princeton (Political Science degree), played Center on the Princeton basketball team; was offered a contract by the Sacramento Kings to play professionally.

[Willets Point]

The ad behind home plate is disturbing. I think it's for Jack in the Box. Looks like a character from my nightmares.

I'm surprised no team has adopted that look as their regular uni.

I kind of like the olive green hat though.

[Theoldmole]

What's with the cammos anyway?

[TransMonk]

I don't mind the green...just the desert camo.

It feels like I'm watching an 80's action flick where SD are special forces and the Mets, in their black unis, are fighting ninjas.

I can't wait until Chuck Norris pops out of the bullpen.

And while we have other threads going on about the Mets' trade strategies, how bad does Texas trading Young and Adrian Gonzalez for Eaton and Otsuka look now?

[Guest cooby]

Are you serious, it's really camo?

[smg58]

And a big KABOOM for the X-factor against his former employers!

[Gwreck]

Nady!

They do them annually in respect to the area Naval Base(s).

[TransMonk]

X goes deep...gets a run for Pedro early.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

X-Man says Ka-Boom!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

An awful lot of military bases in southern California. I think it originally started as a tribute to the many military personnel in the area.

[Willets Point]

There are several military bases in the San Diego area and each season the Padres have a millitary tribute night, hence the camo uniforms. Nice sentiment even if the uniforms look odd.

Nice homer by Nady.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Nady! 1-0 Mets

[Guest cooby]

Well if that's the case, then it's pretty neat!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Viva Castro!

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Castro-Boom!

Back-to-Back, 2-0 Mets

[smg58]

Back-to-back thanks to Castro. 2-0 Mets.

[Willets Point]

Back to Back kabooms. Me likey.

[Gwreck]

Back to Back!

[TransMonk]

Ramon goes yard...2-0 Ninjas.
