Brad Penny finally struck out a guy! I’ve got a good feeling about tonight!

Not feeling good anymore.

Greg Dobbs? Nice job, Penny.

Right now I think I’m glad I chose Bionic Commando over the first inning.

I was thinking you meant the movie Suburban Commando for a second.

If shooting guys in the face with a grappling hook is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Does it get stuck in their faces?

by Tango and Cash on Aug 13, 2008 7:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

No, they just kind of bounce.

What should happen is it should get stuck in there, and then the guy should say something like “Who will put my boy through college now?” then fall down dead.

That’s pretty morbid for a game about killing Hitler.

Penny shaved his rich, luxurious head of hair.

Dang, it really looked like Kemp was going to get that.

On the bright side, going to go get food seems like a better idea.

Nice waste of an AB by making Penny try to bunt. Just because pitchers can’t hit doesn’t mean they can’t bunt.

by Tango and Cash on Aug 13, 2008 7:48 PM PDT reply actions  

Welp, tonight might not be our night. In other news, Penny looks like shit.

by the big grabowski on Aug 13, 2008 7:50 PM PDT reply actions  

And at least there is no more ‘Borg.

by the big grabowski on Aug 13, 2008 7:51 PM PDT reply actions  

On the bright side, Penny is up to 92.

I’m pretty sure Penny would be a better choice here.

Wow

Sweeney is 9-71 on the season … and he’s supposed to be better than the pitcher.

by SuperBruinMan on Aug 13, 2008 8:19 PM PDT reply actions  

Anyone want to look up Penny in his last 72 AB?

Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN

by Andrew on Aug 13, 2008 8:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

He’s 5-26 this season.

Sweeney has 4 hits in his last 26 ABs.

by SuperBruinMan on Aug 13, 2008 8:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

Last year

Penny had 16 hits in 65 ABs (.246) including 6 doubles.

by SuperBruinMan on Aug 13, 2008 8:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

He’s 19 for his last 72.

I can play that. It’s a sweet riff.

It seems similar enough to Two Tickets To Paradise that I could probably handle it.
