After a prolonged hiatus filled with frustration, I'm back. It's time for the 'State of the Union' address here at the homefront. Since it's been a while and I know you've missed it.... it's Bullet Point Time!
* Entering today, the punchless Padres were a half game out of the top spot in the division. Friday marks the return of 'Dinosaur 24', bum knee be damned, he's back. What is he bringing back to the punchless offense of ours? .276, 1 (!) home run, 12 RBI. According to the Lord Sith powers that be, we'll have a better handle on the offense upon his return. I for one, cannot fucking wait.
* Michael Barrett has brought his incredible punching prowess to San Diego. People have been critical of his defensive abilities. After witnessing a few games of his in our home unis, I'm of no remorse to say, the guy can throw. Can't call a game worth a shit, I've seen it in person, but, let's look at the positives here: He can throw, and punch like a champ. I'll take it. Sarcasm is a bitch.
* Scott Linebrink has done his best to devalue himself on the open market over the last three games entering today's contest to ensure his long term future here in our town. I'm sure he loves the weather, but that Sunday to Tuesday run of his was one for the fucking ages. Thanks Scott, you used to be worth an outfielder, one with excessive speed (Carl Crawford) or one with exceptional power (fill in the blank), yet now you have reduced yourself to a corner bat boy and cash considerations. Thanks man. Please report to the coach's office to turn in your hat. Go sit in the corner, you're about as valuable as a feather paperweight to me right now.
* For those of you keeping track, and I know there are at least two of you, the footballing squad is still quite dead to me. I'm waiting for the resurrection, but I'm sure ol' Norvy is anxiously awaiting taking direction from Darth Smith directly into the headphones during the pending games. Oh, and there's that whole stadium and quite mobile team issue still stinking up the table. I'm sure ol' Sunroad will concede to the walking lawsuit Mr. Aguirre at any moment... what? That actually happened? Dammit. I'm sure I'm next on the docket for Deputy Sue Happy any minute now... great. Time to hide the guns I guess.
* Contrary to popular belief, the Red Sox fans were quite cordial this past weekend. If by cordial you mean, absolute fucktards, albeit with an apologetic tone after shitting on our town. And to the guy that was from Clairmont, donning his freshly unwrapped McBastard Town jersey, eat shit pal. I couldn't care less if you ignored the Padres growing up for the Red Jerx, there's no excuse for your existence in this town. Quietly pack up your shit and get out. You are useless here. Eat mule balls and put it on youtube.
* Switching to the positive gear, no one on the above mentioned footballing squad has been arrested or caught ingesting (accidentally, of course) illegal substances. There is still some time until training camp so I'm still holding out hope.
* To all of the media types (yes, I'm still harping on Canepa) who think that the Padres have turned the corner and that last weekend's series against the Bastards from Beantown was a 'World Series' preview..... .....
..... sorry, got stuck with uncontrollable laughter there... the Friars might want to prove they can win a first round playoff series before we start whipping it out and yanking it over the thought of the World Series. I'd rather think about something else. So I give you, Miss Megan Fox... Thanks, I'll be back soon.
... try not to care that she's currently letting David Silver of the 90210 years touch her naughty crumbs.

You know, CJ, it's not the Padres' or the Chargers' fault that you forget it was June 26th.
do the padres suck so bad where they cant even get their own blog
To the residents of San Diego: I'd sincerly like to thank you for the hospitality extended to me personally and for openning up your doors to Red Sox nation this weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed the friendly give and take banter I experienced with you fans at not only the two Sox wins but during Chris Young's dominant pitching performance on Saturday as well. If you found the, "Shawn Marryman 'light's out' dance," that I performed every time we scored a run as distasteful as LaDanian Tomlison would have, I appologize, it was all in good fun, I assure you. If this appology does not stisfy your disconent with us, take solice in the fact that I'm still dealing with the worst cae of heartburn of all time thanks in large part to Ramiro's taco stand in PB. Once again, thanks a lot, and we'll see you soon.
I'm sure my esteemed colleague, CJ, would just go ahead and say, "Yeah, the Padres do suck too much for their own blog." I, however, would go with something more along the lines of, "They don't suck so much as they don't inspire." We here at Super Chargers like to do a lot of grousing and the Padres just don't give us a lot to grouse or, conversely, huzzah about, so to try and post day in and day out about their activities might send us straight to the padded rooms at bellvue. Maybe if they pick up another bat and manage to swing their way out of the wet paper bag that is the first round of the post season for them, we will consider throwing a little more in depth coverage their way. Until then, you'll just have to live with the sporatic posts we put up when our bosses yell at us or CJ forgets about a show he already bought tickets for and we feel we need to take it out on somebody.
As for you Boston fan, I assume you are back in Boston now and if that is the case, you're more than welcome for the hospitality and that is a fine ballclub you've got there. If, however, you are still here in sunny San Diego, feel free to go the fuck home.
Thanks for the kind criticism there Anonymous, yes, apparently due to the inherent suckitude of the team they do not deserve their own blog. First place be damned. This is a blog about whatever the fuck we choose to talk about, Padres, Chargers, Megan Fox, whatever... I might talk about fucking boar hunting with knives in Mexico if I choose too, if you want a Padres blog, knock yourself the fuck out...but since you think they suck so bad, why would you read it anyway? Have fun on your way back to wherever your folks got drunk and boned...
And all in all, the Boston Fans were okay, save some of them which is to be expected. Okay as in, just like a mild ball sack itch that won't go away. No one punched me and they all commented on how cool San Diego was, even though the Red Sahwx and Paytriots were far superior. Hope you enjoy those sunburns you pasty fucks. See you next year.
