Padres assembled a gucci supergroup, which squeaks out karaoke "we are the world".

Dougherty: “Petco Park big screen shows a woman holding an "I [Heart] Ringworm" sign. As you can imagine, the scoreboard operator quickly switched to another camera.”

There were a lot of pretty decent ones on this game thread.   I mean, look at these:

They're Phillies fans. They probably brought batteries to the signing press conference.

Also, beating the Prellers is pretty funny.  They take away the two best players from what was already the worst team in the league and they still lose repeatedly.

Of course the one hit let in two runs but so be it.

I’d like to report inappropriate abuse of Phillies fans. You guys know you want the Cards to be the odd team out this year.

Still there, too; my kids' pediatrician is on the street that runs behind LF.  There was actually some movement towards replacing the field that replaced Engel with a vastly renovated Engel because that neighborhood has really picked up over the last ten years or so - alas, the decision was made within the last year to build a new one instead.
