Whenever somebody makes a The Office reference in a thread: http://i.giphy.com/yidUzriaAGJbsxt58k.gif

Again. Wow. Not bad for the first GDT.

WOW

Maybe in a pillow fight

I'm thinking the division maybe getting away from the Twins. Hot take, I know.

Whoa Nelly. First game day thread ever. Here goes nothing for the finale of a weird 2 game series. 1) San Diego-Our visiting team today is also home to the avocado capital of the USA. Which makes sense because guacamole is delicious. The avocado is also the state fruit of California. Which doesn’t make sense because I always thought that it was a vegetable and not a fruit. But in a world where the tomato and cucumbers are considered fruit, who knows. I think they’re just making things up now. 2) The Padres. In a rebuild now and now also the only show in town outside of SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo now that the Chargers have bolted for Carson CA to become the Los Angeles Chargers of Carson. They really like their animals in San Diego, don't they? Their best player is arguably Will Myers, slashing .244/.328/.461 with 27 homers. Currently, they are 65-80 and are fighting to stay out of the NL West cellar with the San Francisco Giants. 3) Last night. How about those Twins last night? With home runs in the first 7 innings, they set a new MLB record. Not sure how they follow up last night’s performance tonight, but I’m sure Ervin “Magic” Santana will have something up his sleeve. 4) Sleep. I’ve never appreciated sleep more than I did before September 1st. September 1st also coincides with the birth of my son. Becoming a dad is incredible, but I have a newfound appreciation for naps. I've had a lot of thoughts about, zzzz..... Lineups Padres 1. Manuel Margot ® CF 2. Carlos Asuaje (L) 2B 3. Yangervis Solarte (S) 3B 4. Wil Myers ® 1B 5. Hector Sanchez (S) DH 6.
