I heard about that on DSC today. That sounds fun too. Aren't a couple of NASCAR guys racing each other? I know about Boyer vs. Bromo.

I've never been to the races at Cajon, but have heard nothing but praises.

Who's all going to the races? It's only 5 to 10 minutes from home. Might have to check it out.

Ceremonial pitch for Padres caps Lakeside boy's wish list


By Natasha Lee

April 11, 2003


LAKESIDE – Kyle Blocksom is a little nervous about throwing the ceremonial first pitch at tomorrow's Padres game.

"I'm afraid I'm not going to make it over the plate," he said.

In preparation for his big moment, Kyle and his dad have been practicing for a week.

Kyle's special pitch was made possible through the Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego. A year ago, the 8-year-old was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma, a rare type of lymphatic cancer that affects the blood system.

The foundation grants about 150 wishes each year to children under the age of 18 diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.

Make-A-Wish partnered with MicroSkills, a local computer training company and Padres sponsor, to make Kyle's latest wish come true.

He has been in remission for nearly a year.

"It's nice to give them (Make-A-Wish children) a thrill at least for the day, that they might not have had. It feels good," said Tony Jimenez, general manager for MicroSkills.

Through Make-A-Wish, the Lakeside youngster has been able to attend a host of local sporting events. And in November, Kyle traveled with his family to Hawaii to meet Everett Hyland, a Pearl Harbor survivor.

Hyland, a retired Navy seaman apprentice, shared his personal accounts of the Japanese bombing and gave the family tours of historical sites and memorials.

The all-expenses-paid trip also included lots of fun in the sun.

"I liked that we got to go snorkeling and stay in the Hilton," Kyle said.

A visit to Pearl Harbor may seem like an unusual wish for an 8-year-old, but for Kyle it was an opportunity to see his favorite period of history up close.

He loves watching war movies, especially the movie "Pearl Harbor," and drawing tanks and airplanes.

"I like what Army people do. They protect our future," he said.

Kyle's family said the Make-a-Wish Foundation's acts of kindness have been overwhelming.

"We've been touched by the genuine care and support from everyone," said Kyle's father, Mark.

Once the Padres' game is over, Kyle said he hopes things settle down and the he can be a regular kid again.

"It's been fun," he said, "But I'm ready to be a normal kid and sit around and watch TV."

Still, Kyle realizes he's had some wonderful opportunities.

"My friends think I'm lucky," he said. "I think I'm lucky, too."

BRAGGER!!!

I don't get off of work until 2:30PM
Make sure you drink some ICDBs for me.

What time are you getting off work today? :cheese:

1 more hour my friend

Hmm. I wonder if DJ would want to go to the game. He really should get some practice becoming a DD. :mrgreen:

Only problem is that it takes something GOOD to get him to walk away from his video games on a Saturday night. Or any night for that matter.

Plaza 57
Row 4
seats 9-10

shesh I was way off guessing P9 hahahah

Kelly, call him and ask him. I don't know if he'll go since he got that new game of his. Stays up late playing with Chummin!

Let the games begin

so Angels lost the first but SMASHED it at home! i love BOTH teams so it was a definate GO TO game for me when they were in town this year (nothing last year). i was all suited up and the fans around us were a good mix of Angels and Padres. when Spiccoli (greene) hit that HR!!!! i was going crazy with happiness...my fav teams and one of my fav players. whatta great game!!!

next year when we get rid of some geezers the padres will have some cash, the top guys and there pay

maddox 10mil
giles 9.6mil
edmonds 8mil
hoffy 7.5mil
wolf 4.5mil
barrett 3.5mil

43.1 million for those 6, total payroll is 73.7 million for 25 players

I'll be there saturday, game is against the Codgers.

we might go sunday, get some sun

damn I gave up on hoffy last year, this year might be painful

heath bell should be the closer, trevs time is over (greatest closer ever) but time is done

I couldn't agree anymore!

fully agree. He's just not fooling anybody with that changeup.
Heath Bell is ready and waiting.

Bring on Heath Bell. The Padres would have advanced to the playoffs last year if they would have left him in instead of bringing out Hoffman

bring on the codgers

heath bell= 300k a year
hoffy= 7.5 million

^^ I was never big on giving a closer that much cash no matter how good they are

Headin' to the game this evening. We got ourselves some 10th row seats behind 3rd base for under face value
Going to take the trolley down, have a few beers at the Tilted Kilt. Also getting ourselves some Kouz Coozies tonight

grab an extra

Go buy some tickets for the game and you can get one too.

nah rather sit in my 70* house and drink good beer for .50ea and eat better food and not have to listen to yahoos during the game

It was a good game and we had great seats. Kelly was getting annoyed by the little girls behind who would scream at the top of their lungs when they wanted to make noise.

Hells Bells.

just signed an extension to pitch 4 more years, $12mil per year

He's a great guy, but WTF?

Padres will never be a contender if they keep resigning guys who are past their prime for huge amounts of money and trading away all the good young talent to other teams to let them go onto become superstars elsewhere.

I was being faceious since he blew last nights game :esc:

eff the american league

I heard on the radio, that the tickets for sunday's game are half price....

GO PADS.

I will be looking down on you guys on saturday's game, box seats thanks to harrahs casino, along with all the free beer and food I can handle.




bottom of the 4th, meet by the smokeing area, Ill snag some extra beer for the GD.com peeps.

1st place
