Atlanta Braves at San Diego Padres, Jul 11, 2008 10:05 PM EDT
While we are facing the defending Cy Young winner, we are still playing one of the worst teams in baseball, and we should be able to beat them. I don't know if I'm looking forward to this game or this series.

laffy taffy is generally the same price as a pack of like 3 airheads, and is more tasty and less filling and bigger and generally more awesome. no slight against airheads though…i remember plowing through like a dozen a day at the pool when i was a kid. wow, no wonder i was so far
