Around SBN: Diego Sanchez and the Dangers of Fame in MMA

3 beautiful days in san diego-- what a park and what a series

just got back home to vegas after a hell of a series in san diego.... Petco Park is absolutley amazing, one of the best places to see a game for sure.  Couple of things of note-- The place was packed with braves fans I dont know if anyone else on here was there, but let me tell you it was about 60-40 for game one and 70-30 the last two.  I can't get over what an amazing place petco park is, not a bad seat in the house, today was two for one tickets in the bleachers and it was honestly better than the down the first base line seats we had the day before.  Ok enough about petco,a few things i noticed live that don't come through on the tv.  First our right field defense is horrendous, in a big park like petco matty d and church have way too much ground to cover for them to get to should-be catchable balls, there were at least two lead off triples in the series both two right field.  though hell of a throw today by ryan church. Nother thing noticed live is that tony gwynn 2 and nate do not like each other at all it almost came to a fight at one point today dont think the cameras caught it though.   Second Chipper IS HURT, not injured enough to miss time, but something is definatley wrong especially after swings and misses he was grimacing a lot, and didnt have any real pop on the ball at all.   And third Yunel escobar missed some makeable throws, just didtnt seem to have the zip on his throws like he normally does which cost us a few doulbe play opps especially in game 1, hopefully it's just a remnant of the hand injury (on a side note-- diory should not be playing in the major leagues, i know he's our only back up ss, but seriously he couldnt even come close to hitting any breaking pitch whatsoever and his defense is sub par as well),  AND I COULD THROW A FASTBALL PAST GREG NORTON I SWEAR TO GOD BRING BACK INFANTE ALREADY

I wanted to go

but since it was during the week I had to work. I usually go to Petco when the Braves are in town each year. I will be going to the LA game on Friday.

Petco IS a very beautiful park! Great area too..I love going there, but only to see the Braves of course!
