Friar Franks Taste Testing

Well you've waited long enough for these pics and I'm sure they will satisfy your appetite. If you haven't read Dex's write up, here it is.

[Dex's note: I added my captions, but I got seriously bored late in the game, and they got real unfunny. Jbox, I'm sorry.]


Look at those uncooked hotdogs hitting the grill! Makes you proud to be a Padres fan.

Here's some of those super cool Pad Squaders. I didn't mean to protect their identities, but they are safe for now.

The Weinerschnitzel guy is perpetually scared.

This lady brought her dog in a stroller. It was a little nippy out so he's wearing a sweat shirt. I thought these were pictures of hot dogs, not COLD dogs! hahahaha
[Dex's caption: Let's grill that sucker up too. It's a dog eating FRENZY]

There's the two different types.

The friar looks hungry.

Grill 'em up!

Ready to eat!

A Ton of Caminiti articles in the UT today

First you got Nick Canepa's take on it.

Kevin Towers had no hand in the death of Ken Caminiti. He did not give him the dope or the syringe. Ken Caminiti was an addict who overdosed. On his own.

Tom Krasovic's UT article about Towers.

Oh and Krasovic also talks about Towers and Grady Fuson the "Super Scout".

"Two other clubs were very aggressive," Towers said. "And rightfully so. Look at his track record. He's got a knack for picking talented players."

It looks like Bochy has lost his stuff, he's not the pitcher he used to be:

When pitcher Woody Williams hit an opposite-field home run against the Padres in 2002, manager Bruce Bochy joked that Williams used a corked bat.

Williams got a measure of revenge yesterday when he battered Bochy's batting-practice offerings.

"I crushed him," Williams said.

"Yeah, he got me," Bochy said.

He got you... He got you good. Ahhhhh.

UPDATE: A secret source with XM radio tells me:

...on XM, they were talking a lot about K Towers and how the guy is a really emotional dude and has been agonizing over his guilt

Food Recycling and Baseball Opening Day... I'm confused

What do these two things have in common? I have no idea. Let's read the UT article.

This season, Petco Park will expand recycling efforts started last year with bottles, cans and other materials. Cooks in the ballpark's main kitchen will put scraps from their salads, soups and meat dishes into recycling containers. Nearly all types of food, including meat, can be composted.

Okay so food scraps are filling up our land fills? Doesn't that stuff just bio-degrade? I should probably be reading this article closer, but it seems like it has less and less to do with baseball.

Ballpark officials also plan to compost peanut shells, which are collected by air blowers after cleaning crews pick out big pieces of trash and recyclable objects. Eventually, the city wants to collect unsold cotton candy and bags of unsold popcorn.

Oh man I'm getting bored. You readers may have to read this article yourself. The "unsold cotton candy" part captured my attention for a second since I used to sell it myself. Let me tell you there is nothing sadder looking then a lonely little cotton candy that didn't sell. It start shrinking and my eyes start watering. Poor little dude.

Okay you're on your own with this article dudes, I can't get through it.
