If we can save the Moores' marriage, then maybe... just maybe we can save the Padres

I have no idea what broke up John and Becky Moores' 40+ years marriage. I guess it could be any number of things, but it sounds like it's pretty bitter at this point.

You know what would be cool? If we here at the Gaslamp Ball could somehow get them to stay together and stop the divorce. Of course we'd do it mostly for them and their family but we'd also benefit from ownership that wasn't squabbling and trying to liquify all their assets.

I don't know much about John or Becky or their relationship. I know they met in High School history class they have a few children. Maybe that's enough, we could pull a Parent Trap and decorate a room to look like their Texas High School History Class and bring them together and then they'd realize how foolish they've been.

Maybe we could send Becky love poems and sign them from John. Really there are any number of things we could try, in order to save their marriage and save our team.

We could also mind our own business, but we've never been much for that option.

Anybody have any genius ideas? Besides minding our own business?

Watch Step Brothers

And imagine GLB representing both John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell.

Boats will be crashed while making a bad music video, there will by petty arguments and sissy fights, we’ll get beat up by a Low-A blog, naked percussion solos, fart jokes, sordid affairs with Snakepit wives, and an eventual self-reflection where we all end up getting sad and upset, and then forced to get real jobs that are all inadvertently linked together to benefit the reunion of John and Becky Moores.

Oh, and someone’s going to have to flash the fake ball sac at some point. Drama?

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

Dudes... there's totally still hope for John and Becky

It just occurred to me, like a dream, man. the fog’s burning off and it’s all clear and sunny and nice and stuff with rainbows and unicorns flying so high in the sky…

What we need to do is like get together and stuff, everyone from GLB and Ducksnorts and Krasovic, Sullivan, and Matt V. and Mud and Sutcliffe and Cla Meredith and Hoffy and oh yeah, Jake Peavy too. Everyone…. then we do a peace march right through downtown to Petco. Righteous! …and then when we get to Petco, we form like a huge human circle around the entire park., and then we totally hold hands and essentially make one big ring of love around Petco. If we refuse to break our circle of love until John and Becky get back together, the Padres will be saved!

I don’t even care how long it takes! I’ll bring my tent and all of my drums and sage sticks and stuff with me…. What do ya think? Who’s in?
