fellow ballers - though you may not have heard my voice much this past season, rest assured RBS and his clever rhetoric were always here...lurking. Ashamed as I was at the play of our boys in sand and blue in 08, I kept my GLB posting to a minimum. Alas I have not given up on the Padres. But a storm on the horizon threatens to sink my bouyant love for this team. I seriously can't tell you how pissed I'd be if we traded Peavy. I know we 'might get good prospects in return' and I don't care. the only reason to watch a Padres game last season was to see the best pitcher in the National League go at it. Please Padres, do not trade Jake Peavy.

So I found this site, www.KeepPeavy.com and I signed the petition. Won't you join me?

interesting......

you are correct WG, to say that I still hold a place in my heart for the halos. But seriously, how bad a team would we have without Jake? Do you want to see him go?

Depends on the return

And honestly at this point – if the payroll is going to go as low as what we’re hearing, it isn’t going to matter whether Peavy is here or not this season. If the team will really and truly commit to youth, I’m fine with trading him.

I hate the game he and Axelrod are playing, though. And it is most definitely a game. Richard pointed it out clearly in another thread. Axelrod is playing the bad guy and allowing Jake to attempt to remain the good guy, but it seems very clear that he wants to go. As I’ve said before, I don’t begrudge the fact that he may want to leave because the organization has once again shifted direction and not followed the path promised to him – but this sly little media campaign is tired and petty and we’re kidding ourselves if we’re just blaming Axelrod and not admitting that it all starts with Peavy.

I can't get on board with the Angels

Something about rooting for a team with red as its main color just rubs me the wrong way.

Homer: Ohhhh, The Denver Broncos.
Marge: Whats wrong with the Denver Broncos?
Homer: Marge you just don't understand football.
