Trevor isn’t the reason this team is dead last in a garbage division. Trevor isn’t the reason this team is 14 games under .500. It wasn’t Trevor that managed just four hits and SEVEN strikeouts against a guy named Kevin Slowey last night. Trevor didn’t sign Jim Edmonds. Trevor didn’t opt to keep Justin Huber and P-Keg on the roster coming out of spring training while sending Chase, Gey and E-Gon to Portland. Trevor didn’t hit CY in the face with a line drive. Trevor didn’t crush Bard’s ankle.

Trevor has done more for the San Diego Padres, the fans and this city than can possibly be measured. To boo a guy like that is classless and just plain horseshit.

Trevor should give back some of that $10M he’s getting this year to lose games. ala Ted Williams.

Is pretty classless to me. I’ve never really thought it had a place in the sport. You’d have to do something fairly egregious for me to justify it. I was at a game about a month ago and the 1st base coach got a foul ball and started walking toward the crowd to give it to a kid. Then he stops at the last second and throws it to the dugout and starts laughing. It was a pretty classless move and so appropriately, the crowd booed him. I could not see myself booing my team. I just can’t bring myself to do it.

I don’t really get too up or down after wins and losses. I guess I’m like Steve Garvey in that way and others.

unless in special cases if they kicked a kid, or someone laid down a bunt and no one moved for it things like that.
Booing is part of the game, but it meant to be used for umpires and the visiting team doing something you hate. It is not meant to do to your future hall of fame all times save leader closer. its not even something you do to your team.
it isn’t going to make them play better.

granted it could have been like 4 or 5 people that started it purposfully…. and other people just tend to follow because someone is booing and they don’t even know what they are booing for. We arent Dodger, Cubs of Philly fans. We are Padre fans and we support our effing team… i’m not saying cheer when they give up homeruns but don’t boo them

that flashes things up on the scoreboard for us to boo, like – $9 near beer, John Moores (who knows what he looks like?), Becky Moores (our future owner?), Bud’s decision to put Trevor in a non-save situation, guys who can’t bunt, stolen bases, AAAA players that are masquerading as MLB players…

they weren’t booing Trevor Hoffman’s HoF career. They weren’t booing all of his accomplishments or records or accolades. They were booing the fact that he gave up 2 home runs in the top of the ninth against the 7 and 8 hitters to lose the game. Stop giving us this “he’s done too much to deserve this booing” garbage. He screwed up the game last night, and has screwed up more than a few games this season. If the team is 6 games over .500 or if Trevor had a 2.80 ERA or something I’d be angry that they booed but neither is happening right now.

Regardless, I think the booing was also stemmed from all the frustration that needed to come out last night. The volcano blew at that point. The Padres can’t beat an AL team to save their lives and it sucks.

boo trevor. i’d curse at him maybe, but never boo. and probably not curse out aloud either, just cause there are always little kiddies around =P

but quick question: was the entire stadium booing him or was it just section of the crowd? i wouldn’t know since a) i was not there and b) i turned the tv off when he gave up the first hr.

and that’s when I’d start to throw peanuts.

Dex, your fists are the size of peanuts?

on 1090. He is taking calls.

We should be booing Bud Black for putting him in situations to fail. Boo him when the annouce him in the lineups. Boo him when he comes out to change pitchers.

it’s not my thing, but more power to the people that want to boo.

They are ungrateful to their HoF closer.

They are ungrateful to a Front Office that produced 4 straight winning seasons despite having an absolutely horrid farm system and no money to spend on free agency.

I have a hard time understanding why our fans have some much more hostility towards their organization than fans of far less successful organizations do. Our fans expect the world, but don’t want to pay for it (what would they think if the Padres starting charging what the Yankees, Mets and Red Sox charge) and yet still feel they have a right to boo when a couple things don’t go our way (this was a close game we were in until the end, not a blowout after all).
