PrintSeattle Mariners at San Diego Padres, Jun 29, 2008 1:05 PM PDT
I'm convinced if the Padres really don't try that they can lose 8 games in a row. Don't overestimate them, they can do this very easily.
Go Padres!

Is Ichiro the perfect baseball player?
What can’t he do? Is there anybody that you want on your team more than him?
You know what's really cool about how bad we suck?
We rarely get our asses kicked…and we don’t usually give a game away with a ton of errors. We just lose. That’s all…we just lose. Game after game after game…
"We are observers - - of our own team."
yes
we do love to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. there are few better.
http://www.wellbelowthemendozaline.blogspot.com
I may be crazy...but I think it means we're close.
With a few smart moves…we could be very competitive in ‘09.

i like the way you think
but i am wary of your optimism.
http://www.wellbelowthemendozaline.blogspot.com
I look at it like an NFL team.
An NFL team that loses by a field goal or a touchdown week in and week out…and end up with a shit record. With some smart moves…they end up a pretty good team the next season. You know?
"We are observers - - of our own team."
i see the logic
i feel like we were that one piece away from the world series using that logic last year. i just don’t understand how we go from awesome to awful.
it can’t ALL be Cameron and Bradley. i mean thats a huge part, but not the whole pizza you know?

I should sell tix to hang out at my place. After swimming in the pool, Riley has just finished building a Super Sleuths-mobile…so her and her imaginary friend, Bubbaz, can spy on me. And I’m serving drinks. Way more exciting, right?

We're about to get swept by the Mariners.
The Mariners. At home, no less. Think about that for a second. Even Mariner fans have to be going: Wow…the Padres suck.
"We are observers - - of our own team."
Not that I don't want to get swept
but if they aren’t taking a good hard look at firing Harry at the end of this series, then this entire organization is failing.

Better get your resume cleaned up, Harry. You’re done.
by Winfield's Ghost on Jun 29, 2008 3:09 PM PDT reply actions
Harry sucks
but so do 34 guys out of our 40 man roster so its not entirely his fault…
Alderson and Towers need to be arrested for fraud
I agree
Not entirely his fault. But they’ve shaken up the roster, they’ve brought up Headley and I’d have to think that this series has to be looked at as the lowest point in a season full of low pts. Firing him is pretty much the only way they have left to change things up.

That has got to be the slowest athlete I have ever seen in my life! Is it because he is hitting a smoking 294? Puhleaze! Try to hustle once in a while!

zero wasted energy
he’s conserving it… how do you think he hits it 440’ to the opposite field ???

Conserving?
He is a first basemen. LoL I didn’t know they conserve engery.
Was he conserving when he got picked off TWICE at home in one game?

I would ask Alderson to loosen the death grip that he had on my nards, so that I could make a couple of overdue moves.
Or I would take the job in Seattle, where they are willing to spend some cake.

Who are you going to bring in?
Your right its Budblacks fault the San Diego Padres are in DEAD last the NL West…Lawd.
You need to fire Sandy, dude is lost. This game is to fast for him lol an Adrian
Adrian Gonzo is the slowest athlete in the history of sports! DUDE YOU NEED TO HUSTLE!
Sandy is the only one who really knows the best direction for the franchise
You can’t fire him before he even makes his mark. Sandy’s plan for this franchise is barely even through phase 1. Black is a puppet, fire him or don’t fire him it barely makes a difference. Towers knows more about building a major league roster than Sandy. Each guy has his own strengths and they are working those strengths to build a more resilient franchise. The one that won the last 4 seasons was built with bailing wire and scotch tape that stuff has finally broke. The next Padres team that makes the playoffs will be built for the long haul by Sandy Alderson and Kevin Towers and with come when the Padres can produce major league talent from their farm system.
Michael Barrett for Retirement in '08. Bring back Piazza!
glb-TR points in your direction
You appear to have a lot of time on your hands…
YOU GOT MY VOTE.
