Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

So Matt Bush likes to fight. Fire Kevin Towers?

I was looking all over Facebook and MySpace for Matt Bush's profile page. I wish the Padres would've drafted somebody else instead of Matt Bush. Not necessarily because I don't want Matt Bush on the team per se, but rather because I like guys who are easy to find on things like Facebook and MySpace.

I was reading through the comments after the UT article about the Matt Bush fight, and it seemed to be a ton of people looking to fire KT because of the Matt Bush draft. I don't get that. What does KT have to do with anything when it comes to Matt Bush getting into fights in bars? Sure, drafting Bush because we were worried about overpaying for the first pick was a lame situation, but it's not like it was all KT's fault.

When some people get drunk, they sleep with dirtbags who don't remember their names in the morning. When other people get drunk, they look at their friends really accusatory and berate them for not making a meaningful commitment with their girlfriends of 4 years.

When Matt Bush gets drunk, he tries to kick your ass.

For that, we should fire Kevin Towers? Let he who is without two embarrassing drunken episodes cast the first stone!

Can we just get rid of Bush? He's just a sad/pathetic reminder of something that didn't even have potential but the Padres got anyways.

Just take the money from the signing bonus that he hasn’t already blown and just go away. I really don’t care what happens to Towers. He just needs to stop with the chest hair showing. It really is not professional. And I woulda thought that Matt Bush was dumb enough to have a myspace or facebook with his real name. And isn’t he dumb? Wasn’t he taking an algebra test when he found out he was gonna be drafted?

I even had me a McFlurry!

I like having Matt Bush around

it keeps the front office on their toes. Whenever they start to get smug, it’s a nice little reminder for them. For the people in the front office that weren’t around when Matt Bush was drafted we can just point to this terrible season.

Ummmm....

You’re reading comments from the U-T? Really?

I know, right?

That U-T comments thread… or more specifically, all U-T comment threads… is a vast wasteland of insanity. Reading those is like reading the diary of an angry, obscene 9-year-old.

I heard it was an 11th hour decision

We had Stephen Drew all lined up and I think ownership placed a phonecall that put last minute restrictions on Towers.

hell the 86 Mets

used to get in to drunken bar fights in every town they went to.

including one very famous one in Houston.

you have a bunch of 20 somethings who may or may not be roid raging 24/7. add any other drug cocktails these guys are constantly on (Demerol, Bennies, and whatever else they can get their hands on), and you place this in a bar, then the potential for douchebaggery goes through the roof.

i’m not shocked at all…

Barkley used to talk about that

how anyone that recognized him at bars used to try and fight him, because then they could say “hey, i fought Charles Barkley.”

especially in towns where the DBag quotient is high, like Boston etc…

Fired?

I think saying he should be fired is a little extreme. However, while not saying that KT is responsible for Bush’s actions, you would think that part of spending $$$ on a first round draft pick would be somehow getting an idea of the mental make-up of your draftee.

There are a lot of great MLB players who were drafted after a lot of career minor league padres lately.

Typo

“There are a lot of great MLB players who were drafted after a lot of career minor leaguers lately.”

You can say that about every team. Just list the the rounds of the all-star team this year, and most teams could have drafted them.

Padres especially poor

How many first round draft picks by the padres have played in all-star games in the last 20 years?

Since Matt Bush is really John Moores fault...

I say John gets full-custody of Matt in the divorce settlement…Becky is allowed to see him on Wednesdays and every other weekend…holidays are split.
