PrintMilwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres, Aug 12, 2008 7:05 PM PDT
Nobody was into my project, but everybody was all into jbox's project. I kinda liked my project. But I guess I liked jbox's project better too.
Side topic of conversation tonight. Who would you want to buy the Padres? Me? I'd want somebody like Nintendo. What if Apple bought the Padres? Imagine how stylish Petco would be then.
Go Padres!

How about Paul Allen?
The guy is filthy rich and doesn’t mind shelling cake to turn his teams into contenders…

Carlos Slim Helu
The world’s third richest man, from Mexico City. If he bought the Padres, concessions would offer freshly made tortillas! There would be vendors with bottles of tequila and whistles all over the stadium… and Vinny Castilla might still have a job.

Honestly I would not reject the idea of moving the fences in this off-season. Who cares what the pitchers think, I want more offense!

We should ask for an Official Mulligan

I don't see how the Moores
can keep the team. It makes up most of their stash – which will need to be split 50/50. Maybe cut the payroll to 10 mil and charge 10 mil for beers.

trust me
Fidel has 400 mil laying around. It would be a hoot to have him as our owner. When he eventually dies, they can stuff him and put him on display (park in the park?) – like they do with all the other dead commies.
