Open Thread, 8/12: Padres vs Brewers
Milwaukee 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!

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.
