A Poem for our Cowboy

by Mad_Villain on Oct 25, 2009 2:26 AM PDT

I miss you Gunslinger, you were mine since I was 10.

I miss you Gunslinger, you built a cheap, yet solid 'pen.

I didn't always feel loved, but I knew the love was there.

You were sometimes over budget, but the spending was always fair.

You once lived around the corner, in the town of PB,

I would wave and yell while I jogged by, but you just stared at me.

I saw you wash your bulldog once, I wanted to ask if it was Hoff's,

I saw you making out with a blonde once, I wanted to ask if it was Hoff's.

You've brought me mediocrity, you've brought me many tears,

you've brought me Brian Giles, for a few too many years.

Thanks for all you've given us, I'll remember all the wins,

Thanks for all you've given us, all three Gwynns.

I'll always remember you Gunslinger, your dark, sunken eyes,

I'll remember 13 years of question marks, and 1 year of highs.

Godspeed, Gunslinger.

Next year I'm gonna be rooting like a son-of-a-gun for these guys and for Blackie ... I'm gonna be rooting for the next general manager here, rooting for the city, the fans, everybody. I think a lot of San Diego." -Kevin Towers

KT was Ours

He wasn’t perfect, but he was fun. He was old-school while embracing the new school. Ownership, managers, players, uniforms (bring back the tacos) changed but he’s been the one constant throughout my years watching the Padres. He was the face of the franchise. Although stealing prospects or 7th and 8th inning specialist for “sludge” didn’t win championships, it seemed to be the most fun we could have with the tightwad owners. His only fault was hiring Fuson and Gayton to draft players with degenerative injuries that they somehow didn’t know about. He like Bud Black are good people and good baseball people, so he’ll be missed.

At least Al Davis isn't running my team's drafts.
