PrintYou guys are such saps. If one didn't know any better, one would think that you were in love with Kevin Towers. One would think that you wanted to marry Kevin Towers. For approximately 50% of you, that's gay.
O, pobrecito. su pequeño amigo no estará aquí.
You see what happened tonight? We defeated the Giants with no general management. The sky didn't fall. Heath Bell knew what he was supposed to do. Adrian Gonzalez didn't seem overly shook up.
The only ones shook up? YOU saps. Kevin Towers is old. He likes old things. I'm sure you'll see him around town doing old person things like riding around in a golf cart or laying around naked at Black's Beach. That's where you old lovers can be with your love of old things. The Padres? They're young. Petco Park is young. Gaslamp Ball is young. This is a place for young things like me and 2009 wines and what's left of the Girl Posse.
I'm pretty sure Kevin Towers cried a little at his press conference and let me just say that I'm glad none of the other GMs in the major leagues never found out till now that KT be the kind of "guy" who cries.
GO PADRES!

I went tonight
and a big, tough Giants fan in front of me was drinking white wine, so naturally I punked him in front of everyone. I asked him where his sushi and sweater was too. It was pretty awesome.
50%?

If your words didn't convince me I'm gay
that picture of Everth did.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

I miss KT
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one:
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods:
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
This has GOT to be the first W.H. Auden quote
in an SB Nation post.
Nice.

Been lurking all season...
figured October 4th was the appropriate join date.
Good to be here — looking forward to 2010.

The next time ...
… Somebody — anybody — says strategic, they’re getting a sweet loogie launched in their direction.
Such a dick maneuver....
How is this an acceptable way to do business regarding a guy that has spent 25 years with this organization? This is like going out and banging three other chicks before you tell your wife you want a divorce. It’s dishonest, slimy and EXACTLY what you would expect from a former agent.
One more thing concerning our new owner...
One apparent candidate not being considered is Arizona Diamondbacks Vice President of Player Personnel Jerry DiPoto.
"There’s a gentleman’s agreement to avoid Arizona," said Moorad, who was the CEO of the Diamondbacks before entering into an agreement to purchase the Padres from John Moores early last spring.
"DiPoto is not on our list."
Great to see he has more respect for his former organization than he does for the current one he’s supposed to be trying to win a World Series for. We have a “gentleman’s agreement” with a hated division rival? Really? How about this? How about f**k Arizona and the entire D-Backs organization? How about that? I could care less if we hire DiPo as GM or not…but to NOT go after guy, if in fact you think he’s the best candidate, because you don’t want to offend your former employees is NOT looking out for Number One.

As I understand it...
Moorad talked to Towers three weeks ago to tell him there were going to start searching for GMs. This is the meeting that Moorad said was “emotional”, but they never said he was going to be fired. Then this last week was when Moorad told Towers he would “officially” be let go.
