Open Thread: Padres Sale News Conference

PrintYou can watch the news conference live on Padres.com at 3pm PST. Supposedly Moores will introduce Moorad... after that we can only guess that there will be special effects, magic, fountains timed to music, wild animals and semi-nude but tasteful dancers.
Go Padres!

Definitely the weirdest part of that Press Conference was when Moorad was asked about the people in his ownership group. He said he'd only mention a couple of them, because some members wanted their identity to remain private. The interviewer told him that it would become public record. Moorad seemed a bit annoyed as he said that he would respect those members that didn't want to be mentioned. He then went on to mention most of the 12 members. The only ones I remember were Troy Aikman and the dude that owns Panda Express. It's still creepy that his secret membership group is trying to remain secret.

Moorad also said the Padres are going to focus on Mexico. He's talked to someone in Homeland Security about bringing fans in from Mexico. They are trying to replace us! American fans are a lost cause. Don't anybody panic, but I seriously think Moorad is planning to move the team to Mexico!

Here's the video of the press conference in case you missed it.

Love/hate this
I don’t think I want to know how much time I have spent on this thing in the last week.
Nothing yet
anybody seeing any video? It’s already been 7 minutes! Is this the way Moorad is going to run this team?
So far
Moores introduced Moorad, and now Moorad is thanking everyone and thier mother.
Apparently his favorite Mexican Food place is in La Jolla
so's mine!
maybe ill see him there and force him to reveal to me all the members of the ownership group
DODGERS, RED SOX, YANKEES, BRONCOS, PATRIOTS and RAIDERS all suck. Especially the Dodgers.

Van a construir un estadio en Tijuana. Tendremos que cruzar la frontera pa’ ver los Padres de BC y no estan diciendonos todos los nombres del grupo de los duenos porque unos son narcos…

Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall -- and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base! This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
Moorad did not like being challenged
when asked why he couldn’t list all the people in the ownership group.
What part of secret dont you understand?

Moorad was asked
Is Panda Express Coming to PETCO?
And he responded
It’s definitely a goal we want to reach
Ugh
Keep the chains out. Chase Field looks like a mall food court.

Uh
I guess they are both technically “chains”. But there’s a big difference between two local companies that actually serve fresh, quality food and the mall food court chains like Panda Express.
Panda Express was the only bad concession i saw at Chase Field, everything else seemed local or unique.
But
it also looks like a mall food court.

It was Moores talking
He thanked Sandy, and talked about how this was an unexpected transition, but an exciting one, that’s most of what I remember.
partners
the secret one is Tom Cruise. You heard it here 1st.

I love this secret ownership group theme
does this mean we get to see another Tom Hanks movie? and exactly how long after the divorce is final does Moores get full ownership back?
by wishfulthinking on Mar 26, 2009 4:20 PM PDT reply actions
Maverick
Cruise really is the secret partner. they are friends. Moorad is in Jerry Maguire
