Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

NL Western Division Champs banner has a new owner?

Today at the Padres FanFest they had a Garage Sale, where they sold old equipment and banners. Your friend and mine, Jonny Dub, thinks he bought the large banner that hung over the Western Metal Supply Building when the Padres were 2005 NL Western Division Champs for $10.

You remember the one that they hung over the side changing "Western Metal Supply" to "NL Western Division Champs"?  That one.

He may have a cool piece of history, but he didn't want to unroll the whole thing, because it's was really big and heavy.  Jon's a betting man though and at very least his $10 went to charity.

Here's Jonny Dub and Dex carrying it around the ballpark.

Jon thinks it's a sign that the Padres don't think they'll ever need it again because the Padres will suck.  Jon is a negative Nancy.

***DEVELOPING***

It was just the "NL"!  Imagine how big it would have been if it was the whole thing.  Notice Jon threw his dumb cat on the banner.    He's a one trick pony.

Seriously

I wanted to buy more stuff but after handling all the banners everything I touched turned black. So there’s probably about 10-20 hats out there that have giant finger smudges underneath the bill.

That's what I meant

his last game. I think those were the columns that held the Gold Gloves, Silver Bats and Rings, right?

Damn it

He left early

You didn’t say hi to us, because you only wanted to talk to Dex.

by jbox on Feb 13, 2010 4:35 PM PST up reply actions  

You were talking to a Pad Squadder

and you walked off real fast after.

Were we

really walking that fast? Or was it because you got shy?

by jbox on Feb 13, 2010 4:43 PM PST up reply actions  

Well, what happened was...

You two were talking to the Pad Squadder about 10’ in front of me, you weren’t facing me, and by the time I’d identified Jonny Dub and figured out who you must be, and that there was no Dex, you were both passing me at a quick pace.

Granted, I always maintain a high level of shy, though.

I’d pay $50 for something like that.

SOLD

You mail me the check. I will get that thing out from the corner of Jon’s garage that the thing will be living in.

SOLD!

Now that it’s just the “NL”

Tomorrow Morning

I’ll unroll it on the back lawn to make sure this is what I bought. On the outside was marked “WMS Building NL Sign” What else could it be right?

What if it's just the NL?

It weighed like 60 lbs

It’s got to be more than the “NL”, or there is a dead body wrapped inside.

Jon's nuts

The cats aren’t allowed out of the house, which is how you can tell this photo has been staged.

by Dex on Feb 14, 2010 1:24 PM PST up reply actions  

I figured as much

Kitty looks bewildered by it all, which made it funnier.
