NL Western Division Champs banner has a new owner?

PrintToday 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
I shouldve gotten one then. I’m always looking for ways to keep my veggie trays elevated.

But Dex was nowhere to be seen.

You were talking to a Pad Squadder
and you walked off real fast after.

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.

Damn that's cool
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.
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’s just the “NL” that hangs to the left of the foul pole! I can’t believe it! Who bought the “Division Champs”????

Damn I wasn’t even being serious.

Pic’s great. Is Jon’s one-trick pony also a barrel that is also filled with laughs?

Jon's nuts
The cats aren’t allowed out of the house, which is how you can tell this photo has been staged.
I figured as much
Kitty looks bewildered by it all, which made it funnier.

No mention of the MILF in the background of the J-Dub & Dex pic? Shameful boys!!
If I pick it, I flick it
