"If the Padres were unable or unwilling to honor the balance of Jake Peavy's contract (2011 - $16M, 2012 - $17M, 2013 - $22M w/ a club buyout option), why would we expect them to turn around now and offer the exact same money to Adrian Gonzalez? "

Peavy
I think every one has a right to their opinion, but I definitely feel like Peavy should let the teams do what they need too. I do think its a little out of line for him to say that, but I still think the guy is a hell of a player. What is he going to do next, tell his friend Rivers to play for Da’ Bears! Just a little out of line in my opinion.
Can’t wait for Saturday in Peoria!
You stay classy San Diego
I doubt Rivers likes Peavy
But I would bet he knows well enough not to tell the media.
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
Oh. My. Goodness.
Thank you, jbox. This totally makes up for you completely ignoring me at the game last night.
"I'm a Padre at heart. Always gonna root for the Padres. Twenty-five years [with this organization], how can't you? 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
Show your belly button and go to bed.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
