Padres "Money First" Attitude catching up!

We built the Padres a new Ball park for a reason... So that they would have a new income to bring in big, or at least bigger named, players. And what have we done, NOTHING...

The only players on our team that would make any other starting line-up in the league are Jake Peavy, Chris Young, Greg Maddux, Randy Wolf, Cla Meridith, Heath Bell, Adrian Gonzo, and MAYBE Khalil Greene and Kevin Kouz. THAT IS IT... Please show a valid arguement that proves this wrong.

I sick of all the excuses by the SD media about us just being unlucky and its "a long season" we will bounce back. The media needs to recognize that this lack of success all comes back to the management. Over the years since our trip to the big show, we have been abandoning all signs of proven talent for the cheeper young talent. 2 Years after that trip to the World Series we only had 3 players left from that amazing team.

This trend has carried all the way to today, where our pitching has struck a rough spot and our hitting is... well... LAST IN EVERY CATEGORY IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE... Our managing core needs to get a grip and spend some ******* money... Cheap pieces of $hit

I agree with you entirely. Except for the bit that Cla Merideth would be in the starting line up for any other team in the Majors. I think he sucks. He's never shown any glimpse that he can actually make a hold with whatever he's given and in my book blew way too many games for us last season which cost us going to the playoffs.

The Padres haven't changed their fiscal philosiphy for 40 years.

Did you really believe them when they made those hollow promises? All you have to do is look at Tony Gwynn taking the San Diego Discount all those years to have a glimpse of the future...

San Diego stadium was brand new when the 69 Padres came into existence...Nothing has changed except the address where they play.

Silly me, I keep rooting anyway...Go Padres

Not a big fan of the (once) mighty Dodgers so I had to check

Last div championship...2003

Prior to that, all the way back to 1995 to find a Div. champ. (that would probably be before you were born huh?)

Last W.S. appearance the 80's

In the meantime my oh-so-crummy Padres have won the div in 96, 98 05 & 06. Making a WS appearance in 98 

So enjoy your teams temporary and very limited success, but don't make those W.S. travel arrangements anytime soon...

and yes, Go Padres

Ya know in all of those dates you named for both the Dodgers & Padres the stats that I noticed you failed to mention were the only one's that count--"The Hardware"! Oops I realize that San Diego has never capturedone of these as they are rare in this part of the state, so I'll explain since seeing you obviously have the common disease that most of you winning deprived San Diegan's have- Denial! You see the world championship is the only thing that matters & every player that comes here only has to put in a little time here in the San Diego discount to realize that its only outside of San Diego that real teams win real Championships, you see mr. Nuts & bolts for brains the Dodgers have 6 different  WORLD championships, 5 of them in LA- 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981, & 1988..And y
