And the aging curves for ballplayers in the non-steroid era? KW must believe he's still in 1998 and McGwire/Sosa are batting it out for the home run title in the late days of August.

Countdown until Rick Renteria is fired, a second time by a Chicago team... What would be especially hilarious would be if Vizquel or McEwing or Justin Jirschele refused to take over in-season, but that of course means we'd be stuck with irascible Don Cooper, which would mean even more fanbase insults. Steverson getting fired will just make everyone laugh collectively.

Or raid the offices of the Indians and Twins (scouts from back when Terry Ryan was running things well in the 2002-2010 period).

Then you can run for Congress, taking advantage of your "Joe the Plumber" moment in the spotlight.

They hired DiPodesta....got rid of the conflict between Jackson and his GM, the owner finally decided to stop intervening and let the professionals handle things. All signs of a willingness to admit what wasn't working before needed to be thrown out.

About time for a class-action lawsuit, which will inevitably lose but provide some fodder to the media...

I personally think it's better that we get out in front of the obvious elephant in the room before cartoons of JR bathing/basking in buckets of gold and money gets to be the norm...I'm not going to defend him or Hahn, but we're better as a fanbase than resorting to the lowest common denominator. I'm not talking about SoxTalk per se, as much as some of the comments I'm reading at "national" articles or other internet sites without the diehard fan base.

So basically, with those words, you've just vanquished any hopes of this franchise really making a run at it with the same ownership and KW/RH still around...brilliant marketing technique, Brooks Boyer must be sporting the same shell-shocked look Sean Spicer did in early 2017. And admitted that the Padres kicked your butts yet again, this time in a completely different manner.

Not if Chris Sale cuts and slashes them all up first.

Jerry is coming back to install Gandhian non- violence in the fanbase protests?

At Wrigley?

Hulk? Palk? Smash!

Bring back Dallas Comegys, Mark Aguirre and Tyrone Corbin.

Don’t forget the boat, bait and harpoon...and don’t go out in the exact opposite conditions of A PERFECT STORM and come back empty-handed. Or bring back all the whale’s friends, but no actual whale. We went for Nemo, and ended up with Dory instead, no disrespect to Ellen’s voice acting intended.

MVP Sports Group is based out of LA, just down the road from SD on the freeway...unless he has residence in another state for tax purposes, probably somewhere like South Dakota.

Stockholm Syndrome...brainwashed by Hahn/Tony Robbins-Speak. That’s the only remotely plausible explanation.

The Ides of March...oops, that’s the 15th, but still a Shakespearean tragedy in the making.

The Padres had significant assumed debt and their own stadium renovation costs to handle privately...didn’t manage to fatally hamstring them.

Is this J. Michael Robertson back again in a management shill form? This has to be about the worst rationale I’ve ever heard for fans to get behind.

All we got is a bloated carcass to drag back into port that’s been ravaged by sharks and remoras eating the detritus...

Great, we can debate Norris’ character again...or not. I guess one positive is the Sox didn’t sign him, at least.

Does that really matter to casual baseball fans or 12 year old kids?

We haven’t combed through the list of High Liquidity Middle Eastern and Asian billionaires quite yet...not every single one of them can buy a football club.

Sounds like a familiar rock ballad...

Weak or strong, regardless, we’re not going to attract anyone of premier ability unless the creaking rebuild actually gets going in a positive direction after stalling out.
