Well atleast the Padres lead the league in personnel moves in the Front Office for the past 6 years or so. Those moves combined with long losing streaks is the ICON of the franchise. If you take a serious step back and you will see the Padres are moving right along with the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. Both making changes in leadership but the Policy remains the same and results are ridiculously poor. But we got Taco Tuesdays ! Things are looking up Padres fans ! I would like to thank Ex Padres CEO Tom Garfinkel for his outstanding services that he provided during his tenure here with the Padres. Garfinkel brought in some wonderful ideas and got the Padres back in good graces with the community despite their inability to create excitement on the field. Perhaps this is the first of many moves to come ahead, it’s almost one year since the new ownership group has taken over and yet not one significant roster move has been made.
Speaking of roster moves, just recently Padres GM Josh Byrnes was quoted in the Union-Tribune and MLBTradeRumors. The Padres are not into acquiring rentals at all. Hmmm, very very interesting statement made by Josh. I swear about a month ago that Josh had acquired a SS named Pedro Ciriaco from Boston for a player to be named later. A week ago, Ciriaco was released by the Padres and picked-up on waivers by the Kansas City Royals. Yeah ! Right ! The Padres are NOT into acquiring RENTALS. I got it ! *Winks* What did you just say Josh ?
This weekend promises to be an exciting one around the horn, mostly like there will be a few monster trades while the Padres are visiting America’s Finest Baseball City – St. Louis. I am glad Del Mar season has opened and the Chargers training camp is set to open next week. As I am really tired of the Padres and giving serious thoughts of blowing off the season now. As the Bill Collectors are coming soon, the Padres Season Tickets Representatives about next season. Ohhh I am not interested in a product that accepts long losing streaks and not willing to pull an unpopular trade to shake up the franchise. Time to close out this post with the usual blues music video by a rising blues musician named Larry Lampkin from Fort Worth, Texas. Lampkin gets down by playing the tune “Bill Collectors”. Dances my body away from them Bill Collectors until they prove to me that they have a legit product. Otherwise, I am going to barter on the prices for next season. Enjoy Padres Fans !
