this team didn't win the 2002 world series. 
that's a weird comment.
an entirely different cast of players playing great baseball won that series and deservedly so too. 

I'm down to see how Jose Suarez does his second time around.
Dear God we need some guys in our farm system to step up in a big way or we're toast. That's not just this season (probably already out of it) but years to come. 
Also, I'm not talking about just starters, but depth. Our depth guys from our farm system have been utter dog shit this season. 
Walsh, Thiass, Ward, etc.etc. 
Adell has looked lost as well, which really sours the optimism for the future as well since he's our #1 prospect. If Jo doesn't look out, Marsh may top him as our best prospect on the farm. 

there are shades of the gambler's fallacy in this, to me.
i know it's not exactly the same, but i see it peaking through.

So we sign Trevor Cahill to a 1 year, $9 million contract and move him into the bullpen midseason, and then a year later we sign Julio Teheran to the exact same contract to do the same thing.

You are in denial. But I’d love to be wrong

You edited that and still got it wrong? 

the angels are so bad it's mind bottling.

No better time for Trout to opt out of this season and call Arte to give him his short list. 

the accepted vernacular is idoit. 

i would be happy to pay any player a one year contract for whatever value is agreed upon. no team was ever hamstrung by a one year deal. let bauer get as much per year as he can get based on what he did the year prior and what the team may expect him to do in the current year. sounds good to me.

Anyone want to bet the 4-7 batters will out perform their .178 batting average tonight?

The Padres are 1/2 a game back of a playoff spot.

If only our players were irresponsible and went to strip clubs and casinos.....got CV and had games postponed.  We'd be .500 and right in the thick of the playoff race!

Isn't every team in playoff contention? 

They also have Tatis playing at a MVP level and are looking to make the playoffs for the first time in over 10 years in what's looking like a crappy NL field outside of the top team or two in each division.  They won't be selling on Richards unless it's a deal they'd be foolish not to pull the trigger on.  It's more likely they extend him.

the accepted vernacular is idoit. 

I am thinking we should do a sell off so to speak.  Trade Robles, Goodwin and possibly La Stella if they aren’t planning on resigning him.  Trade them all for pitching.  

Padres aren’t going to trade Richards this year.  

This season blows
