Nor would the signing of Omar Vizquel.
What are they thinking out there? Are they trying to have the least powerful middle infield of all-time?

Part of me wonders if it might have anything to do with the owner's impending divorce:
ReplyDeleteJohn Moores's lawyer- "You can't have the Padres."
Mrs. Moores's lawyer-- "Why not? We get half your assets anyway."
Moores's lawyer-- "Ok, but you won't want them. I mean, they'll have Omar Frickin Vizquel as the everyday shortstop. That turd my client left in the 4th upstairs bathroom of the summer home will be more valuable than the Padres, and less stinky, by July. Why not take that instead?"
Mrs. Moores's lawyer-- "Well, we take half that turd then over the Padres."
Thanks Sarah, I appreciate it. Never hesitate to take a pot shot or two when you think I've messed something up, though. I've got thick skin.
ReplyDeleteTodd - you may have solved the mystery my friend. That makes more sense than anything else I've heard.
