On this current homestand I would have expect to see good crowds with three good quality teams, St. Louis Cardinals, Washington Nationals and New York Mets. Yeah Yeah I heard the fans might come out when the weather gets a bit warmer, but for crying outloud this is San Diego ! Not North Dakota ! Even where I work, I ask a few people why haven’t they been out to the games, and I get the same response all the time. It’s the Padres, they are lucky. I stand before them and say check out my blog, watch a game on TV, even better go to one game and be a judge for yourself. What truly amazes me, is we are damn lucky to even have a professional baseball franchise and a good one at that. Come on folks ! Many of you had criticized the Moores and Alderson regime, why not support this trio of Moorad, Garfinkel, and Hoyer? What I always hear from colleagues at work and abroad the streets of San Diego is. The team can’t win with a lousy hitting. Even the Nation wide sports writers are starting to notice the Padres, though I am sure they are also doubting that this team can make it to the playoffs.<\/p>\n
Well since we are speaking about the Padres and their lack of potent offense, let me bring a few real examples of teams that did make it deep into the playoffs and even two teams won the World Series.\n<\/p>\n
Now, the above facts speaks for themselves. Two out of three teams had WON a World Series, it’s so overlooked by those who expect big bombers and lot’s of runs scored. If you take a deeper look at those three teams above, the 1988 Los Angeles Dodgers were far more awful in terms of offensive performance than the 2010 Padres so far. Even the Padres pitching staff is performing above the 1988 Dodgers team. So, folks in San Diego, stop your whining about this Padres team that can’t hit. Give them time, there are many youngsters on this team that are learning the ropes of the Major Leagues while holding tight onto 1st place. Give them credit ! Come out and support them ! Cheer them on !<\/p>\n
As I wrap up this post, the Padres are on the verge of closing out the 2nd month of baseball and it’s time for San Diegan’s to get that BOUNCE in their legs and head down to Petco Park. It’s time to support this exciting team ! With that being said, the music video is of Blues Musician, the Blind man from N’Orleans Bryan Lee with the song titled “The Bounce”.<\/p>\n
