#30@Lance Richardson: #32@Geoff Young: Just saw "Heaven or Las Vegas" was one of your road albums on the way to Cooperstown from the 2008 annual. Thought I'd reference them last night to cheer us up. Great band and great album. 4AD has a lot of great bands. Over and out, Jon

#2@parlo: I’m not sure what you’re referring to specifically, but whenever I’ve heard Alderson try to address fans as though they are intelligent, his message invariably isn’t understood.

#17@Pat: Huh, interesting theory.

#30@Lance Richardson: Yep, can’t get me enough Cocteaus.

#29@Oside Jon:

Jon, I am a HUGE Cocteau Twins fan, and I believe Geoff is, as well.

I’ll put on “Blue Bell Knoll” now, and bid thee goodnight…

Oh no.

I watched the French Connection instead. Gene Hackman rules. So do the Cocteau Twins. Good night baseball.

#26@Field39: It's still baseball. Better than basket ball or hockey. Besides, fair weather fans don't count anyway.

Crap. I’ve rooted for some VERY bad Padre teams over the last 35 years, so I can handle this.

Sadly, I saw this coming (Geoff can attest that I told him so during Spring Training.). This is a bad team, and Chase Headley in LF wouldn’t add more than one or two wins over the course of a season.

The organization needs to begin stockpiling young talent, by any means necessary. I can deal with a couple of rough seasons, if I have a sense that the FO has a plan. Bell, Young, Giles, Maddux, Meredith, and either Kouz or Headley should all be on the market. If the majority of those players haven’t been flipped by this time next year for talent that might play a role in the next contending Padre team, then I’ll start complaining.
