Comments on: The Peavy Incident http://rumorsandrants.com/2009/08/the-peavy-incident.html Goes Down Easy With Little Or No Aftertaste Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:43:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Avenging Jack Murphy http://rumorsandrants.com/2009/08/the-peavy-incident.html/comment-page-1#comment-9369 Avenging Jack Murphy Tue, 04 Aug 2009 20:24:01 +0000 http://rumorsandrants.com/?p=9039#comment-9369 "If he had announced from day one that Peavy was off the table and that the team was going to keep him no matter how hard it was on the financial side of things, I guarantee fans would be showing up to the ballpark despite the Padres’ 43-63 record." I don't know....our fans are pretty shitty. Have you ever looked in the stands at a game in Petco? You'd really have no idea it was in San Diego. The FO erred by saying that they HAD to trade Jake. This admission drove down their bargaining power. Anyways, I'll still wear my #44 throwback. Good to see there are other passionate Padre fans out there. “If he had announced from day one that Peavy was off the table and that the team was going to keep him no matter how hard it was on the financial side of things, I guarantee fans would be showing up to the ballpark despite the Padres’ 43-63 record.”

To everyone else - I hope this isn't rude, but is every single Padre fan reading and commenting on this site? Cause if not, we can't be missing more than a few... McD – maybe you need dueling posts?

Combine that with his horrendous postseason record (just 3 starts but he's been terrible in all three) and maybe Peavy really isn't worth $16m a year.

The front office sucks right now, and the owners just simply aren't concerned with winning. The Pads aren't that far removed from just missing out on their third straight NL West title and now the over/under on losses is in the triple digits. But still, they're my team and unless they raze the statue of Tony outside of the stadium they'll always be my team. They White Sox may have just become my favorite AL team though. A healthy Peavy in that rotation would be tough to deal with. Best of luck #44, I hope you know that your fans here are still your fans.
