This uninspired brand of baseball, where the level of hustle is completely lacking blows dog nutz........I am about to shelf the season for a month or so......it's just boring to watch.........you know, it's one thing to play hard and lose to a better team.......but playing poorly and losing to teams that aren't better is just crap ! If we're to support our team shouldn't we also show them when we've had enough of this ?
I'd like to see Bochy meltdown, wigout, show some frigg'n emotion, and light a bonfire under thier asses.......I know that's not his style, but his style of laid back managing isn't working for shit ........ the scene from Bull Durham comes to mind........these guys are definately "lolly gaggers"
Maybe it is time for a change at the manager position........and I'm a Bochy fan saying this.........
I'm with you padrefan. I can't stand to watch this anymore. WTF is REALLY going on here? Hell, I've seen more exciting non-baseball at a Little League game.......
Screw it..... :givemebee

Yah it's really sad........the season is far from over for sure.....but uninspired baseball leads to uninspired fandome.......and without fans watching, what's the point ?
Shouldn't have gotten rid of Witasick. He is the key to EVERYTHING.
lol, you joking Witlon?

Ramon is asking for 40/4? God damn. Who does he think he is...Jason Varitek?
As for catchers on the farm, George Kottaras was highly touted last year, haven't read up on him much.
Kotteras is the future.....but that future is still a year away at least......so they will either sign him for less than 40mil......or they will hire a bandaid ....... again
"band-aid" = Brad Ausmus

exactly who I thought of too........... ugh !!
Ben Davis......Benito......one would think that with Bochy being a catcher that the Pads would have the catcher position locked....but NOOOOOO, have we ever had a day to day, go to guy, quality catcher?

We have one right now, and i'm sure the plan is to keep him....if he doesn't keep demanding 10 mil/year anyways.
Ausmus isn't too bad of a fill in till Kotteras is ready, although i'd rather keep Ramon (but not for 10 per)

I am a huge Ramon fan. I think he gets the job done well and he contributes offensively. As catchers go, I believe he is average. If he thinks he is worth 4/40 he won't be sticking around Padreville. He'll be gone to the highest bidder first chance he gets. You can bet the Pads won't give him what he wants.

that's if KT is still here...
Anyways, I want Ramon resigned as much as anyone else, but he is NOT the best in the game, and even if he was I don't want to see us handing out anymore 10 mil/year contracts. I'd be reluctant to even give Peavy one of those, and if anyone on this roster is worth 10 per it's Peavy.
