LOL @ the Giants.

Dude wanted to win and so he came to the Gaslamp.

Can you blame him?

Gas Light district is the best thing about Padres' games.

Giants will miss the playoffs this year. Think division goes LA-SD-SF-AZ-COL.

Shields puts them over the top into contender status. They just better hope that OF can stay healthy since 2 of the 3 are injury prone.

Out of context story, much?

Shields did not turn down the Giants offer "to go to the Padres". He turned down the offer because he was a moron, trying to milk the system. The Giants had a spot to fill, so they moved on, taking the offer off the table. Weeks later, the market dried up and Shields was forced to take a lesser offer. He played the game and he "lost".

The Padres are a contender, no question. But to paint it in any other light than the above is worthy...
