Bud black canned, Dave Roberts (the steal) to replace him.

Don't think he's the main reason for them underperforming but it's not a shock, can't beat LAD and are under .500 through 65 games. Hoping this leads to them playing better, but I'm not feeling too good about it.

Yeah, the Red Sox experiment has failed even more so than the Padres so far. Wouldn't be shocked if their manager was the next to go, and if they were smart they'd do it quick and go after bud black. At least they're in a division where it doesn't look like any team will run away with it(Jays are on fire but will slow down sooner or later) while LAD is 11 games over .500 and will probably run away with the NLW.

That man has a lot of skin between his bottom lip and the bottom of his chin. Wow.

Girl's okay. 2nd tier for MLB WAGs.

Bud is laughing his ass off at those fools. The Padres were fortunate to have him as long as they did. I just hope Darren Balsley doesn't go with him.

Buddy is a quality manager. He has also been in SD for ever, without any success. Let him move on to another organization and win a handful of rings.

This year, he was handed a roster full of garbage and told to make a gourmet meal out of it. When he couldnt, the headline-chasing front office had no options but to let him go. The losing was OBVIOUSLY not their fault. Right?

"Roster full of garbage?" Trolling not so subtle pal. :rolleyes2:

SD has always been very laid back and willing to accept a .500 or below ball club while drawing an average of 28,000 fans per game. It's always been about the ballpark experience and notreally about winning or losing. Now come the new owners who spill big bucks into the equation and I guess they want results so nice guy Buddy Black is history. Pads can compete with LA and SF but can't beat them consistently. Best player is Justin Upton who is everything advertised but he is a one year rental. Can't afford him next year.

Will new manager help? Maybe temporarily but not in long run. Padres are in the wrong division to compete every year with LA and SF.
