Does the Machado deal mean now that the Padres *aren't* the most boring team in baseball history...?

[First Speaker]

...I mean it. Fifty years old, and if someone says "Padres", what do you think of? Well, Tony Gwynn. OK, I'll give you him. He was gweat. But for fifty whole years...? I vaguely remember they had Dick Williams managing for awhile in his King Lear old age--not that he was ever anything but a Mad King. Apart from that, I vaguely recall 50 years of "rebuilding". I can recall all sorts of stuff about the Mets, the Astros, the Rangers, the Royals--especially them--the Expos/Nats, the Marlins...even the Rays. How they were so good for so long, with no resources and no ballpark. But the Padres...? Wake me up in another fifty years...

[Pantagruel]

1. Not at all!

They've opted for BROWN uniforms.
Case closed.

2. I wish we had Don Orsillo back.

[SHRED]

3. Al Ferrara, Ceto Gaston, Clay Kirby

I go way back.

[First Speaker]

4. And Nate Colbert...

...don't forget Nate Colbert, who was actually a pretty good player for a few years. Then he was finished, at 28. That seemed symbolic even at the time to me...guys like Lee May, or Boog Powell, had long and successful careers. The padres' guy was washed up at 28...

5. He was awesome
