Padres are barely a professional team

The San Diego Padres don’t deserve to play in Major League Baseball.

Since becoming an MLB franchise in 1969, the Pdres have been little more than a distraction for the fine folks in Southern California. San Diego has only made the polayoffs on five occasions, won 90 or more games in a season four times, and won exactly three playoff series, with none since 1998.

On Thursday, the team added another ugly chapter to its history by blowing a 10-2 lead in the sixth inning, at home, to the Seattle Mariners. In fact, San Diego ended up losing by the count of 16-13 after allowing 14 consecutive runs over the sixth and seventh innings.

Incredibly, this disaster led manager Andy Green to call the loss “borderline inexplicable,” according to The Score. It stands as one of the more amazing comments in recent memory.

Borderline? Andy, did you watch that train wreck? It was incredibly, absolutely inexplicable. The Padres are now 21-34 and dead last in the National League West, once again showing massive ineptitude.

At this juncture, the Padres should tear that mess to the ground and start over. Hell, they should think of the fans and make a formal apology and then disband completely. Let a group of Little Leaguers use Petco Park.

San Diego, I apologize on behalf of the Padres for making you watch that atrocity on a nightly basis.
