The last time the Padres went to the playoffs was in 2006 led by Bruce Bochy when he was Padres manager. In 2007, Buddy Black was hired to change things around. In 2010, Buddy led the Padres as contenders and all they had to do was beat the San Francisco Giants but they lost the series and falling down back to second place, with no chance as Wild Card contenders as well. That year, the San Francisco Giants went on to win the World Series.
So what have the Padres done for the last 9 years in San Diego? Nothing! All they have accomplish was inviting fans from the visiting team to witness a few embarrassing beatings, complimentary from sunny San Diego.
The Padres have never had a pitcher with a no-hitter and a batter hit for the cycle. We had a few batters close to a cycle, Tony Gwynn being one of them (RIP). The last Padres pitcher to pitch a no-hitter was Chris Young.
Lets also include that ever since Bruce Bochy left, he has dominated the position as a MLB Manager. He led the Giants to 3 World Series, and won them, and also manage FIVE pitchers pitching a no-hitter (3 against the Padres). Why can't the Padres play like the Giants???
This year, I do appreciate the new owners of the Padres going out picking up a new line up (Matt Kemp doesn't count). Yup, Matt Kemp is trade bait now if anyone is willing to pick up a guy who failed his first physical and still swings the bat like he just got dumped by Rihanna. I thought the Padres had a chance this year, but both pitching and batting completely sucks. I'm ashamed to root for the Padres. I'm glad Bud Black got canned, but I'm upset that we can't hire a manager who can turn this team around. 2015 season is over. Nothing more to watch. Fade them all year and win some money.
So fill in the blank. The San Diego Padres are hamburgers.
