BREAKING NEWS: Vicente Padilla turns down starring role in new “Nightmare on Elm Street” movie to pitch for Dodgers!
In all seriousness, though. Why in the world did the Dodgers sign Vicente Padilla?
...So the fans would have someone to actively disdain every day and make negative character assessments about?
...As a cautionary tale for their young Latino fanbase?
...To start a swine flu epidemic in Los Angeles?
Are they trying to ruin the best team chemistry in MLB? This article has one of the best headlines I've ever seen: "Los Angeles Dodgers: Vicente Padilla Brings Uncertainly, Swine Flu." Is that what his scouting report says? They forgot "ability to incite brawls" and "penchant for alienating teammates."
Bizarre move, Ned. For those of us keeping score at home, let me sum this up: you had pretty good odds of making the World Series as constituted, and had opportunities to add Cliff Lee or Roy Halladay to your staff and, reportedly, Adrian Gonzalez and/or Heath Bell at the trading deadline and we're talking about your favorable odds to win it all. But you opted to pull Vicente Padilla out of the Rangers' dumpster instead.
...I'm starting to wonder how good you are at being a GM. Jason Schmidt, Andruw Jones, re-signing Furcal, being totally in the dark about Manny, not making a major move at the deadline and watching the other NL contenders get better...Prospects are just prospects. You've got the money now get some balls.
Also, will you please build a subway extension from Union Station to Dodger Stadium? Think about how amazing and sensible that would be. Think about how many more people who are discouraged by traffic and the parking situation ::raises hand:: would actually go to games more than once or twice a season.
Come on, get your act together.
