Gaslamp Ball

You know going into this season the Padres really seemed like they were going to be good.  Hearing descriptions about how the Padres had improved at several positions, stand out players from last year were only going to improve and young players were going to thrive and grow into bonafied major leaguers.

It's kinda like somebody asking if you'd like to see a busty redhead with alabaster skin wearing an unbuttoned Padres jersey draped across her bosom with a bat slung across her shoulders.  That sounds pretty nice don't it?

But much like the Padres, once you see the product that you've been hearing about the expectations don't really meet the reality of what you're seeing with your own eyes.

Then you're left audibly sighing or gasping with displeasure.
