Weathers has made some valid points regarding the poor officiating in the Chargers playoff games. Blown calls, no calls, phantom calls were rampant. Here is the problem, this type of horrible officiating has gone on since the dawn of sports. The Chargers played a valiant game. Injuries and poor coaching had as much, or more to do with the loss then myopic officiating. If one wishes to view a case study of bad calls look at the, REFEREE FIXED, Suns VS San Antonio playoff series. What a joke! Major sports are truly on the edge of ruin. Steroids, overpaid mediocre players, cheating officials, ridiculous seat prices, and a general mentality of "WE ARE ABOVE THE LAW" spell big trouble. Add the stock market, with more blood then Johnny Depp spills in Sweeney Todd, and you have big, negative, economic potential for sports. I love Baseball, enjoy Football and tolerate Basketball and I for one am very worried about the future of "the game".
Back to San Diego and lighter notes. Watch as spring training unfolds. I predict The Padres will sign a partial, or full retread to fill a gaping hole on the team. Said retread will do a yeoman's job of leading the "Pads" in OBP, when a lefty is pitching, after the 6th inning, in weather of less then 69 degrees, on the road, east of the Mississippi. Another meaningless stat brought to you by your San Diego Padres.
Enough for now, I do not want to tax your gray matter so early in the day.

That hypothetical addition to the Padres sounds like a great bench buy. He's an ideal pinch hitter against lefty relievers in night games. There is definitely a spot on the bench available for a guy like that.
