Padres can't draw flies at Petco Park


Did anybody else notice how low the Padres’ attendance was this past weekend at Petco Park?

Playing their only home series in a three-week span, it seemed like the Padres couldn’t draw flies.

Friday night, Cy Young winner Jake Peavy pitched against the defending National league champion Colorado Rockies. Attendance: 31,057.

Saturday night, Greg Maddux earned his 350th career victory on a night when free Peavy T-shirts were given to fans. Attendance: 34,117. (Those free T-shirt giveaways used to draw 65,000 fans at Qualcomm Stadium.)

Sunday afternoon, the Padres won a series for the first time in nearly two months. Attendance: 28,624.

Obviously, the fans are already being turned off by the Padres.

When do the Chargers kick off their season?

Did you see where the Padres just lost to the Cubs 12-3? I guess this means nobody will come to the park when they come back home next week.

Well I guess all good things have to come to end as did the Padres modest two game winning streak; but hey it was fun while it lasted. LOL.
