So the Padres are offering $1 hot dogs and $1 regular size soft drinks – as well as $1 off beer – at all home games in July.
Hot dog! How about lowering the ticket prices at Petco Park while they’re at it?
The team’s home attendance is down more than 10 percent from last season.
You could blame it on our country’s weak economy. Or you could get real and blame it on the fact that the Padres have the second-worst record in Major League Baseball.
Let’s face it: You get what you pay for, and the Padres’ years of signing old veterans to contracts and getting lucky has finally run out on them.
Back to the hot dogs: Isn’t it ironic that the lower concession prices come in a month when the Padres have only nine home games; the fewest in any month this season?
Here is the team’s spin on the July concession prices:
“We are excited about this program, which is based in part on input from our fans,” CEO Sandy Alderson said. “We hope July Dollar Days will provide some relief to our fans from higher gas prices and the current overall economy.”
If the Padres really want to provide relief to fans, how about providing some relief in their bullpen (among other things) and a few more wins?

Whoever owns this blog, I would like to say that he has a great idea of choosing a topic.
For us when we visit some blog site our main objective is to ensure that we will be entertained with this blog.
So the Padres are lowering prices at their concessions stands during a nine home game month to help the fans. Here is an idea; how about lowering the prices to watch the games since you have lowered the talent level on the field? If you are going to be watching Double A and Triple A baseball how about the same level of ticket pricing? It sounds fair to me.
