One person makes an innocent comment about being a Padres fan, and both Boston and New York can't help themselves by trying to diminish anyone but themselves. 400+ million in payroll and you still can't pull it off. Go Phillies! Go Tampa Bay! Go ANYONE but Boston and New York. You still equate spending twice as much on players as being &quot;smart&quot;. Let's all hope that 2009 brings us the same joy as 2008...another Boston and New York exit from the playoffs. Thank you God ! 3350709 2008-11-15T19:25:29-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/781/7/thumb/madhatter.jpg 1134 TX madhatter 7837 21 Peavy is an idiot with his trade demands. He wants to go to teams that won't give up any decent talent to the Padres. I hope he ends up playing for the Mariners. 3349649 2008-11-14T22:23:47-05:00 5 IN evilempire Warsaw 180463 Yes I'm a Padres fan and a Yankees hater as many on Fannation know. But still, there is no way Peavy belongs with the Yankees in that media market and imbicile fandom arena. As a Padres fan, I have lifted myself out of denial and now sadly accept now that Peavy will be gone. But there is now way he will be happy in the northeast of this country and with all of the pressure, ignorance, and the Steinbrenners in his face. You have no idea what it's like until you get there. If Randy Johnson isn't a cautionary tale for Peavy, than I do not know what is. 15 1998 still hurts doesn't it. 3345058 2008-11-15T15:56:11-05:00 2161 EastCoastKeith 11040 1998 still hurts doesn't it. 20 sure does... YES Network replayed the whole dam series all summer too. 3348392 2008-11-15T13:33:01-05:00 1 WA YanksGrinder Seattle 608895 19 I lived in San Diego for years and I must say they have the worst Padres fans ever. NYers stick by their teams forever. You pass it down to your kids. The Padres will always be losers, while the Yanks always are gunning for the top. Just because we have an owner who's willing to shell out more than yours (who owns the Pads anyways....the wife?) doesn't mean he has to be the consistent object of ridicule. I tire of having an all-star at every position because the Yanks need more grinders like Jeet. Tell you what Pads, A-Rod for Peavy straight-up. LOL 3347583 2008-11-14T16:21:50-05:00 1118 CA Yankee27 Castaic 188694 3 If the Yankees offer Phil Hughes, Melky Cabrera, and another prospect... there is no possible way the Paders wont take that offer. C.C., Peavy, Burnett, Joba, Wang... best 1 through 5 ever! 3342782 2008-11-15T13:27:52-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/798/2/thumb/1271421131_l.jpg 133 RI tommy9central Newport 8002 If the Yankees offer Phil Hughes, Melky Cabrera, and another prospect... there is no possible way the Paders wont take that offer.

Then give him the kind of money a pitcher of his stature would command on the free agent market. 3346326 2008-11-15T02:48:13-05:00 3 GA slim23692003 Douglasville 113970 16 I don't really know what the Padres where looking for from the Braves, a whole new team? Every day it seemed that the Padres kept asking for one more person, and then another, and then two more. Plus, they hadn't even talked with Peavy or his agent. I don't know who is running things out there in San Diego, but they are not doing a very good job. 3346183 2008-11-14T15:14:15-05:00 2161 EastCoastKeith 11040 1 Yes I'm a Padres fan and a Yankees hater as many on Fannation know.

If he helps them win a WS, he'd be treated better here than almost anywhere else. Going to the Cubs and losing doesn't do or mean anything. Anyone can go there and lose, everyone who has gone there has lost. 3343845 2008-11-14T19:58:19-05:00 2161 EastCoastKeith 11040 You don't think he'd be treated with respect by Yankee fans?

It's Planet Mars compared to the environment of sports fanaticism in the New York City tri-state area. As a Padres fan living in New Jersey, who's been to both Petco as well as Yankee Stadium, there are no similarities what so ever. Why do you think it's going to take a ridiculous amount of money to talk Sabathia out of going where really he wants - back to California? 3344230 22 <p>The Padres have publicly suggested they may need to expand their search for a landing spot for star pitcher <strong>Jake Peavy</strong> beyond the Braves, Cubs and Dodgers after some believed a deal with Atlanta could be within reach, and the Yankees, along with the Angels, are seen as places Peavy might consider approving. Peavy's agent Barry Axelrod said again in an interview with SI.com that Peavy much prefers the National League and suggested they he would require more financial inducements to accept a deal to teams lower on his preferred list, even beyond a full no-trade. (Peavy now has a complete no-trade but only for the next two years.)</p> 23441 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY Jon Heyman New York 10084
