Why Padres owner is MIA
Padres owner John Moores has been noticeably absent from Petco Park for most of this season -- a fact that's fueled speculation among fans and even players about the last-place team's leadership and direction. Now we know one reason why he's been gone: After his wife, Becky, filed for divorce in January, he agreed to give her exclusive use of the managing partner's box in April, May, June and July, according to a filing in Superior Court. The idea was to "minimize confrontation" between the two. It was a plan that seemed to work as it related to the team -- at least until recently. The two since have fought over access to the managing partner's box -- a point that seems especially symbolic as the two sort out who ultimately will control the Padres, the couple's largest community asset.

Maybe Moore is taking the camo style uniform thing too seriously, and he's in some MLB type of POW camp...or Baltimore.

He's probably just MIA because he watched his team play too often this year

I believe John Moores also goes by the name "Mia" thus the reason for his wife's divorce proceedings. She didn't much like the cross-dressing routine !!!
