The state of the Padres is too sad for words. When does a life long Padres fan give up? The answer is supposed to be never, but when a team doesn't seem to care anymore how can a fan hang in there? Right now I am considering my loyalties. Are the Padres a bunch of overpaid underperforming athletes or are they a belief, an identity, a way of life? That's what i'm trying to figure out right now.
