The first bit is quoted here:
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?
