Top 10 Reasons why people didn't go to the Chargers game.
10. Bad economy, duh.
9.They would rather go turkey hunting and pretend its Norv Turner they're shooting.
8. They would rather stay home and watch popcorn cook. It starts slow, warms up, pops and then burns, same as the Chargers.
7. Bridget Jones Diary Part 2 was on Sunday at 1.
6. You really think people are going to pay after last week's performance?
5. Padres game was on.
4. Why be loyal to a team that isn't loyal to its players?
3. You can just watch it online.
2. We would rather be passive like the owners.
1. A.J Smith is a prick

Reflecting on Chargers Week 1 Loss
Negative commentary.
4 Straight passes from the 4 with a minute on the clock? Really?
Giving up that much for Mathews was a mistake, rookie looked over his head. Fumble cost the team 7 points. AJ Smith hasn't a good draft since 06.
Sproles looked like a scared little puppy, he just had nothing this game.
Floyd isn't ready to be a #1, get Vincent Jackson back ASAP.
By not signing McNeill and Jackson long term, it looks like AJ won't get Rivers a ring just like LT. No moves have been made to say " Hey, this GM is going all out trying to win one"
Noise was a factor and so was the rain, but who's brilliant idea was it to start the game that late?
Mistakes, mistakes and some more mistakes, this team needs a real HC, you can't dig a hole for yourself like that against a mediocre team like the Chiefs.
I thought Cromartie and his school of missed tackles was traded a few months back? Sure looks like it didn't.
Where is Kassim Osgood when you need him? Scifres had 3 touchbacks, 2 more than he had ALL LAST SEASON.
Gates was double and triple teamed late in the game, a WR has to step up.
Mathews looked like LT last night, and by that I mean falling at the line of scrimmage.
Positive Commentary
Week 1, still 15 games left, but this was one they should have had.
Rivers looked pretty sharp despite the weather.
As I predicted, no Jackson just means more Gates.
Dombrowski preformed very well last night
Defense looks sharp, not too much of a concern.
AFC West is still terrible and the Chargers to lose
Suggestions for next week
More deep balls to Floyd
More Mike Tolbert
Better punt coverages, Scifres had 3 beauties last night that went into the endzone.

Padres AAA Player of the Year
Been a while since my last post, but now that the minor league regular season has ended its time to look back at the top performers, highest ceiling and biggest disappointment.
Player of the Year- Cedric Hunter
A year after struggling at AA San Antonio, the 22 year old was back with the Missions and he put himself back on the map. With a line of .308/.373/.423 in one of the toughest hitter leagues in the minors, he struggled after his promotion to AAA but finished with a combined .287/.342/.397 line to end the year. He was very patient at the plate, with a 47/44 BB/K ratio. He needs some more polish, but the 2006 3rd round pick is looking like he could compete for the CF job in the next year or two.
Highest Ceiling- Cory Luebke
Cory has since been promoted to the big leagues but boy did he look great at the minor league level. Going 10-1 with a 2.68 ERA and a 88/29 K to Strikeout ratio across two levels. He is the most polished arm in the system and for good reason, a lefty who hides the ball well, and comes at you with a low 90's fastball and average secondary pitches. He struggled in his first start but that is expected of young pitchers. Newspaper reports he was in awe of Petco Park and the crowd, expect Cory to have a big impact the rest of the season, and possibly be a part of next years starting rotation out of Spring Training.
Biggest Disappointment- Aaron Poreda
The prize of the Jake Peavy trade has been nothing but disappointing so far, struggling with his command at both the AA and AAA levels. A 47/64 Strikeout to BB ratio will not get it done anywhere, especially as a reliever. Which is what the organization seems to see him as now, since he only has one start in his last 10 appearances. Looking back at the entire Peavy trade the only bright spot has been Ryan Webb, he's been a serviceable reliever.
