Sad times.

Buster Olney covered the Padres last time everybody was shipped out of town. Here's his take on what is happening now.

Should one man's personal life be able to have such a large (and long-term) effect on an entire fan base? I'm normally for deregulation, but the league should never let something like this happen. But, I'm sure nobody will care. Would the same thing have happened if the umpires would have called Holliday out for missing home plate?

Thanks for the upcoming decade of $2 seats, Mr. Moores. Mark Cuban, anyone?
