I feel like everyone should take a turn being a long suffering Padres fan to really appreciate what the Giants bring to the table.

The last time we won a World Series was never.  We’ve been to the World Series twice (only once since I first moved to San Diego). In my life as a fan, we’ve been to the playoffs a grand total of five times.

Sure, the current management is spending like a drunken sailor, and I’m excited to see what Soto and Tatis do together for the next 1+ years (if Tatis gets back from the DL).  But also, if we don’t win, we are looking at a long winter, with a decimated farm system and perennial concern that ownership will change its mind and sell all the pieces.

It boggles the mind that a fan base who witnessed a record breaking run put together by a team consisting of some aging vets and held together by duct tape and bailing wire has “lost all faith” in management because they don’t also spend like drunken sailors and have a team that is three games under .500.

I got the world’s smallest violin for you fair weather fans.

I’m certainly critical at times. But fair weather?  Ah, no.  Anyone that’s been a Giants fan for 60 years has seen a whole lot of lean times.  I ain’t going anywhere.
