I don't understand the venom being spewed at San Diego. They have never been a powerhouse, or feared in any way.
I do understand the Machado hate, I'm right there with you on that, but the hate for the Padres in general I don't understand.
With the teams that are probably in the playoff hunt, I'd rather see the Padres in the World Series than any of the other National league teams, the only thing that would bother me is seeing that punk Machado in the WS. If not for him, I'm rooting for the Padres all the way. So there lies the rub for me. Cheering on the Padres after the Brewers are eliminated will be tough all because of Machado.
Meh, who knows, who cares once the Brewers are eliminated, I lose interest anyway.
