Analyzing "Padres: The Sad Truth"

Baseball fans traditionally associate early February with the fondest of emotions. The failures of the last season are soon forgotten as the hopeful turn their gaze and calendars to April. Even San Diego, a hard-luck baseball town if there ever was (ask us about our indoor soccer team!) is generally not immune.

Change The Padres is trying to convince Padres fans that "enough is enough".

In the midst of the fond expectancy of spring, one fan decided that he's had enough. Change the Padres (nee David Marver) showed his documentary to Scott Miller of CBSSports.com, and then to a national audience.  His bones-to-pick with the front office are numerous, divided among three central arguments (The Padres have lied to you., The Padres are the cheapest team in baseball., New ownership = old ownership.). Like any good PSA, the final segment dedicates itself to informing you, disgruntled viewer, how to hit the Padres where it hurts.

The video is long-winded, as such, my response will be exasperatingly lengthy.
