You know, as much as I appreciate the creativity that the San Diego Padres showcased in arriving to an away stadium in style, I don't think enough is being made of this missing team bus. I'm sure there's a logical explanation that the organization was made privy to shortly after they were left momentarily stranded, but I still feel there was a clear lack of an initial concern for a misplaced motor-coach. Oh well, such is reality when you're part of a Major League ball club I suppose, but I can't help but feel those currently playing for Minor League ball clubs didn't get theirs checked by seeing how expendable the vehicle by which their lackluster livelihood is made at all possible is in the bigs. I'd imagine the refusal of one wheel to go round-and-round is liable to cause the rescheduling of some random suburbia's season in Single A, and yet a complete vehicular no-show is nothing more than an excuse for a professional team to get treated to the sights and sounds provided by a topless tour of sunny San Fran. I'm sure the guys that proved less than ripe in the Grapefruit League already know they are the guts to the glory of Major League Baseball. Still, not even a walk-off RBI in front of 155 people drives home the point that they are very much an independent production in comparison to 'The Show' as well as having their hellscape of a mobile home viewed as more disposable than a missing television remote. Especially by players whose "inconvenience" was immediately met with a hero's welcome through the downtown area of the beautiful city they were visiting.
