Here is the opinion of my Dad on the 2011 Padres:
"Gat-damn they're boring. At the end of the day baseball is supposed to be entertaining, and lately it's just no fun to watch."
Pop has a point. To give you some reference on my parents, they go to about 25+ games a year, and if they go to a really good game they have been known to come home and watch the replay on Channel 4 of the game they just went to -- they are not people with huge expectations of constant entertainment. But you've got to give them something.
Obviously, it's the league-worst offense that results in the snooze-a-thons. But also they Padres usually only score runs in the 7th inning or later (or if in extra-innings, never) and with our leet pitching staff, you are looking at a 90ish minute commitment to dullness before anything of note happens, especially anything of positive note. So far it's just been one of those hang-with-em seasons yea?
