November 8, 200322 yr San Diego has gone to the dogs, literally. The Pads are playing bad and the new park is named after PETCO. At least they have the new ballpark to replace the Q aka Jack Murphy Stadium, and what a beauty it will be. The question is who will it favor if anyone other than the palm trees?
