Moores wants more

Padres owner John Moores says he's not going anywhere anytime soon. He'll retain the Padres for the foreseeable future.

“The goal has always been to play meaningful games in September,” Moores said. “We clearly have not met that target this year, but I want to do it again next year. That's the priority. Last year, we got within an out of postseason play. And I thought potentially we had at least as good a team coming back. Everybody thought the West was going to be whole lot stronger than it has been. I don't really understand why it hasn't. We're going to try and take it apart and figure it all out.”

I'm surprised the West wasn't better myself. It's been a big disappointment as a division.
