In a Van Down by the River

It looks like our favorite general manager will return next season to lead the Padres to another first-round playoff exit.
GM Kevin Towers, who answers to the colorful nickname "KT," and mananger Bruce Bochy are reportedly expected back, says team boss Sandy Alderson.
Because somebody has to win the worst division in baseball, San Diego made the playoffs in back to back seasons for the first time in club history, only to get eliminated by St. Louis both times.
But Padres fans everywhere can rest assured that the future is bright because KT will provide the farm system with can't-miss draft picks who blossom into home-grown superstars. You know, guys like Sean Burroughs, Kevin Nicholson, Jake Gautreau, Mark Phillips, Matt Halloran and of course, Matt Bush (pictured).
Bush, the former Mission Bay High star, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 draft but still hasn't made it out of low Class A ball and is already considered a bust by many experts. But on the bright side, he hasn't been arrested recently. So the Chargers have no interest in him.
Bush is really in a no-win situation. Perhaps he should change his last name. No matter what he does, he's either compared to another former San Diego area high school star or he's compared to a certain two-term President with record low approval ratings.
Maybe Matt Bush should become a motivational speaker and change his name to Matt Foley. We can't think of any negative connotations with that name.
