Dirty Question

Watching football at the moment, second game of the day and recovering from the sorrow of watching the Jets get their heinies whopped again. Although I live in the same area as the Chargers, I hadn't watched any of their games until now.
I wish I hadn't today either.
First of all, who in the hell's idea was it to dress them up in shiny, trailer-trash-baby-blue-bridesmaid-reject uniforms? And helmets that look like they were painted with leftover housepaint? Incredibly ugly.
But here's the real question: What is up with the huge swatch of bare dirt in the middle of the field? Did San Diego have to make budget cuts and decided they could let the groundskeepers go?
Inquiring minds (who hate unfashionable uniforms) want to know.
By the way, I should point out that I always evaluate football teams by how nice the uniforms are, how cute the quarterback is, and if the coach looks like an unmitigated dick (Pittsburg).
And I have won at least 4 office football pools using just those criteria.
Neener neener.

That big patch of dirt in the middle of the field is the baseball diamond.
Qualcomm Stadium (The "Q") is used for both Padres' and Charger's home games. That'd probably be an issue if baseball and football held the same seasons...

Thank you, Greg. :)
That did occur to me, but it just seemed so darn long swath rather than mound-ish. But I haven't watched baseball since I was a little kid, perhaps that's what they're looking like lately.

And what does a mitigated dick look like?

Well, since "mitigate" means to make less severe or intense, I'd guess a mitigated dick would be pretty limp.

It's the whole baseball diamond, not just the pitcher's mound.
If I ever get around to posting my pics of the charger's preseason game we went to, you can see the whole diamond.
OH, and I meant GAMES not seasons.

Found out from a Spanos that the Chargers are "definitely" moving to L.A. no matter what San Diego comes up with.

Nice, eh?
