San Diego Sports
This was a long week. I decided on Monday to record all my thoughts through the 1pm PST MLB Trade Deadline today. The Padres were rumored to make moves all week. Nothing and everything happened. Monday July 27th 11:35am The Padres are the same as they were yesterday. First look at Twitter was uneventful. Mostly […]
This week Dallas is on vacation, but Nick and Travis take the keys with special guest Nicholas Burmeister AKA @padreshaiku on Twitter. They have a fun chat about the up coming MLB trade deadline, Dick Enberg, and the #PadresPoetry sub genre on Padres Twitter. Then they get into the Chargers and the stadium issue and […]
At this point the Padres have to ask themselves: what are we doing? What sort of team would we like to be moving forward? Justin Upton answered that question pretty loudly right after the break, when he made it very clear he’d like to stay in San Diego. Sure, it could’ve been just a smart […]
This week the guys talk about Grantland’s article, and their response. They also break out the trade machine, but with almost no names mentioned it’s more of a value machine. Nick and Travis talk to Sean O’Donnell (Yellowcard, Reeve Oliver) about the second half of the season, and we hear a little words of wisdom […]
Yesterday on Grantland.com, Rany Jazayerli outlined how AJ Preller basically destroyed the Padres franchise in a matter of days. He pinpointed the trades that were made this past offseason, and how basically every single one of them hurt the Padres not only this season, but for the unforeseeable future. He’s not wrong. However, he wasn’t […]
Eight games under .500 isn’t the end of the world, but it’s the world we live in. The next two weeks will be the most important stretch the San Diego Padres have had in a long time. Are they going to be buyers or sellers at the deadline? Can they be sellers going into their […]
This week Dallas is joined by Brady Phelps from Lobshots.com as they both interview Molly Knight about her new book “The Best Team Money Can Buy: The Dodgers Wild Struggle to Build A Baseball Powerhouse”. They talk about Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig, Adrian Gonzalez, and way too much about Zack Greinke. Molly brings some of […]
The guys breakdown the sadness that is the All-Star Game – when you’re a Padres fan. They also wonder if Melvin makes Justin bad at Baseball. The guys also discuss Antonio Gates and his future, how steroids have always been used in football, and do San Diegans really want the Comic Con over the Chargers? […]
My friend Nick Burmeister AKA @padreshaiku and I started talking about the Padres Canon, what that means, and what/who should be included throughout Padres history. We want to continue the conversation over the rest of the season. The criteria (which you will see is still being worked out) is mainly based on merit, service time […]
The guys talk about Nick’s trip to Pittsburgh, a sports city with it’s crap together. The guys also talk about Pat Murphy’s “changes”, and bringing back the brown and gold. They also think it may be time for Enberg to go, and try to figure out why San Diego keeps bowing down to the Chargers […]
