There’s something about a great t-shirt, right? We put it on and think: “Yes. This is who I am.” T-shirts have been around since the beginning of the 20th century, first issued to U.S. soldiers and later popularized by movie stars such as Marlon Brando in the 1951 movie “A Streetcar Named Desire.” For every […]
Well, I uh…sure! Jayce Tingler is the new manager for the San Diego Padres. The 73rd in team history. That’s not a real stat, but who gives a shit? As I tweeted out earlier today, we all knew this was coming. You knew as soon as you heard the name “Jayce Tingler” that he was […]

The season ended! Nick went down to Petco for the Don Welke game to get some post season reactions from some Padres Twitter elites. They talked about how the season ended, Ron Fowler’s blowup, and who should be the next manager of the team! Oh yeah, and some prospects. Thanks for listening all season. The […]
Most of us wanted Andy Green fired. That’s just the truth, and it’s fine. It honestly makes no difference. Andy Green was a rookie manager who didn’t have enough experience to lead guys who were pretty much his age into the new era of brown and gold. If we kept him it would have been […]
