So, the Seidler’s are looking to sell the Padres, or at least bring on new investors. Well, now this all makes a little more sense. The Stammen hire, the delay in AJ’s contract, and the complete lack of interest from the Seidlers in being a competitive and inspiring leadership group. I mean, if you saw […]
I sit here writing this because the San Diego Padres, the team I have loved since I was eight years old, has once again done a stupid fucking thing. I sit here listening to Bon Iver (pronounced “Bon Iver”), because it’s the only music that seems to echo the feelings I have inside about this […]
News broke this morning that, at least for the moment, the Padres have found this season’s scapegoat for their once again lackluster (read: shitty) playoff performance: Mike Shildt. Yes, the manager. Again. Another manager. The fifth in the last six seasons, or as one might call it “The Manny Era”. Sure, they say Shildt retired, […]
I sat down to write something about this completely ridiculous 2024 Padres season so many times, but could never bring myself to do it due to the very real and utterly foolish feeling that I’d jinx the season. This was even more true with Jackson Merrill. I made a minor league trade for Merrill in […]
I didn’t know Peter Seidler. I met him once years ago at some Padres event when Ron Fowler was still “running” things. I’m also not gonna pretend I know him. Or pretend to know anything about his charitable work with the homeless, his philanthropy, or anything else outside of Baseball. Many people have and will […]
It seems, as always, the only thing actually standing in Baseball’s way of progressing as a sport are the old cranky stalwarts that make up the “royalty” of MLB Media Elite. And, they are really starting to suck. I get it. The game is changing…just a wee bit. But, just enough for you to be […]
I wish I had a more structured approach to what I’m about to write, but like Nick Canepa why would I try for something like that? His column has and always will read exactly like what he despises – a subpar blog that strives for controversy, but in the end is just an irrelevant rant […]

Does The Chicken deserve to be placed in the Canonical history of the San Diego Padres?! It’s up to you! FIRST: Listen to the episode and hear the […]
We welcome back the King of Padres Media – Craig Elsten! He brings with him an extremely controversial third baseman along with him for inclusion into the Padres Canon – Phil Nevin! He hated the owners, hated Petco Park, and hated complete facial hair – but does his career achievements place in the Canon?! You […]
After a widely disputed episode last week we return with a feel good story turned tragic with Padres HOF Randy Jones! We’re joined by @RJsFro who makes his case for the inclusion of the Hairdo into the Canon! His number may be retired by the team, but will that be enough?? YOU GET THE FINAL […]
