The (Already Too Late) 2020 MLB Playoff Predictions – Round One!

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s back. My world-famous predictions based solely on heavily researched facts, betting lines, and deep dives into social media posts that have nothing to do with anything. These are extremely accurate and nothing you can say will disprove that. Tampa Bay Vs. Toronto In this battle of AL East stepchildren it’s […]

/pərˈspektiv/

Last night before I went to bed watching the Oscar-snubbed classic Point Break, I kept hearing an old song called “Goin’ South” by the seminal late-90’s punk band Lagwagon over and over again in my brain. Not so much the song, but the intro clip to the song that’s from some old TV show or […]

The Deadline

What a difference a day makes. Twenty-four little hours. AJ Preller and his staff made some significant changes to the 2020 Padres roster, and let’s just say it feels very good to be right. More on that in a second, but let’s address the moves first. As a fan, and as you can tell if […]

Kemp Begat Us

I know this isn’t really the time to bring it up. No one wants to feel sad or get angry when we’re all currently residents of Slam Diego, but I think it matters.  It’s important to know that sometimes it all works out, especially when this was not exactly the intention, but possibly, kind of, […]

CPK

Unwritten law. Unwritten rules. Secret code. Who gives a shit? This topic has been expertly tweeted about by so many in the last 18 hours – even Johnny Bench of all people. Not that he’s an “old tymey mustache twirler who hates young people”, but having a hall of famer who played in one of […]

Baseballs

Right now nothing necessarily seems ‘okay’. Everything in fact seems very, how the French say, fucked up. The least of all the world’s concerns should be sports and the lack thereof. Yet the one thing we always dubbed our “distraction” from the real world is for the most part invisible, and as a result three […]

An Identity

November 9th, 2019 will be an important day in San Diego Padres history. A very important day. And, it’s important for more than one singular reason, although it was in fact one singular reason that the day will be remembered as important. On that day something happened that rarely happens in professional sports – the […]

The Faith Kept

Keep the Faith. Just keep the faith. Hey! You! Bored? Keep the faith! Well, what do you think we’ve been fucking doing all this time? For as long as I can remember being a Padres fan meant you were asked to believe, blindly, that better days were ahead. That regardless of trades or money spent […]

The Tingler!

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 […]

Double Dribble

I don’t know shit about shit. I read more than I ever thought I would. I stay up to date on politics and news way more than I probably need to, and I surround myself with history books, history podcasts, and documentaries about geopolitical struggles that my daughter for some reason calls “dumb president shows” […]
