This is the second conversation in the important series #PadresCanon by Nicholas Burmeister AKA @padreshaiku and I. Again, we are not trying to decide who should be in the Padres Hall of Fame. This is more of a discussion of who/what represents the most Padresness. It’s a work in progress, like the rest of lives. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
In one year, the 2016 Major League All-Star Game will take place in San Diego. There will be a lot on the line. The city will have an opportunity to display Petco Park on the national stage and the NFL will be watching. The Ron Fowler/Mike Dee/AJ Preller combo has brought the team up to […]
My friend Q and I got back into it. He is still a Dodgers fan living in Texas and I am still a Padres fan trying to deal with the ups and downs of the season while somehow being-what feels like-the only person defending Bud Black. Enjoy. NICHOLAS MCCANN Friday May 22nd 11:34am PST Dear […]
It’s easy to be cynical about San Diego local government. The people involved have made that the obvious choice time and time again. However, on Monday, Mayor Kevin Faulconer and his Stadium Task Force took a real shot at pushing the city forward into the modern NFL. The Citizen’s Stadium Advisory Group (CSAG) Report is […]
Sean O’Donnell and I got back into it. Our last exchange got heated. He is still a Giants fan and I am still a Padres fan. We picked it back up with more heat. Enjoy. NICHOLAS MCCANN May 4th 2:20pm PST Dear Sean, Our last email exchange was fantastic. It really moved the needle. Thanks […]
The Dodgers played the Padres over the weekend. I had a nice little email chat with my friend Q. He is a Dodgers fan who lives in Texas. We have been in a fantasy league together since 2001. We see each other once a year for our draft. He has 3 championships and I have […]
For San Diego sports fans, this April has mostly been about being frustrated with the Chargers during the day and then partying with the Friars at night. Sorry Dean Spanos, I can’t worry about the Shakespearean tragedy that is your plight to force a city to pay for your new shop. While you’re busy trying […]
