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 […]

#PadresTwitter T-Shirt Reveal!

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 […]

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 […]

This past Sunday, I spent most of the day working on a similar story about the Astros, with an overall positive spin on their rebuild efforts and José […]

Nationals #STAYINTHEFIGHT

Like quirky baseball? The 2019 Nationals are crushing it.

Given the Nationals’ convoluted history, it’s refreshing to […]

Don Welke Padres On Deck Classic – TKF Pod #162

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 […]

The Skipper!

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 […]
