San Diego Sports
The Chargers are leaving. Save for a last minute miracle or some sort of NFL intervention, San Diego’s football team will bolt for the beautiful post-apocalyptic wasteland of Carson, California. This means that San Diego will only have one major league sports team, the Padres. And while other cities also have just one major league […]
This week the guys get dark. They reminise about Junior Seau’s life, career, and what he meant to San Diego. They also talk about brain injuries and how nothing will stop football until someone dies on the field. They chat about the Padres losing streak, and what 2016 might look like. It’s a sad, depressing […]
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 week the guys break down why the Padres doing nothing at the trade deadline was actually doing a lot. They also draft the official Kept Faith Minor League Prospects for 2015, and talk about how classless the Mets are. Of course they also talk about the Chargers and the fact that Malcolm Floyd might […]
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 […]
This week Dallas is on vacation, but Nick and Travis take the keys with special guest Nicholas Burmeister AKA @padreshaiku on Twitter. They have a fun chat about the up coming MLB trade deadline, Dick Enberg, and the #PadresPoetry sub genre on Padres Twitter. Then they get into the Chargers and the stadium issue and […]
At this point the Padres have to ask themselves: what are we doing? What sort of team would we like to be moving forward? Justin Upton answered that question pretty loudly right after the break, when he made it very clear he’d like to stay in San Diego. Sure, it could’ve been just a smart […]
This week the guys talk about Grantland’s article, and their response. They also break out the trade machine, but with almost no names mentioned it’s more of a value machine. Nick and Travis talk to Sean O’Donnell (Yellowcard, Reeve Oliver) about the second half of the season, and we hear a little words of wisdom […]
Yesterday on Grantland.com, Rany Jazayerli outlined how AJ Preller basically destroyed the Padres franchise in a matter of days. He pinpointed the trades that were made this past offseason, and how basically every single one of them hurt the Padres not only this season, but for the unforeseeable future. He’s not wrong. However, he wasn’t […]
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 […]
