San Diego Sports
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Currently the padres are one game under .500, averages are plummeting, ERA’s are exploding, and injuries have started to actually take a toll. The great work AJ Preller did in the offseason is starting to look futile, and Padres fans are starting to get restless. A little too restless. It’s in the air, and no […]

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 […]
Dodgers and Padres fans are connected in lots of ways: Southern California, the drought of both water and playoff success, Adrian Gonzalez, and the obligation to confront the recent dominance of the San Francisco Giants. But moreover, in the middle of the last decade both fan bases got screwed by messy divorces involving their owners. […]
