San Diego Sports
It seems, as always, the only thing actually standing in Baseball’s way of progressing as a sport are the old cranky stalwarts that make up the “royalty” of MLB Media Elite. And, they are really starting to suck. I get it. The game is changing…just a wee bit. But, just enough for you to be […]
In the season finale of the Padres Canon, San Diego broadcast legend, Ben Higgins brings us our most interesting Canon hopeful yet – the San Diego Chicken! Does The Chicken deserve to be placed in the Canonical history of the San Diego Padres?! It’s up to you! FIRST: Listen to the episode and hear the […]
After a widely disputed episode last week we return with a feel good story turned tragic with Padres HOF Randy Jones! We’re joined by @RJsFro who makes his case for the inclusion of the Hairdo into the Canon! His number may be retired by the team, but will that be enough?? YOU GET THE FINAL […]
Well, I’ll be honest! I’m extremely surprised. I did not think Mike Cameron would make it in, but with more than 10% of the vote he made it in easily! Oh no, and I just got word he’s been suspended from the Canon for PEDs. This week PadresGeekster brings us a mid-2000’s Padres Legend – […]
Alright fine. I’ll bite. I mean, the only reason this fourth tier ESPN talking head mentioned the Padres is because for the first time in a long time lots and lots of people care. He isn’t a known commodity in Bristol, and so in a feeble sad attempt at carving out a niche of being […]
This year is always a special time of year. It’s our annual reminder that the gatekeepers for Baseball’s hallowed Hall are, for the most part, old traditionalists who refuse to adapt. Although we’re not supposed to mention his name, it took Jonah Keri years to convince his colleagues to give Tim Raines, a seemingly unworthy […]
So far this offseason has been a doozy for Padres fans. We lost Sunshine to Tommy John surgery, and await the fate of Dinelson Lamet feeling as if something season-ending is just around the corner. However, we also picked up certified ace and former Cy Young Award-Winner, Blake Snell, signed Korean superstar Ha-seong Kim, and […]
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 […]
“Spring Training” – two words that, for baseball fans, mean that our drought is over. It also signals that two other words will be heard again: #TheYumaYears After becoming a National League franchise in 1969, the Padres initially considered holding spring training in Borrego Springs before settling on Yuma, Arizona, where they trained through 1993. […]
We all have a tipping point. Mine was when columnist George Will complained about Alex Bregman and Juan Soto carrying their bats to first base in Game 6 of this year’s World Series, saying it was an “infectious virus” and “a stain on baseball’s unwritten standards.” Eyes rolled, including mine. My only regret in that […]
