This week Nick is still missing, so Dallas and Travis sit down with Eric from the 5.5 Podcast, and Redman to TKF’s Wu-Tang – Andy Keatts! They discuss what it’s like to be a Football fan watching another city celebrate something we’ll never have, and how Dean Spanos & Co have managed to somehow ruin […]
I used to have this friend I did standup with named Nick Spears. He was a big guy, big beard and he was probably the happiest guy you’d ever meet, and he loved everyone and everything. The only thing he didn’t love was cancer. He actually used to do fundraisers for a group called “F*ck […]
Today is a good day. Despite what the critics think or have to say, today is one of those days you can never take away from Padres fans. It’s a day we don’t get very often and we may never get again. One of our own is in the Hall of Fame. In his sixteen […]
A couple of weeks ago Dan Sileo announced he would be leaving the Mighty 1090. In the following days Sileo would make it sound like he chose to leave 1090, but a spokesman from 1090 informed that his contract simply expired. Whether 1090 or Sileo decided not to renew wasn’t clarified, and neither I nor 1090 seemed […]
Hall of Fame voting is moronic. It’s a flawed system that gives a select group of writers the majority of control over a player’s legacy. Writers who could have at one time had a contentious relationship with a great player, or just didn’t like the “way” those players played the game, or writers who just […]
A couple of days ago it was reported that Adrian Gonzalez would not be joining his beloved Dodgers during the World Series. Dodgers’ fans were left confused, a little concerned, and some hurt. For Padres fans the reaction was less worry and more joyous. It felt like maybe Adrian was a true Padre after all, […]
by Dallas McLaughlin Well, it’s time for a time-honored, time-sensitive, timeless piece of work known as my 2016 Major League Baseball Predictions! I spend countless time researching and reading and more research and more reading of things, and of course tons of insider information (I know the guy who cleans the Phillie Phanatic costume, so […]
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 […]
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 […]
Last season when the Padres traded away Chase Headley to the Yankees for some money, a guy, and Yangervis Solarte, most people we’re upset if not downright pissed. I for one was not. Even if Chase went on to do great things as a Yankee, which is the norm for ex-Padres, I didn’t care. I […]
