Kemp Begat Us

I know this isn’t really the time to bring it up. No one wants to feel sad or get angry when we’re all currently residents of Slam Diego, but I think it matters.  It’s important to know that sometimes it all works out, especially when this was not exactly the intention, but possibly, kind of, […]

The Collusion Conspiracy AKA The Rebuild

Let me be the first to say that I am in no way a scholar on the issue nor do I have a full understanding of the perils and triumphs of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the MLBPA and the Owners. I wish that I did. I wish that it all made sense as I […]

The Padres Suck?

Listen. Can you hear that? It’s the sound of hundreds, if not thousands of Padres fans telling each other just how much the Friars suck this year. “They’re terrible!” “They can’t play defense!” “They’re a bunch of old has-beens!” “They’re all young nobodies!” “I can’t stand to watch this team strand another baserunner!” These frustrated […]

Dear Padres, Don’t Do A Thing!

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 […]

Starting With James

On opening day, the Padres will play the Dodgers in LA. Matt Kemp will step to the plate wearing a San Diego uniform and the crowd will -in all likelihood – give him a standing ovation. Then, in the bottom of the first, James Shields will throw his first pitch as a Padre to Derek […]
