San Diego Sports
Sometimes things can get a little fuzzy after a couple of days of partying with fellow Padres fans in the Gaslamp. The occasional memory refresher can come in handy. Here’s a friendly reminder of what we may have missed while we were drinking.
During last year’s World Series I wrote about Adrian Gonzalez’s bizarre self-exclusion from his team’s festivities. His odd reasoning, the team’s lack of issue towards his decision, and fans from all over either ignoring him all together or being unbelievably upset. I was in the ignore camp as unlike most beloved ex-Padres Adrian’s departure was […]
It’s that time of year when the world falls in love – Baseball season and my annual MLB Predictions! Now, as per usual I have crunched numbers no one has even thought of, I’ve made phone calls to girlfriends, boyfriends, wives, bookies and priests. I have more inside information into Jean Segura than one man […]
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, […]
This week the guys had a special a co-host. Colleen Stevenson teaches 11th Grade at High Tech High Chula Vista and her students have a project to create their own podcasts! We talked about what sports her kids are interested in, the Chargers loss, and her troubling love for the Dodgers. Then we have Dave […]
By Nicholas McCann The first Padres home series of the year against the Los Angeles Dodgers was a disaster. As an entertainment product, it was a horrendous roll out. The only thing that could’ve made it worse is if the Padres had ditched Fox Sports SD and forced fans to stream the games on Tidal. […]
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 […]
Setting- a luxury office overlooking downtown LA. Don Mattingly has just been fired. Dodger Exec: [to Magic Johnson] Mr. Johnson, the Dodgers and Don Mattingly have…parted ways. We have started to look for a replacement. The front office thinks- Magic Johnson: [Interrupts] Pat Riley. Call Pat Riley! DE: Uh…He’s a basketball guy, and anyway he’s […]
The Padres and Dodgers played again last weekend and it was pretty much the end of the Padres season. San Diego does not have a good team this year. The experiment didn’t work. It’s time to look forward. If the Pads can’t beat the Dodgers with their secondary pitching, it’s sadly a lost cause. Our […]
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. […]
