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 […]

SEZ UGH: Nick Canepa’s Continued March To Blankness
I wish I had a more structured approach to what I’m about to write, but like Nick Canepa why would I try for something like that? His column has and always will read exactly like what he despises – a subpar blog that strives for controversy, but in the end is just an irrelevant rant […]
The Sheriff-ish
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 […]
You’re Just Now Upset?
There has been so much made of this Acee article that I had no choice to sit down and write my own. I mean, why not? Who cares? Its all noise anyway. Everything that anyone writes on the topic of Padres spending is background noise to a quiet funeral happening in another room. With all […]

I have more inside information into Jean Segura than one man […]

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 […]
HOFfman – It’s In The Name
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 […]
Baseball’s Hall of Fame Voting System Needs a Reboot
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 […]
