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 […]
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 […]
This week the guys chat with Dan Szymborski from FanGraphs on the eve of MLB shutting down in a labor dispute. They talk about the 2020 Padres season, the future of the franchise, and the overall state of baseball analytics. Join the Patreon here! Download the episode here: iTunes – Please rate and review!

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 […]
After a slam dunk, no doubter last week with Khalil Greene, PadresGeekster saw her candidate easily slide into the Padres Canon! BUT THIS WEEK THING’S MIGHT CHANGE! A legend of the game. A legend of sports. But, a member of the Padres Canon? I don’t know! Craig Elsten makes an extremely strong case, but is […]
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 – […]
I can’t believe it, but Will Venable did in fact make it into the Canon, so blame your buddy who bought his Jersey. So far, we’re a perfect 3 for 3 and I can’t imagine this week will change that streak! We are joined this week by the one and only Ben Higgin’s from 97.3 […]
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 […]
When Jerry Coleman was inducted into the Hall of Fame he said something so true that the majority of us in San Diego reacted to with a knowing smile and light nod of agreement: “(Ted Leitner) is the best broadcaster you’ve never heard of!” This was and is true for a number of reasons and […]
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 […]
