San Diego Sports
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 […]
Tampa Bay Vs. New York The Yankees and Giancarlo Stanton start off with a huge win in game one. To celebrate the next day in San Diego the team goes to the beach and they bury Clint Frazier in the sand. Not really knowing what sand is Frazier dies trying to climb out. Aaron Judge […]

Right now nothing necessarily seems ‘okay’. Everything in fact seems very, how the French say, fucked up. The least of all the world’s concerns should be sports and the lack thereof. Yet the one thing we always dubbed our “distraction” from the real world is for the most part invisible, and as a result three […]
We all have a tipping point. Mine was when columnist George Will complained about Alex Bregman and Juan Soto carrying their bats to first base in Game 6 of this year’s World Series, saying it was an “infectious virus” and “a stain on baseball’s unwritten standards.” Eyes rolled, including mine. My only regret in that […]
November 9th, 2019 will be an important day in San Diego Padres history. A very important day. And, it’s important for more than one singular reason, although it was in fact one singular reason that the day will be remembered as important. On that day something happened that rarely happens in professional sports – the […]
Well, I uh…sure! Jayce Tingler is the new manager for the San Diego Padres. The 73rd in team history. That’s not a real stat, but who gives a shit? As I tweeted out earlier today, we all knew this was coming. You knew as soon as you heard the name “Jayce Tingler” that he was […]
You’re exhausting. You’re ridiculous. You’re a joke. Not a funny one. A sad one. A Jay Leno monologue joke. If your fandom relies on the box score of every game played then get out. If you want to stay then stop with the moronic tweets and ignorant posts that the Padres suck, or that it’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
