Sale! Sale! Sale!

So, the Seidler’s are looking to sell the Padres, or at least bring on new investors. Well, now this all makes a little more sense. The Stammen hire, the delay in AJ’s contract, and the complete lack of interest from the Seidlers in being a competitive and inspiring leadership group. I mean, if you saw […]

The Crowd Goes Mild

I sit here writing this because the San Diego Padres, the team I have loved since I was eight years old, has once again done a stupid fucking thing.  I sit here listening to Bon Iver (pronounced “Bon Iver”), because it’s the only music that seems to echo the feelings I have inside about this […]

Another Season, Another Scapegoat

News broke this morning that, at least for the moment, the Padres have found this season’s scapegoat for their once again lackluster (read: shitty) playoff performance: Mike Shildt. Yes, the manager. Again. Another manager. The fifth in the last six seasons, or as one might call it “The Manny Era”. Sure, they say Shildt retired, […]

Merrill Deserved It, Madness is What We All Got

This was even more true with Jackson Merrill. I made a minor league trade for Merrill in […]

Papa Pete

I didn’t know Peter Seidler. I met him once years ago at some Padres event when Ron Fowler was still “running” things. I’m also not gonna pretend I know him.

Padres Canon – Phil Nevin w/Craig Elsten

We welcome back the King of Padres Media – Craig Elsten! He brings with him an extremely controversial third baseman along with him for inclusion into the Padres Canon – Phil Nevin! He hated the owners, hated Petco Park, and hated complete facial hair – but does his career achievements place in the Canon?! You […]
