San Diego Sports
The Chargers are leaving. Save for a last minute miracle or some sort of NFL intervention, San Diego’s football team will bolt for the beautiful post-apocalyptic wasteland of Carson, California. This means that San Diego will only have one major league sports team, the Padres. And while other cities also have just one major league […]
This week the guys get dark. They reminise about Junior Seau’s life, career, and what he meant to San Diego. They also talk about brain injuries and how nothing will stop football until someone dies on the field. They chat about the Padres losing streak, and what 2016 might look like. It’s a sad, depressing […]
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. […]
At this point the Padres have to ask themselves: what are we doing? What sort of team would we like to be moving forward? Justin Upton answered that question pretty loudly right after the break, when he made it very clear he’d like to stay in San Diego. Sure, it could’ve been just a smart […]
Yesterday on Grantland.com, Rany Jazayerli outlined how AJ Preller basically destroyed the Padres franchise in a matter of days. He pinpointed the trades that were made this past offseason, and how basically every single one of them hurt the Padres not only this season, but for the unforeseeable future. He’s not wrong. However, he wasn’t […]
This week Dallas is joined by Brady Phelps from Lobshots.com as they both interview Molly Knight about her new book “The Best Team Money Can Buy: The Dodgers Wild Struggle to Build A Baseball Powerhouse”. They talk about Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig, Adrian Gonzalez, and way too much about Zack Greinke. Molly brings some of […]
My friend Nick Burmeister AKA @padreshaiku and I started talking about the Padres Canon, what that means, and what/who should be included throughout Padres history. We want to continue the conversation over the rest of the season. The criteria (which you will see is still being worked out) is mainly based on merit, service time […]
This week the guys talk about Matt Kemp’s comeback, what Melvin “BJ” Upton can possibly bring to the table, and if trading Justin Upton is in the cards. They also spend some time talking about Pete Rose and if what he did is worse than steroids. Finally they have guest Red Sox correspondent, Liz Malloy, […]
During last weekend’s Pads/Reds series I reached out to my old friend Lance Arthur Smith. Lance is a die-hard Padres fan who, along with me, shares some fan loyalty with the “great” state of Ohio. However, we end up learning a lot of things about each other we didn’t know…and that no one really cares […]
The guys try to figure out if the explosion of runs against the Dodgers is a turning point, or a fluke. Did Bud Black showing emotion help? Will he last? How close could we come to extending Upton? They also talk about Nick’s latest post on keptfaith.com and how we should act if the Chargers […]
