The Deadline

What a difference a day makes. Twenty-four little hours. AJ Preller and his staff made some significant changes to the 2020 Padres roster, and let’s just say it feels very good to be right. More on that in a second, but let’s address the moves first. As a fan, and as you can tell if […]

Kemp Begat Us

I know this isn’t really the time to bring it up. No one wants to feel sad or get angry when we’re all currently residents of Slam Diego, but I think it matters.  It’s important to know that sometimes it all works out, especially when this was not exactly the intention, but possibly, kind of, […]

An Identity

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 […]

The Faith Kept

Keep the Faith. Just keep the faith. Hey! You! Bored? Keep the faith! Well, what do you think we’ve been fucking doing all this time? For as long as I can remember being a Padres fan meant you were asked to believe, blindly, that better days were ahead. That regardless of trades or money spent […]

The Tingler!

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 […]

I Want It, Now!

I don’t know who needs to read this. Maybe it’s just for me. Maybe cause it’s been on my mind a lot. Like, a lot. I want an NBA team in San Diego. I want it like I want all the Oreos. Which, is a lot. I want a lot of the Oreos. Correction, as […]

Just What Is Actually Happening Here?

Like most Padres fans I was pretty disappointed in losing Franmil Reyes for seemingly another prospect that might not pan out. We had a legitimate power hitter in Franmil, who couldn’t really field, but was a damn delight to watch. But, just like how jokes don’t sell air conditioners, having a great time in the […]

The Day-to-Day Padres Fan Must Die

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 […]
