This is unsurprising "bro thinks he's on the team" loser energy from both parties here. It's going to fucking suck seeing FRONT TOWARD ENEMY t-shirts in MLB clubhouses this season, but especially during Military Sundays at Petco Park.

New favorite player just dropped

In San Diego beer news...

Rough start for Musgrove against Team GIGA Sans Extrabold.

While most of you were arguing MLB labor relations and competitive balance (a subject I have a lot of opinions about but am too chicken shit to comment on because I'm afraid of being quoted/reposted) I was on Newspapers dot com, checking for any embarrassing box scores from my HS baseball team.

“Board of Peace” Norm:

Ugh. FUCK. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/c...

Love that he says this as some sort of authority on the matter when his team's attendance figures are easily accessible.

That inning just guaranteed Castellanos a spot on the 26-man roster.

It's only the 3rd inning of the first Spring Training game, but I think we have enough footage to make a supercut of Padres fielders battling the sun and falling on their asses.

Every Padres Spring Training roster update drops three (possibly made-up) names I've never heard before, with the kicker that there's a decent chance they'll beat out a guy who isn't that good but was considered a lock for the 26-man.

Guessed this might happen, and pretty shitty timing as my annual gift/membership renewed 4 days ago. "Manfred ruins everything" remains an evergreen statement.

that wasn't the presidente I wanted Nick Castellanos to take down

Keeping your surgically removed rib in the closet is weird. He should carve it into some sort of pendant and wear it on the mound; to instill fear in opposing hitters.

That feeling when you have one more Korok to find in the region

Oh shit it's the bassist from The Gestapo Kids

She & Himmler

"Lacob, 70, is interested in buying the Padres and is exploring the idea, though he has not yet committed to bidding for the franchise." Dude LOVES being the guy who kinda almost came close (but not really) to purchasing a MLB team. www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...

Friedkin was born in San Diego and - according to his Wiki - flies a "variety of high-performance vintage military aircraft," so I think it's a wrap. Military Sundays are going to be insufferable. www.sportico.com/business/tea...

Home plate was actually called fourth base until 1983 when California Angels outfielder Juan Beniquez realized it kinda looks like a house.

The Padres are left with bad contracts, a Major League roster full of holes, and a system that is ranked dead last. Fortunately, the Padres have AJ Preller, the only person who can get them out of this mess that AJ Preller got them into.

Last repost is a story about a recent lawsuit filed by the firm I work at. Couldn't be prouder of the work we do.

Michigan accuses oil companies of colluding to stifle renewables and EVs to protect their profits, driving up energy prices for consumers. Details here: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/c...

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

I double dog dare one of you

Literally just landed in San Diego to the news Yu retired. My favorite pitcher of this generation.

Fuck Jacob Frey

"Myers, 35..." 1) I feel REAL fuckin' old right now. 2) No idea if this is a good move or not, but Preller is a collector and this is just another example of him looking to complete the set. www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

Combined, the Rockies and Cardinals spent $82m just to get rid of Arenado. That's $2m more than what the Padres are paying for seven years of Jake Cronenworth.

Go out sadder than shit, Aaron Rodgers.

Happy Holidays, You Bastard

A disturbing lack of “is Butterbean OK?” references on the timeline.

I love to leave my life of unimaginable luxury at the apex of my profession to travel to the windowless lair of a video game streamer with a room-temp IQ so I can do the most absolute dogshit banter imaginable with him and his lumpy shithead buddies.

I've been getting an insane amount of junk text messages these days. This might be the stupidest one yet.

“Eight, Bob. So that means that when I fail to get down a bunt, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it."

The last time Steven Souza Jr. was part of a transaction with the Padres, he was moving from Washington to Tampa Bay as part of the Trea Turner deal.

AJ Preller proudly explaining to John Seidler “that’s right we got four hitting coaches” before tossing a peanut in the air and missing his mouth

All the focus on Bill Center for his dogshit HOF vote has given Kevin Acee the confidence to post a bunch of unchallenged, pro-ownership nonsense. We're better than this, Padres fans.

Did some Christmas record shopping which turned into the kids picking out records for themselves. We're a family of contrasts.

Hell yeah, Bill.

Yay, Vista. (John Franklin, go fuck yourself.)

Same vibe

Well, at least Ramón is back.

lmao

Yeah the three-year deal is standard and everybody talks about Stammen's lack of coaching and managerial experience. But he's only been retired/working in the FO for two years. Leapfrogging hanger-ons like Ellis and Craig who've been here since 2019? Must have been doing some *elite* ass kissing.

At least he's gone as he was doing dubious shit since before day one, but what a cowardly exit for this fucko. www.kpbs.org/news/politic...
