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...

Breaking: Padres All-Star closer Robert Suarez, who led the NL with 40 saves, has opted out. Had $16M over 2 years to go. Now a free agent.

Jays in 6.

This also showed up on SI. Nine word tweet from former deputy under Tim Mead (think he was in the news lately), Angels communication director until '09 - three years before Pujols got there. Superstar athlete may have ego. Huge scoop. Just announce a hiring. Don't care who; just make this stop.

The manager for the Nationals was drafted in 2015.

Raffi for the anthem and PUP for 7th inning stretch. Go Jays.

Locked in a loan on a condo with my then girlfriend and current wife...less than a week before it was revealed Countrywide collapsed. (Also drunk and high.)

Ah, I see today is Resubscribed To Padres Email Marketing Lists Against My Will Day. 🥳

Should be wearing a Greinke jersey as a show of solidarity between guys who got a 9-figure deal in LA after abandoning the Royals

issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the baseball team the Dodgers. Sometimes, under very specific circumstances, you do “gotta hand it to them"

Oh! Eric Lauer!

Oh. Eric Lauer.

Bummer for my beloved M's. Go Vladito. Go Jays.

At 37, Blake Treinen is getting up there for a ballplayer but he'd still be eligible for the Young Republicans

The Dodgers unlocking a version of Snell who goes 8 innings with no walks in the playoffs is both entirely predictable and infuriating.

I've spent two days thinking about this and have come to the following conclusions: 1) I don't understand it. 2) This will somehow still work out for Posey and the Giants. www.nytimes.com/athletic/669...

Hoping this Mariners game doesn't get any worse. Good vibes at tonight's Minus The Bear show are at stake.

I'm not saying we need to roast every umpire for every borderline call. But I certainly don't need to hear any announcer provide cover for Estabrook as "more of a low-ball, pitcher-friendly ump" when a ball is on the outer third of the plate and middle of the zone.

Unless this article says they braced his ailing UCL with vibranium and replaced his blood with jet fuel, I'm not buying it.

Hell yeah, M's.

Mike Shildt sucks, man.

Either King is not totally healthy or Shildt has no idea how to manage his arms. Both are failures of the front office.

At the very least, please strike out Shaw.
