Pretty telling that, despite many having the day off, none of his 8u players showed up to this press conference

When I moved to Arizona during the onset of the pandemic in 2020, I rediscovered poetry while wandering the desert. It came back in short bursts at first until I moved back to San Diego. This is my first book, a toe in the waters as I begin longer projects. Your support is greatly appreciated.

I truly believe that with a better GM this headline could easily be about the Padres. It’s not hard to imagine the Padres having a Luhnow era Astros type of run from 2020-2025, with multiple championships and a deep playoff run every year. The resources needed were available

Watching Casino and seeing Joe Bob Briggs made me nostalgic for simpler times

I was just a part of the most smooth, fluid, efficient zipper merge I’ve seen in all my years of driving and it seriously gave me a little dopamine hit. It was beautiful

A week after choking away the season the fanbase is buzzing about an 18 year old being signed and everyone seems pretty content simply rooting against the dodgers. Ticket sales aren’t dropping. I guess I don’t blame them for extending Preller, there’s nothing for them to lose

I hope people are preparing for the full weight of ICE and DHS to be dropped on Southern California in the winter

Seriously though, how many HRs have we given up in the first inning since the ASB?

The first time I watched No Country For Old Men I had a moment about halfway through where I was like “I can’t believe this is a Coen Brothers movie” and this hit very similarly.

Pumped for this

The funniest thing about all this is they’ve created a news environment where nothing sticks for more than a day or 2, so none of their weird stunts really land with anyone outside of the 60 year old maga facebook demographic.

Back in my day, the FBI put actual effort into covering up their assassinations/false flags

Uh oh I bet it was those darn Antifa’s

Not that I could’ve been any more excited for this but….hell yes

I’m assuming this was a typo and the grant was 1.2 Billion?

This was typed and I was hitting post as that no doubter was launched into orbit

“Randy is at his best when they’re making contact” he says, one start after striking out 9 in the best start of his career

Feel free to tell me that I’m crazy and the internet is melting my brain but every big story this week just is so fucking odd and off. The girl getting randomly stabbed, Trump being confronted in a restaurant, the shooting yesterday, the White House using A.I. to make a statement. Just weird shit

omg

New Article: Home Field Advantage letters2aj.substack.com/p/home-field... -Luis Arraez and lineup optimization -Now it's a sprint -What home field advantage means #ForTheFaithful #Padres

A couple years ago I binged S1 of the wire in one day. Tried watching S2 and couldn’t get past the second episode. Gave it another shot this weekend and I’m fully back onboard.

I keep thinking back to those post 2009 years when it was obvious that Norv and AJ weren’t gonna be able to win us a championship and we just had to keep watching for 3 more years as the team aged and bled away all its talent.

Oh no…O’Hearn an idiot confirmed

Lots of tweets about the Padres new terrible pitcher and none about their new lineup not scoring off the dbacks terrible pitcher

Read some excerpts from “The Fort Bragg Cartel” and it’s fucking terrifying how easy it is to steal weapons from a military base and I can’t even imagine what kind of weaponry right wing militias have stockpiled

The good news is after they fire Preller the Padres will still be run by people who have no idea how to run a baseball organization

San Diego: If you're a fan of standup comedy AND public media, there's a show tonight at the Laugh Factory downtown with 100% of the proceeds going to KPBS! www.laughfactory.com/san-diego/da...

The Padres bench now VS at the lowest point of the rebuild

I haven't asked for anything around here or on the former site, but I am going to ask for this. My kid's beloved choir program is among the programs the school district is cutting. It sucks that fundraising is the only way to save these, but it is what it is. If you can help out, please do.

I haven’t been keeping up much with what’s going on with the Padres and I dunno why they’re wearing this hat today but I just bought one the other day and it was a cool surprise to see them wearing it

Can confirm

6 PAs to guys with a sub-.600 ops today, which makes 1,106 PAs to sub .600 players on the season. This is exactly how the 23’ team missed the playoffs

“doing what he does so often (.239) coming up with the hit”

They tried ramming through that bill that sold off federal lands and it was firmly rejected across the political spectrum. But a couple of years of defunding land management will likely sway a lot of the conservatives

You know they’red panicking if they’re trying to pull Obama back into the national conversation

This picture makes my blood boil

Seriously though, what shifted? This Epstein stuff has been there forever. Conservatives never cared and Liberals never used it against him. I’m leaning towards thinking his own guys want him out of the way? Vance was always a strange pick, he didn’t add any votes to the ticket.

I can’t begin to guess what this guys music would sound like. I know I could look it up but I’m tempted to just leave it at this picture

Did this app even have a Skraby watch party?

Do the 24’ Padres make the playoffs if Profar isn’t juicing? 61 high leverage PAs, 1.600 ops. How many wins is that?

Pretty stoked that the dude who uses a Toby Keith walkup song can’t be traded here

Your team is playing a double header. You can DH one of your older good hitters each game and have a decent glove replace them on defense. Or you can give PAs to a 30 year old career minor leaguer. What do you do?

Bogaerts .700 ops alert

Finally some positive news

If we had Luis Robert we’d be winning right now
