The conspiracy theorist part of me is shouting "false flag! false flag!" in an effort to convince the rational part I mean, look at the actual car Shit, conspiracy theory me is winning!

I just searched multiple internet resources and I could not find a single James Talario I'm disappointed far beyond what I should be

People proudly displaying how ignorant and stupid they are is an astounding result of the last 10 years of US politics

It's kind of fun to see non-Padres people getting all teary eyed over a packed Petco singing All the Small Things while Tom DeLonge (@tomdelonge.bsky.social) is in the house For those not in the know, this happens regularly (though probably not with playoff intensity) It's a fun tradition

You might have a point I'm not sure what the exact count is, but I believe this is at least the third paternity leave in a couple weeks for the (cough, cough) Padres. The other two I can quickly recall are Ty France and Walker Beuhler

I'll be at the game tonight (if I survive that long... I'm not sure my heart is up to the task) One of the things I enjoyed last Wednesday was, with no local TV broadcast, hearing Jesse and Tony in the concourses. I love Don and Mud, of course, but it's also cool to hear Jesse and Tony

He's been solid so far in the post season, and really turned it on the last couple weeks of the season

What he certainly is is a sincere Padres fan. I love seeing him at the Park (his seats are a lot better than mine, though)

He's said something like 'we have way better songs than this, why is this the one that gets sung?' I don't think he loves it But we do!

This is the new Marlins cheat code: throw your starter late on their "bullpen day" It's fucking brilliant! (Not saying it's going to work here, but I bet every team is using it next year)

With Michael King now being the apparent only member of the Super Pen, I think I can say for sure the Padres are cooked

Nothing you can do about that. They're paid to get engagement, and complaining about dad's having kids is sure to get engagement Us normal humans can be much more... well... human

This is not the time to dwell on it, but I think the Marlins have invented a beautiful innovation. Throw your starters late in the game on their "bullpen day" It's fucking brilliant, and I can't wait to see it deployed fully next season It looks like the Padres might use it with King tonight

King warming Marlins have unlocked a cheat code that everyone is quickly copying Or, it's playoff baseball and everyone is available One of those

Someone said how being down 2-0 was something like relieving. Anything good that happens is icing. I agreed at the time Now I am hunched over my computer listening to every word of Jesse and Tony as if the world's destiny depended on it. I hate baseball Except I love baseball

I'm listening to the game. 97.3 the Fan has a mic that is somehow picking up the home plate ump louder than Jesse and Tony's commentary. While it's nice to know whether it's a ball or strike quickly, it's also quite distracting

I really want to send a post about Pat Murphy's immediately iconic quote "Goddamn it Merrill" but I can't figure out how to do it without upsetting the actual (baseball) gods Maybe this is the way?

I am very happy for all of the new dads on the Padres and I'm glad they get at least a couple days off to be with their expanding families But it is a hilarious coincidence that so many of them are having babies RIGHT NOW

Look up Keyes Constant or Crazification Factor I just learned about this the other day (here on Bluesky, in fact) It is not reassuring, but it does explain the ~30% number

Him getting stabbed on Rosecrans in the middle of the night was enough info for me to stop wanting him on our team But @valiendopadres.bsky.social is right. He is entertaining in a can't-take-your-eyes-off-the-trainwreck kind of way

Video would be priceless to see how Mann reacts to a stone-cold gangster approaching him obviously about to gripe If Tommy Pham was walking towards me with an unhappy look on his face, I'd run

Skeet of the week nominee... Because of the cleverness of the troll. Suggesting someone get subjected to a WWF move is not, in fact, advocating for violence. It's advocating for entertainment. But the idiots who were trolled are too stupid to realize this Exquisite
