On a night where Los Angeles honored a sweet, kind man in Vin Scully. I just want to point out we have one in San Diego who is just as kind. After losing my son Jake,
@Mudcat55
always checks in on my wife & son Josh to make sure we’re okay. Love you Mud, you’re the best! ❤️
I want to thank all of you for the tremendous support. Today was extremely tough and emotional but Jake’s murderer did get the maximum sentence of almost 16 years. I will never forget the love and prayers you provided to my family and me. ❤️
I was hired as the Barons’ Head Baseball Coach in 2019. The bottom picture is Bonita Vista High School’s baseball field in 2018. The top picture is our field today. I’m so happy the kids have a beautiful field to play on.
Padres' fans you don't have to make excuses for being down 3-1. We all know it's Joe Davis' fault, the 1B umpire and the conspiracy by MLB to keep the Padres out of the World Series.
Congratulations to these 8 former Padres for making the 2024 All-Star Game: Seth Lugo, Emmanuel Clase, Juan Soto, Josh Naylor, Trea Turner, Matt Strahm, CJ Abrams, Kirby Yates.
I can’t believe it’s been one year since my last hug from Jake. My heart hurts from the heavy sadness of not having my son in my life. 💔 @ Eastlake, California
We can't thank all of you enough for loving and supporting Jake!The kid who once said "nobody cares or loves me" would have been amazed by the amount of people who came out to hear his story. In the end, he was headed in the right direction. Jake was winning & chasing his dreams!
Wishing a very Happy Birthday to my youngest son Jacob, on what would have been his 22nd birthday. I’m so heartbroken without you Jake. @ San Diego, California
The outpouring love and support for Jake and my family has been overwhelming and greatly appreciated. Our family is suffering and our hearts are so broken it feels like no day will ever…
I blame Dean Spanos for Tiger Woods’ accident. Tiger was on his way to play golf with Justin Herbert when the accident happened. If Dean didn’t move the Chargers out of SD, Tiger wouldn’t be in surgery today.

Today would have been my son Jake’s 23rd Birthday.I feel like I died the day he died.Every day since is filled with sadness.He made this video a few weeks before he passed.I hope his message helps someone. Mental health isn’t a joke via

So this happened Friday.
@padres
Manager Andy Green called me from his office, telling me “I was named San Diego Baseball Coach of the Week” and I was a finalist for “Coach of the Year!”…
An emotional & great night at

as we had Jake Palet’s Cheesesteak sandwich for the first time.Can’t thank
@shawnpwalchef
enough for remembering my boy. Shawn said when Jake ordered it for the last time, he said “this is what my dad would order if he were here.”
#tears
Today would have been Jake’s 21st Birthday. How is my child having a birthday and I’m here and he isn’t? How is Jake supposed to be in heaven and I’m not there with him? How can it be heaven if we’re not together?…
Thank You Family and Friends for all your support. Rita, Josh and I decided to share our story of losing our son / brother, in an attempt to keep other families from suffering the same pain. ❤️
#JakesProjects
Three years after Jacob Palet died from an accidental fentanyl overdose, the man responsible for selling the East County baseball player the drugs, was sentenced in federal court to more than 15 years behind bars.
Today would have been my son Jacob’s 25th birthday. Thank you to everyone who reached out and especially
@shawnpwalchef
and
@CaliComfort
for serving us a meal Jake would have loved.
Since some of you Dodger haters can't wait and I'm all for trash talking. I won't be playing along tonight. I just got back from a double funeral of two family members. We have a 14 and 11 year old boys in my family, who lost their mom and dad. You can come after me tomorrow.
Today was one of the toughest, most emotional days of my life. I can’t thank Eastlake Little League enough for honoring and remembering my son Jake. The the love and support we’ve received…
That’s why Manny Machado should be at SS. Never a bad throw. Urias future is 2B, why put him at SS? France at 3B, Manny at SS and Urias at 2B until Tatis Jr. comes back.
What happened to all the San Diego sports fans who said "there's so much to do in SD, we don't need the NFL." It sure seems like a lot of people are watching the Chargers beat the Ravens.
As we get closer to the Christmas and the end of the year, I miss my boy Jake Palet more everyday. He loved his teammates as much as he loved baseball.

Congratulations to former Padres’ player / coach and the person who couldn’t get an interview to Manage the Padres, Dave Roberts on his World Series ring.
Colin Cowherd just said 151 million people watched the NFL this weekend! What happened to “I’m done with the NFL?” Just like I thought, you couldn’t walk away from the greatest reality TV show. San Diego blew it by not approving a new NFL stadium. Minor league sports city!

This is my all-time favorite picture of my dad Lou, who died three years ago today. This picture of him hugging his grandson Josh makes me cry every time I see it. He was so proud of all three grandchildren. Nobody hugged like my dad.
#unconditonallove
My favorite thing in life is being called DAD! I’m so grateful to be the Father of Josh and Jake. Although I miss Jake everyday and will forever have a broken heart without him, I’m so blessed to have Josh. He’s my…
I’ve always coached baseball instead of taking vacations. After 31 years of marriage this was my first husband / wife vacation.

I wonder how many hypocrites will go up to Los Angeles to support the Aztecs? Maybe they can make it a long weekend and watch the Chargers on Sunday?
#LoyalToTheSoil
#ToughScene
So San Diego! Why were we upset when the tournament got cancelled in 2020? The same thing would have happened last year. The Aztecs need to get out of the MWC and play against quality opponents. Tired of this false sense of accomplishment.
Since Jake died some days are much worse than others. Yesterday was one of those days. Probably because of baseball tryouts for Bonita Vista High School and thinking Jake was here helping me pick our first Barons…
I just want to point out, Mel Kiper got one draft prediction correct. Bryce Young to Carolina, does that even count? One job for 365 days and he got only one right!
My heart is so broken today. This morning we said goodbye to the best dog ever! Sugar loved our family like no other. I believe she’s finally back with Jake and she’s happy to be back with her boy. …
Father’s Day is still my favorite day of the year! I love you
@joshpalet
and Jake. Although I feel broken forever because I only have one son, it’s because I only have one son that I get up everyday. @ Los Angeles,…
As most of you know, I lost my son Jake Palet because he accidently took a pill that was laced with Fentanyl. My life and family's life will never be the same. Thank you to the basketball players at
@SDSU
for helping to raise awareness.
This National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, we remember the brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers our community has lost due to fatal overdoses. Be a good teammate, and let’s save lives!
#BlockFentanyl
#KnowAboutNarcan
Would you be surprised to see the
@Dodgers
acquire Nolan Arenado from the
@Cardinals
? Max Muncy sucks at defense, just let him suck at 2B. The Dodgers would improve the lineup and acquire the best defensive 3B in the history of baseball.
I’m tired of people telling me to move for saying negative things about San Diego sports, so I won’t say the Aztecs losing 27-0 to Ohio was really embarrassing. Just to be clear, not The Ohio State University but just boring Ohio. 27-0.
So sad to hear about the passing of
@dodgers
Manager Tommy Lasorda.Tommy & my son
@joshpalet
shared the same birthdate.This picture was taken on Josh’s 1st birthday & Tommy’s 67th.The next day Tommy invited me to workout with the Dodgers for 3hrs. One of the best days of my life.
I hope through our sadness and tragedy, Jake’s story raises awareness of Fentanyl and the dangers of taking unprescribed medicines. Thank you

How many times is San Diego as a city going to get kicked in the nickels? Cronenworth and Snell lost to injury.Padres get swept by the Dodgers and the guy they thought they had at the trade deadline almost pitched a perfect game. Oh, and the LA Chargers won over Washington.
#SAD
The biggest waste of time sports conversation of the week was, “if the Chargers won the Super Bowl should the parade be held in SD?” SD wouldn’t build a stadium, why would they pay $1 million for a parade of a team that has LA in front of it?
