At the gas station with my mom (I’m wearing a Padres sweatshirt) and this happened:
20yo (probably) boy: *mumbles* “man I’m sick of all these bandwagon Padres fans”
My mom: “What? She was watching the padres lose every day with me before your balls even dropped.”
Me:
Wil Myers purchased a whole section in the newspaper to say goodbye to us (and posted it on his socials). Are you kidding? 😩🤧 I know players come and go but some really do leave a mark on your heart and that’s the beauty of sports.
I’m not cut out for Padres postseason baseball. The cursing, the emotions, the violent thoughts, the literal decades shaved off my life expectancy. Anyway, see y’all at Petco on Friday 😂 LFGSD
Y’all I shit you not. I’m in line for the bathroom and I just met a mother and her new born baby she gave birth to YESTERDAY. She said “we weren’t missing this game”. Y’all we are fake fans compared to this woman.
Just here to remind everyone that we made postseason without Fernando Tatis Jr., Austin Adams, or Drew Pomeranz. All while going through a massive lineup shift after the deadline. It’s been a rollercoaster season and ultimately I’m proud of our boys 👏🔥
Padres fans: We need another bat in the lineup
AJ: Gets another bat in the lineup. Being compared to Tony Gwynn.
Padres fans: No you idiot, not him. DINGERS ONLY.
Y’all are insufferable LOL 🤭
Real conversation in the womens restroom at Petco last night:
My friend (who is a Dodgers fan from LA): “Yo, Cass! They have double ply, toilet paper here”
Me: “okay?”
Her: “Dodgers stadium would never”
Entire bathroom: *erupts in laughter*
Everyone blaming Preller is hilarious to me. Guy absolutely stacked our lineup. He could fire some staff. But aside from that idk what y’all want. Times are tough but in my eyes our GM did his job. It’s everyone else who isn’t.
8 years of Wil Myers. Think about how many highs & lows we’ve been through together with this guy. Not even prepared to talk about parting ways because I hope he’s wearing this jersey in the future too. Anyway, Wil Myers appreciation tweet 🤘 kickstart my heart El Gallo
In all seriousness it’s incredible how much our team is disrespected. Against all odds we showed up & showed out. This app will be a war-zone in the upcoming week. But tonight, we showed that we don’t need the national broadcaster approval. The Padres earned it. Cheers to victory
I think the least the Padres organization could do for us is bring these back into the rotation at least a couple times per year. Throwback Thursdays? Idk, but I’ll suggest it every year.
Woke up and realized I’m going to Petco Park to watch the San Diego Padres play postseason baseball today. Idk, just feels like one of those big life memories I’ll never forget. I’m emotional. LFGSD!
@dodgers_burner
Gunna start carrying around a gun that shoots a baseball 95mph+ and call everyone who reacts a p*ssy after I nail them in the knee cap. You’re first. 😂💀
My issue with the “Why are people still going to games when we suck?” comment is that it 100% aligns with the bandwagon fan narrative. If you don’t want to go to Petco respect thats your choice. But to make others feel guilty about going is insane. Ride or die for the boys always
Positives from this game:
Phillies used their two best relievers and both threw 25+ pitches so probably not available tomorrow
Padres had a lot of opportunities to blow the game open
Bullpen held them scoreless AGAIN
THIS IS OUR SERIES. WE ARE GOOD & BETTER THAN THE PHILLIES
Sadly, my mother Maryann passed away this morning in Hartford, CT. She so loved her winter trips to SD. Forever grateful for everything she did for me. Love you mom!
#RIP
#ToughDay
Imagine still being mad at Fernando Tatis Jr. Idk about y’all but I have this thing called a “life” that really fills up my emotions and time. Color me crazy, but I’ve moved on & I’m ready to see our boy back out on the field doing what he does best.
✨ Let it go ✨
Padres fans. 2016 lineup vs potential 2023 lineup. Can we just take a second to soak this sh *t in? Never in a million years did I think we’d have a lineup like this. I’m emotional.
On Wednesday I hemorrhaged, lost 2 liters of blood, went into shock, rushed to the ER for emergency surgery & blood transfusion. If I wasn’t with the right people at the right time I wouldn’t be here today. All of this to say I’m just happy to be alive and hold my people today 🩶
Blake Snell lowered his MLB-leading ERA to 2.61 by allowing one run in six innings against the Pirates tonight
He has allowed just six runs in 69 innings over his last 12 starts and is now the clear front runner to win his second Cy Young Award
I am begging for padres and dodgers fans to stop arguing with each other behind keyboards. Both of our seasons are over. Plz let’s all go touch some grass. Or touch anything besides a trolling keyboard lol
Padres have been ass and I’m watching a Monday night game where the Petco crowd is so damn loud it’s giving me chills. We suffer together. We celebrate together. And we still show up 🤝
Personally, the passing of Peter Seidler hurts because one, a life lost is always a heavy feeling…and two, truly feels like he’s the only one who ever believed, bet, and dealt big on a San Diego sports team. We will never forget him.
After going to 4 games now gotta say… Pitch clock 100% negatively affects the in person ballpark experience. Just takes away from experiencing the whole game at ease. Everything feels so rushed. God forbid you go get food or use the restroom, you’re missing a full inning.
Wellp, that’s a wrap folks. Love to say I enjoyed the ride but…I didn’t. Time to throw on our Pads comfy gear and tell everyone I pass in the grocery store that 2024 is our year.
That video going around about Yu “owing us” a reason for his absence when it’s been stated it’s a personal reason is super gross. Idk how many times I have to say it but professional athletes don’t “owe us” anything. We are fans. We watch sports. That’s it.
AJ Preller is a dog. Idk, y’all try to make me hate him but he never stops. If we have a problem he makes moves. The outcome is out of his control but he gets them to door every time. I respect tf out of it.
Why can’t I just live my damn life and be happy for my team? Y’all stay worrying about us. I will celebrate a win 7 days a week no matter who we’re playing & no matter what the circumstance. Anyway, go Padres! Lol
I am truly convinced Manny gets screwed over so often because he makes it look easy. Dude does the impossible with ease. Ps: you will never convince me otherwise so save it.
Tyler Glasnow
One of the top rated teams in the mlb
5 run deficit comeback
Walk off win
Not sure you can claim to love baseball and ever be confused why we all up in here shamelessly shouting. FOH 😂💀
Juan Soto is 23 years old. Career BA of .289…Slg .532. Idk, it’s gunna take a hell of a lot more for me to ever doubt him. I mean, A LOT. It’s Juan Soto.
Okay….😂 y’all are funny. This season has been horrid but no one is gunna convince me you’d rather watch 2000-2003/2011-2018 Padres baseball over this. The difference was we had zero expectations. And expectations, my friends, are the thief of happiness.
Every year Padres twitter gets the homophobic bs after the Out at the Park night is posted. Every year I get sad. And then, every year it’s a great turn out & such a fun time with a loving atmosphere. So, I’m just gunna ignore the hate because…twitter. Spread some love today 💛
Tony Gwynn’s top 2 hitting tips:
1. Your stance doesn’t matter, but if you’re not balanced by the time you load, you’re out.
2. Swing the knob, not the barrel
Sorry you didn’t get a ring with us…say what you want about the man but he was with us for 7 season, part of the Friar fam. Gunna miss your crazy hair & unorthodox swing. Thanks for the mems, El Gallo.
Oh you thought the NLCS was gunna be easy? Not how it works. Tip the cap the Wheeler. Guy was carving tonight. I know as Padres fans we like to call game before it even starts but we good y’all. We do better one game behind anyway. LFGSD.
I cried taking this picture. I cry a lot these days. Can’t believe I get to tell my kid about the legend of Tony Gwynn, Mr Padre, the heart and soul of our fandom. It’s like reliving it all over again 💛🤎
One of my favorite parts about baseball is when guys who have struggled on & off (Cronenworth, Grish) clutch up in big moments like that. That’s why they stay in the lineup. I’d bet on them too.
Petco was absolutely electric last night. I’m so freaking proud & pumped for our team & our fans. Y’all showed up and show out last night. I’m emotional just thinking about it. A night I will never forget. Tonight, we finish the job. LFGSD!
At the age of 31 my baseball team has never won a WS. My football team has never won a SB. 31 years of pain. But hey, at least the weather is nice….said literally no one ever except San Diegans.
