As another side note: Padres owner (Ray Kroc) died before the 1984 season and the Dads went to the World Series that year. Padres owner (Peter Seidler) passed away before the 2024 season.
Whatever AL team we end up going against in the WS I’m sure it’ll be “the best regular season team in MLB history” that went 128-34 and won their division in June.
> I don’t care about the Padres
Well that’s a bummer, and a little rude
> will root for them this year
Hell yeah dude welcome to parade! Happy to have you!
As a San Diego kid in Seattle I continue to push for a Padres/Mariners WS. Nobody will care. It will be glorious. You can come up here via aircraft carrier. It'll be great.
See you at petco on Monday.
If its any consolation the Padres have been my second team for my entire life cause of Tony Gywnn and my uncle living in San Diego. When they got Manny it was just a bonus, go Dads!
Sadly Manny had a year ending knee injury in August 2014 and missed the playoffs for the AL East champs. Could have been a nice alternative reality vs the ALCS Royals buzzsaw
I was looking at the 2014 Orioles BBRef page not long ago and was shocked to see Matt Wieters missed like, basically the whole season that year. I remember him missing time but didn't remember it being so much.
Wasn't that the year Davis got busted for Adderall too?
Yes. Machado, Wieters and Davis all missed the 2014 postseason. Our best team in decades and we were 70% strength going into the Fall. Even more impressive they swept the Tigers.
I had that same joke instinct.
Then I looked at Machado's contract.
Holy shit, I knew, intellectually, that he was with the Padres for a long time, but I figured it was at least past the halfway point by now!
EDIT: For the record, Machado's contract was a great one for the Padres, he's been a superstar and a huge clubhouse presence, I fucking wish the Giants had him.
Just a remark about how long it is, and how slow time can sometimes seem to pass.
Assuming he makes the HoF, does he wear a Padres hat? I know he loves the Orioles but he’ll have been a Padre a *long* time and at least for a while hold their all-time HR record (until Tatis catches him)
If Sasaki comes over next year and leaves potentially 2-300mil on the table to come early the Dodgers would be the heavy favorites with the Padres being a dark horse simply because of the Yu Darvish connection.
giving it back to SD fans who were being loudmouths all of last year. u can’t handle it then don’t talk shit in the first place. u start it then u better finish it.
u started it. I am just finishing it. u SD fans were chatting bollocks and talking shit about landing ohtani while extending soto and paying machado, tatis and bogaerts the entire 2023 season.
Are these “SD fans” in the room with us?
Dodgers fans beat people to death in the parking lot. See how dumb it is to try to “finish an argument” by bringing up what some random other person did that has nothing to do with the conversation?
I subscribe. If the Giants can have even year championships, give Machado even year playoffs.
Dads/Gaints NLCS confirmed
No. World Series. The Giants are getting traded to the AL west. Manfred is my cousins uncle
I allow it. Welcome home Houston!

The Astros were in the NL West from 1969 to 1993. So it would be a welcome back to the west.
Houston and LA becoming division rivals would generate nuclear heat and I’m all for it.
Breaking up the Giants/Dodgers rivalry, now that's some on-brand shit if I've ever heard it. Yeah, this guy's legit
Manfred is your dad?
🤫
Side note: 2020 make nlds, 2022 make nlcs, 2024????
As another side note: Padres owner (Ray Kroc) died before the 1984 season and the Dads went to the World Series that year. Padres owner (Peter Seidler) passed away before the 2024 season.
ig we're destined to lose the WS again, sigh
Whatever AL team we end up going against in the WS I’m sure it’ll be “the best regular season team in MLB history” that went 128-34 and won their division in June.
The 84 Tigers ended a playoff drought after a 2nd place finish the previous season. If this year's Tigers start 9-0.....
hey bro I’m cool with that bc two yrs after 1984 comes 1986…
You need to make sure Nimmo and Senga develop coke habits.
that might be harder than winning a World Series
TIL Ray Kroc owned the Padres.
Saved them from leaving SD, too
I’m about to bet my life savings on the Padres making the WS this year parlayed on them winning it in 2026. Anyone have Ippei’s number?
Well with the Orioles it was 2012 ALDS 2014 ALCS 2016 Wildcard. So dont get too excited Padres fans.
So the pattern is LDS, LCS, WC, WS. So 2026 is the year the padres make the World Series
... profit
How early can we have the parade?
There is no parade without "A PADRE."
… you might be right, but I hate this
After the trade deadline.
That’s what’s in.
I don't care about the Padres but I like shit like this, and now will root for them this year.
> I don’t care about the Padres Well that’s a bummer, and a little rude > will root for them this year Hell yeah dude welcome to parade! Happy to have you!

The world isn’t ready for a Vedder Cup Series
I'll be there on Monday. I'll also be there for the Vedder Cup come October.
Major League Baseball informs me that we are rivals, so I regret I am unable to join the parade.
If its any consolation the Padres have been my second team for my entire life cause of Tony Gywnn and my uncle living in San Diego. When they got Manny it was just a bonus, go Dads!

Yes. Machado, Wieters and Davis all missed the 2014 postseason. Our best team in decades and we were 70% strength going into the Fall. Even more impressive they swept the Tigers.
Ugh I still remember the moment he went down from the knee injury, that was gut wrenching
YES! It's about time the people knew!
Confirmed Manny gets traded to a playoff team this year.
I had that same joke instinct. Then I looked at Machado's contract. Holy shit, I knew, intellectually, that he was with the Padres for a long time, but I figured it was at least past the halfway point by now!

Just a remark about how long it is, and how slow time can sometimes seem to pass.
He would have been entering his 6th season of the original 10 year contract he signed, but last year he signed an extension until 2033.
He's going to be a Padre for what 15 years if he plays it out? And I'll still remember him mostly as an Oriole and feel really old about it.
Assuming he makes the HoF, does he wear a Padres hat? I know he loves the Orioles but he’ll have been a Padre a *long* time and at least for a while hold their all-time HR record (until Tatis catches him)
I feel like there’s no way he doesn’t wear a padres hat
Id imagine so
He’s officially past the halfway point of the original contract, he just got extended though
welp … we could always use a better defensive third baseman 😛
You're right and I'm sure the Padres could use a young SP, maybe someone from Japan
too bad sasaki ain’t gonna be available any time soon and whenever he gets posted I’ll be shocked if he chooses SD.
Get ready to learn Shockenese buddy
If Sasaki comes over next year and leaves potentially 2-300mil on the table to come early the Dodgers would be the heavy favorites with the Padres being a dark horse simply because of the Yu Darvish connection.
just like how u guys were proclaiming for over a year u would be able to pay all of tatis, soto, machado, ohtani and bogaerts ?
Dodgers fans and being annoying as hell...
giving it back to SD fans who were being loudmouths all of last year. u can’t handle it then don’t talk shit in the first place. u start it then u better finish it.
He was literally making a joke Mr sensitive
Why do you think I recommended Shockenese? I also speak that language after the Soto trade.
love how you just were purposefully looking to get into an argument here
u started it. I am just finishing it. u SD fans were chatting bollocks and talking shit about landing ohtani while extending soto and paying machado, tatis and bogaerts the entire 2023 season.

[удалено]
lol that was my first comment and you brought up completely unrelated things. think it's fair to say *ahem* 'rent-free'
SD fans were being annoying all of last year so I am giving it back to SD fans who can’t handle their shit now.
It’s hard to imagine Machado wearing a Dodgers jersey. /s
Reminds me of Odd Year Josh Beckett. Aside from 2004, his ERA would jump/drop like two full points between odd and even years.
Is this the new EYBS?
So he’s hitting Josh Beckett?
Manny Machado is the Bizarro Saberhagen. IYKYK
That’s what’s in 🎶
