Joe-No! The 1st No-Hitter in Padres History

(4/10/21)

Holy hell, Joe Musgrove threw a no-hitter versus the lowly Texas Rangers yesterday. I still can't believe it. How many times as Padre fans has our heart been stomped on, crushed, and left to bleed out in this exact situation? How many times?? God damn it feels incredible to have this weight lifted off our shoulders. We've seen it all Pads fans. Whether it be having a bunch of nobody's take the field for a decade or being no hit consistently by other teams. Nobody has respected us since Tony Gwynn stopped playing. In comes the El Cajon G.O.A.T. Joe Musgrove, you dog you, the hometown hero via another incredible trade by the greatest mad scientist this games ever seen in A.J. Prellar. If you scripted this No-No as a movie it would be a dog shit movie because this shit doesn't happen in real life. It's the equivalent to  Danny O' Shea taking down his older bro Kevin in "Little Giants". Yeah that's all fine and good in the movie, but in real life a former pro football legend never loses to his unathletic, gas station owning younger brother.  But Joe Musgrove is living the dream baby and has now become a household name in Padres and San Diego history. This new era of being a Padres fan is fucking sweet. Our jerseys are sick, our team is stacked, our city is the best, and we're putting the MLB on notice! It took 8,000+ games for this to happen...... 8,000!! What a historic day in San Diego sports history and we're going to keep it rolling. We're the new kid on the block that the neighbors start to notice is super athletic and is a threat to Johnny's starting spot on the roster. Well guess what Johnny, not only is your starting spot in jeopardy, it's toast.

Bears Empty the Brinks Truck for New HC Ben Johnson

Image
  (photo is owned by Bleacher Report, we do not own the rights) This analysis based on the ESPN article (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43627047/nfl-bears-ben-johnson-coach-contract-caleb-williams) Are things finally changing in Halas Hall? On January 21, 2025, former OC of the Detroit Lions and offensive guru Ben Johnson became the new head coach for the Chicago Bears. If you had taken a poll when the head coaching carousel began, odds are the general belief was that the Bears were #1 not going to pay top market money to get the most sought after coach and #2 mess it up. But after the dust has settled it is clear that GM Ryan Poles, President Kevin Warren, & Chairman George McCaskey, were all in alignment to doing whatever it took to get Johnson to Chicago. This act serves as an anomaly when compared to all of the head coaches hired since Lovie Smith was fired in 2012. It has been a cycle of dysfunction and none more obvious than the most recent HC Matt Eberflus. He was n...

Back to the Basics: Build the Line

Image
  (Image is owned by the Chicago Tribune, we do not own the rights) The main focus that GM Ryan Poles needs to have going into the 2025 NFL Draft and free agency is addressing the offensive line. If last season taught us anything, it’s that shiny objects i.e. Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Keenan Allen, & D’Andre Swift, are not enough to build sustainable success around. The big men in the trenches may not get the shine or glory, but they are what makes the wheel turn. In Caleb Williams rookie season, he was sacked 68 times which ties David Carr for the 3rd most ever in an NFL season. This is not a new concept to the Bears shortcomings as previous QB Justin Fields was sacked 55 times just 2 years ago in only 15 games played. In order for any offense to function efficiently, the quarterback needs time to operate. It's just that simple. With 3 selections in the top 41 of the upcoming NFL Draft, there should be no doubt which position group the Bears will be addressing. S...

The Padres Mess

Image
(photo is owned by 97.3 The Fan, we do not own the rights) If you would've told me on opening day that on 8/2 the Padres would be 53-55, 8.5 games out of 1st, and 5 games out of the last wild card spot, it would not have computed in my optimistic Padres fan brain. But here we are witnessing exactly that. To say this season has been frustrating to watch is an understatement on a colossal level. Whatever can go wrong, has gone wrong basically. Here's a breakdown of what has gone on for far too long:      Danny Vietti ⁦‪@DannyVietti‬⁩ San Diego Padres this season Extra-innings: 0-10 record -WORST IN MLB 1-run games: 6-18 record -WORST IN MLB (-6.62) FanGraphs Clutch Rating -WORST IN MLB .226 BA with RISP -WORST IN NL .217 BA in 7th inning or later -WORST IN MLB (10-16 record vs. current last place teams) pic.twitter.com/W97pV8nYlN   8/1/23, 2:27 AM     Whatever can go wrong, has gone wrong.
