Padres prospect Donavan Tate suspended for drugs

You **** piece of ****. Now what am I gonna do with all those Donvan Tate Bobbleheads and Action figures I made?    God, the Padres can't pick worth **** in the draft.

Reading this mornings Sports Section in SDUT, it appears the Padres FO will be looking to FINALLY change the team uniform. The good news is that it will fall in line with the 1936 Throwback uni's.

Awesome!!! Make it happen!!!  My first choice of course would be the '84 Jersey's.

Nicasio exits on stretcher as Rox fall short

Juan Nicasio gets drilled in the head by a line drive off the bat of Ian Desmond. This of course triggered a flashback to when Chris Young suffered the same fate off an Albert Pujols line drive.

*Shudders*

I hope Juan will be able to shake this off and get back on the playing field and continue with Baseball ASAP.

The Padres season as a whole has been a disaster and sucked big time this year, but today the organization did themselves proud in the way they retired Trevor Hoffman's number (#51). It was awesome from start to finish. About an hour overall. The best part of course was when they brought out former Padre players. Some were expected and some were totally surprising to see: Chris Young and Steve Finley.

But when they trotted out the other 4 Padre players (Tony Gwynn, Dave Winfield, Randy Jones and Steve Garvey in their respective Jersey's) who's numbers were already retired, from center field as they walked toward Trevor, it was hair-raising goodness. Another what the f*uck moment was when they showed former players, coaches and the commisioner on the Jumbo Tron congratulating Trevor on this special day, the best was getting a shout out from Brian Johnson of AC/DC. Waaaaaaaaay cool. Even Trevor was completely shocked at this, as everyone else was in Petco Park.

The organization then gave Trevor a Mint condition 1953 Cadillac convertible. That was dope. But the best part of the entire ceremony was when they played a video of his Father, Ed, singing the National Anthem at a Red Sox/White Sox game on opening day back in 1981 up on the Jumbo Tron. Chills.

Basically that's what I came on this topic for, I ran into Deck there and like a bunch of people anyhow, back to the subject of which I went.....
For the National Anthem.. they used a recording of Trevor's dad singing the national anthem back in 1995... I literally think every man in that stadium cried just a little.... it was so touching...!


Did anyone else go today??
