Breaking the posting virginity

Thank you all for coming! After a long and much-anticipated wait, here it is. My first blog post. I realize many of you are thinking, "Why should I listen to what Tommy has to say?" or, more importantly, "Who's this f---ing guy?"

Well, you're in luck. In this as-yet-unnamed column, I'll be tackling such hard-hitting issues as "Why Kevin Towers Shouldn't Have a Job" and "From $9 beers to $8.50? Really, Padres? That's your plan to save me money?". Who knows, I may even start petitioning for a local Sam Presti-type to go buy the Grizzlies and move them here from Memphis. The NBA in San Diego. Yes we can!

I look forward to your comments - to hearing why I'm wrong, or why I'm off my rocker, or why I'm the smartest human being that has ever posted on the internet.

Go Pads,
Tommy

Swept Away By the Weekend

What can I say? Padres got swept this weekend. Not happy about it and I'm sure you, the reader/San Diego Sports Fan/Padres Fan, are not happy about it either. On the plus side, the Padres pitching is doing quite well. Two 1-run losses, to the first place Dodgers shows promise for the Padres.

This week we face NL West worst Colorado Rockies for two games and the Arizona D-Backs for another two game series. Then we head to Texas to face off against the Houston Stros. This week will be a great measuring stick to the resilience of this team.

In other news, I am having a phenomenal fantasy season. As you can see from the picture above, I'm a combined 8-0 in my two fantasy leagues. I guess you can say it's tough to argue my baseball knowledge...try me...

Chargers Mini Camp Pics

Here is a link to minicamp pictures of the bolts. The Best one is to see Merriman and LT out there again.

Charger Mini Camp Pictures

8 Innings, 2 Hits, 1 Walk and 8 K's

It's a Walk Off...

What a waste of an awesome line. Jake in all his Jager drinking glory had a waste of a phenomenal start taken away from him by the bullpen. Two nights in a row the Padres fall in terrible fashion. Last night on a past ball, from the outfield and tonight...on a bases loaded walk.

Merriman Goes Down

And this might be why we drafted an OLB with our first draft pick. None of us know how healthy he is and if he is going to be around in 2010. I personally think we (Chargers) would be stupid not to resign/franchise tag him next year! But then again it is all dependent upon his health.

Welcome

This blog is designed for the San Diego sports fan. Everything Padres and Chargers will be discussed here. Your comments and dialogue are welcomed and encouraged!

Till the next post...Go Pads and Bolts!

Larry English Chargers First Round Pick

Larry Hughs is the San Diego Chargers first round Draft Pick of 2009...with only two OLB positions, you have to scratch your head a bit...I guess its not only insurance for Merriman who may or may not be back to full strength and might also light a fire under Lights Out and Phillips. Either way...GO BOLTS!
