He was on the Flintstones... a black lightning filled rain cloud followed him everywhere.

Sounds like a future comp. player name in MSL too

So, apparently the Padres have to send Luis Castillo back to Miami for Colin Rae back because Miami is ran by a bunch of fuck ups who don't do physicals before trades (or at least don't do them efficiently?) and it's somehow the Padres' fault Colin Rae got injured on his first start and is out for the year?

Hey, can we get compensation for Paddack going to TJ surgery after a few starts too?

[HollywoodLeo]

Between the bullshit above, Stevie Williams injuring his knee and possibly being out for the year, and Joey Bosa holding out for trivial bullshit this has been a pretty shitty day in sports for me

[dgfred]

Why is Bosa doing that... it isn't like he will be cut/traded anyway?

[HollywoodLeo]

He's also apparently upset that they defer the signing bonus over the life of the contract instead of giving it to him all upfront.

[dgfred]

Stupid *&^%$#

Did you like Toronto, Leo?

I'm just sitting here wondering what's going to happen first: Sane political discussions on the internet, Prov bringing back TSSL, Mach calling up his MLB ready prospects in MSL, or the Padres score a run in 2016.

which one was it by the way?

The Padres scored a run or two first.

Yes, it was awesome.

So now the Red Sox are claiming the Padres hid info on Pomeranz, as if he didn't already have a history of injury that nobody knew about going into the trade.

They're not demanding to redo the trade, however, so they're just needlessly trying to further damage the Padres' reputation for no apparent reason.

I like how Shemp took a potshot at L.A. and San Diego for not being baseball towns. As if he didn't see the thousands of empty seats in Turner Field during their 2013 NLDS.

Erik Johnson got injured 4 starts into his Padres tenure. I demand repercussions from the White Sox and an MLB probe into their negotiations.

And while we're at it, let's look into the shady dealings of Miami (ironically enough) since Chris Paddack is on the shelf for TJ surgery after only a couple starts in the San Diego system.

The ban hammer is coming down on Preller, in before Mofo

May as well clean house now. The cloud of perception is there no matter what else happens. I just hope there isn't any organizational punishment in relation to future draft picks or talent acquired in the deals.
