You get the general idea of what this thing is going to look like when it’s done, but you won’t know for sure until all the pieces are in place and it’s fully operational.

Cool. If we get any big Pads games this year, we should all meet up (there is also a ‘Steve from Boston’ that posts here regularly). Padres fans on the East Coast are few and far between….
I’m in D.C., from North Carolina. Padres fan since 1983.
53: Kevin – hard to say when I’ve been a Pads fan since (born 1976…moved to VaBeach in 1984… moved to Atlanta 1991), but I can definitely compliment you on staying a Pads fan while in DC. Still, the fact is that you have your own Padres website, which I can’t help but think is awesome. Keep the faith, man! BTW – if from NC (where my wife is from and where I went to college), how did you become a padres fan?
Okay, finally figured out where I went wrong:

Mark Ase Says:

From Alderson this morning, yeah he actually answered one of my emails:
Antonelli is being discussed in CF, due to lack of options but it is a reluctant move on their part.
If the season started today Headley and Hairston would be in a platoon in LF

I had associated that with the realization that “jack from Boston” was Matt’s Dad and clearly I crossed my streams…..
Dr. Egon Spengler: There’s something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don’t cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I’m fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, “bad”?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That’s bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.
Okay, a natural question is: Who is Mark Ase and why is SA answering his emails?
I was a Dodgers fan when I became a baseball fan in 1981. My favorite player was Steve Garvey. When he left, I left. I was nine years old.
Great take on the steroids issue:

57: Gotcha, I still remember the day (in SD) that Garvey was announced as a member of the Padres. Seemed important then, though I was hardly able to understand the magnitude at the time. Keep up the great work on your site.
58: I’ve had my suspicions about Air Bud, Jim Duggan, and Enrico Pallatzo for quite some time………
I lost it when I first saw that video. You catch more jokes every time you see it.
Since people have been complaining about the Padres lack of free agent activity, Steve Garvey is still the biggest splash they have made in that regard.
Where is your wife from in North Carolina?
62: I would agree, save Kevin Brown. My wife is from Charlotte, which is where we’ll be spending the holidays. I went to Davidson College (played Soccer and Baseball) which is right outside of Charlotte.
Kevin Brown was acquired via trade. Not free agency.
I went to N.C. State. Davidson is cool. I love watching Stephen Curry.
65L: Hmmmm, okay, I’ll take your word for it. I really can’t remem ber how the Pads got K Brown.
Yup, big grudge match between the Cats and the Pack in just a few days. Truthfully, Curry is WAY too good to be at Davidson. That being said, I think we can actually take you guys this year.. Am I crazy? Curry’s a stud.
I played baseball against NC State (and lost badly) my Sophomore year. Quizacally, it was the attack of Mothra… seriously, some ridiculously huge moth attacked our pitcher during that game (at NC State). I was at 3rd base and I couldn’t stop laughing.
Oh, and my wife went to UNC…. still, her two best friends went to NC State, so we root for them when we arent’ crossing streams….
66: Derek Lee etc.
68: Yup, I have an awful memory. Okay, Vikes are 8 and 7. I feel WAY better about our loss now than I did then…..
LETS GO BOLTS!
December 15, 1997: Traded by the Florida Marlins to the San Diego Padres for Derrek Lee, Rafael Medina, and Steve Hoff (minors).
Davidson will beat State this year. State had big preseason expectations, but they are playing poorly. They have myriad problems.
Curry was not offered a scholarship at any ACC school, including Virginia Tech, his dad Dell’s school.
By the way, can you get to my site now? I think it’s down, and it’s pissing me off.
52: I’m another east coast Padres fan as of September. Stuck out here in Connecticut with far too many Yankees and Red Sox fans.
73: It’s working for me. Loving the Mitchell spoof, btw.
