RT @berniewilsonEC: The baseball gods appear to dislike San Diego.

RT @thehogwatch: San Diego. The most cursed sports city ever. They find new ways to heartbreak us every year.

RT @Alex__Monaco: San Diego continues to be the most slept on City in America Padres support at an all time high as Blink 182 blasts at Petco Park Chargers got the same support but 1 Man put his ego first Now it’s all coming back in real time to SD #SanDiego #Padres

RT @PrellersBurner: But the Chargers thought moving to LA was a good idea 😂

RT @Padres: holy sheets, stadium noise only

RT @973TheFanSD: Say NLDS!

RT @craigstammen: DFA Casey Mize tomorrow and bring up someone who can throw innings the next two days. We don’t want him in October anyway. I’ve never seen a bigger mental midget who can’t handle pitching with any type of pressure.

RT @ArashMarkazi: The get-in price for the Chargers season opener at SoFi Stadium against the Cardinals is just $24 on @TickPick. A tour of SoFi Stadium on an off-day is $57.

RT @ChangeThePadres: Kawhi launched the Aztecs into orbit, made us proud with two finals MVPs, and now completely sank a Los Angeles franchise. Dude is a San Diego boy through and through.

RT @NationPadres: Put us out of our misery already @RaysBaseball

RT @GZuckerman: I went into journalism to have an impact on society, speak truth to power, shine light on wrongdoing. It all culminates in this story...

Animals keep escaping, the penguin pool is bright green with algae and the otters bite. Inside the Louisiana zoo where “something is always going wrong.”

RT @TrungTPhan: Ted Turner is prob most responsibile for wild popularity of “The Shawshank Redemption” (still #1 rated IMDB film). Buys Castle Rock and film rights to Stephen King’s novel. Film flops in 1994 but goes HAM on cable. Director Frank Darabont said, “Turner started airing [it] on TV like every five minutes for years. There was this endless opportunity for people to catch up with it on a Turner network, and so I bless Ted Turner as well. Because he played the heck out of it." Film only made $16m box office in first run but $100s of million in second life as VHS, DVD and licensing. As Bill Simmons would say, one of the ultimate films where no matter which part of the film you stumble on, you’ll want to finish the rest of it. Among most shown films on cable ever (need to fill that airtime). One last amazing detail: Stephen King never cashed the $5,000 check he got for film rights. King framed it and sent it to Darabont with a note: “In case you ever need bail money. Love, Steve." *** More from this 2014 WSJ piece:

-No Cartoon Network (my God) -No countless reruns of Shawshank Redemption because...well...there is no TNT. Think about it likes this...without Ted, Atlanta becomes another Birmingham or (best case scenario) Memphis.
