Padres land Soto, Bell in blockbuster: 'It's going to be fun'
SAN DIEGO -- The Padres are going for it. They're all in. After the week they’ve had, it's officially World Series or bust in San Diego. General manager A.J. Preller -- who swung one blockbuster after another in building a contending roster -- completed perhaps his biggest swap yet, hours

Bout time the best city and best park in the league sacked up to put a team together worthy of playing there.

They draw well, fans deserve it, anything that fucks the dodgers ok by me. I knew cards didn’t have the stones for this, they just let themselves be mentioned so they could let the best pitchers go by and say they didn’t go for them cause they were trying to get soto! Lol.
Our fan base and radio ppl so dumb. You should hear these morons all crying today, or how they believed for 2 weeks cards were gonna get them, or even funnier thinking we were WS contenders with him with our limited “front end” pitchers! Lol. I rarely listen to local radio anymore cause they got rid of the only smart person worth listening to few years ago, just tuned in last few days to hear the clown show I knew was going on!! Lol

I said all along I rather have pitching, they could have easily beat either m’s for Castillo and def the yanks for montas deal, they never wanted to deal their coveted lame prospects all along, they like holding them till they worthless or mediocre contributors!!. Now these dummies all saying “it’s ok, they gonna pivot off soto and get Rodon and joc Peterson”!! Lmfao. Like they havnt watched cards never do anything like that ever!! They might add one more bargain basement pitcher like Quintana yesterday!! They dumpster dive and that it!!!

Cool thing w/Petco is you're bar hopping in the Gaslamp and randomly there's a ballpark. It's in the district and comes out of nowhere.

Pads are now trading for potential pinch hitters :rofl:

apparently nats wanting us to throw Carlson in kept us from soto. I’m so pumped to have 4-5 more years of his .700 ops along with the other prospects that will never amount to soto pinky toe instead!! Long as pirates, reds, cubs, and soon brewers are sellers we be just where we like, in playoffs with little to no chance!! Woot woot!! Go cards!!

At least you're only watching with one eye unlike most of us!

It kinda like 1.5 now! When I’m still I can actually see a clear strip over top half my eye, today the 1st day I can actually make things out! when I’m moving it tough cause the gas bubble that still left like bounces and makes my vision all crazy but I can actually tell I’m gonna have my vision bavk soon this thing goes away! Hopefully it keeps vanishing at pace it seems like it has last few days, I might have 2 eyes by weekend!! Now I just gotta get them looking the same freaking direction! Lol

If Carlson alone kept them from soto, that's a massive fail.

Unreal., unless bader foot so bad he never get his speed back I feel like we got hosed. At best it was meaningless, we got a pitcher a team trying to win didn’t want to use in playoffs!! And we gave up best defensive center fielder in baseball to do it!! Yay!! I remember when bader was one the prospects cards refused to trade for impact players cause he was our future!!!
KJ
Bump. Set. Shuma!
I can comfortably say you solidified the 2nd best rotation in the Central.
KJ
Bump. Set. Shuma!
If Reds kept Castillo look out
Side note: want Cards to make a Series soon. Mom watches every game in Iowa, was lucky to take her to g1 Royals v Mets in 2015 but want to take her to a Card's Series game. Have an old score card personalized to her from Lou Brock. She needs to see them in the WS while she can still get around.

I don’t see it happening w way they doing things, I mean we could just have crazy lucky run like that year Sox crushed us in 4, we will be in playoffs every year at least till cubs start trying again but looks to me like we destined to be like 5th best team in nl for the foreseeable future, Braves got all those studs locked down, Mets spend, dodgers crazy spend, now pads. All them apparently more willing than our owner/management cause they will sell 3 mil tix no matter what!!

Bump. Set. Shuma!
Then give our Cards a SB! She's a bigger fan than I am and that says something. Gladly take her to a SB!

No DHop no bueno. Kyler will always live on deep outs and running. At least Hollywood is a million times better than Kirk, he can actually get open.
KJ
Bump. Set. Shuma!
The WR Corp without DHop last year showed the problem. They were never getting open. Kyler in the pocket gets passes batted down. Not new. If Ertz is our best option we're screwed.
