Padres Fan Makes Awesome Diving Catch on Home Run Ball (Videos)
With each passing week, that guy who let the home run ball hit his girlfriend in Arizona is looking worse and worse. First he got shown up by the Reds fan who caught the home run ball one-handed while holding his kid. Then he got shown up by the Astros fan who caught the home [...]

Dodgers-Padres Brawl Leaves Pitcher Zack Greinke with a Broken Collarbone (Video)
Last night the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers gave us the first bench-clearing brawl of the 2013 Major League Baseball season, and it wasn’t one of those half-hearted brawls like the one we saw from the Cubs and Nationals last September. This one left a $147,000,000 pitcher with a broken collarbone, and [...]

This Brawl Made Preseason Baseball at the Alamodome Less Boring (Video)
Last weekend, just before the regular 2013 MLB season began, the Texas Rangers and San Diego Padres played a couple of exhibition games in a very interesting location: the Alamodome in San Antonio. If you’re familiar with the Alamodome then you’re probably thinking, “hey, that’s not big enough for a baseball field, is it?” And [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 7/19/12 — Edinson Volquez
With an MLB-low 337 runs scored on the season, the San Diego Padres’ pitching staff knows that every game they go into, they aren’t likely to get a whole lot of run support. That was certainly the case for Padres starter Edinson Volquez last night, as his team could only manage four hits and one [...]

Padres Fan Makes Nice Catch On Foul Ball Despite Cast On Right Hand (Video)
The folks who produce Padres games for Fox Sports San Diego know the home team doesn’t give them a whole lot of stuff to talk about. Not positive stuff, anyway. So they like to send their intrepid field reporter into the stands to interview fans whenever something remotely interesting happens. Last week it was the [...]

Guy Updating Facebook Status At Padres Game Gets Hit In Chest By Foul Ball (Video)
Have you ever looked at the back of your ticket when you went to the baseball game? There’s usually a coupon or something, and then a legal disclaimer that basically says “pay attention, cause if you get hit in the head with a baseball it’s your own damn fault.” Well, one unlucky San Diego Padres [...]

D-Backs Game Halted When Paper Airplane Lands On Home Plate (Video)
The Arizona Diamondbacks surprised a lot of people by winning the N.L. West by 8 games last season with a record of 94-68. But this year? Yeah, things aren’t going so well. The team currently sits 5 1/2 games back of the Giants and 6 game back of the Dodgers, having lost 5 in a [...]

Padres Ball Girl Makes A Great Grab (Video)
The San Diego Padres suck. One quick glance at the bottom of the MLB standings will prove that fact, as their 24-46 record is the worst among all teams in the Majors. Needless to say, they can probably afford to try just about anything to help turn their season around and improve attendance numbers (they [...]

Padres Fan Puking Sums Up The San Diego Pardes’ Season Thus Far (Video)
The San Diego Padres have played just 19 of the 162 games they are scheduled to play during the 2012 MLB regular season. While they may still have time to turn things around, I wouldn’t count on them doing so. In fact, I would go so far as to suggest that after starting the season [...]

Unaware Fan Hit In The Neck By Home Run Ball (Video)
Watching balls fly into the stands at high speeds is all part of the game of baseball. As a result, you will find plenty of signs around every Major League stadium reminding fans to “be aware of objects leaving the field of play.” Coincidentally, one man present at Petco Park for yesterday’s game between the [...]

Nick Hundley Takes A Spill Into The Photo Well (Update w/ Video)
His sacrifice may not have been as great as the one made by soccer player Julian Velazquez. However, when you consider the fact that Nick Hundley is playing for a San Diego Padres team that is 20 games under .500 and only one loss away from being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs in just the [...]

Padres’ Orlando Hudson Stretchered Off After Crashing Into The Wall (Video)
Orlando Hudson is know for his great defensive work on the diamond. During his career he has won four Gold Glove Awards and provided us with plenty of web gems. Yesterday afternoon his stellar defensive work was on display once again as he made a terrific diving catch in foul territory behind first base, but [...]

Cirque du Soliel Performer Throws Out Opening Pitch (Video)
When an opening pitch earns a spot on the nightly highlight package, nine times out of ten it is for all the wrong reasons. But when we are treated to that other one-out-of-ten, it can be quite remarkable. Take last night’s game between the Kansas City Royals and the San Diego Padres at Petco Park, [...]

5 MLB Teams Whose Seasons Are Already Over
Baseball is a game that moves slowly and deliberately throughout the season. I mean, when you have 162 games to play, there really isn’t any other way to move. When you’re in the top spot, it affords you the ability to relax and tweak your style should any serious threats emerge. If you’re in the [...]

How About Showing Some Effort Next Time? (Video)
Here is a look at the laziest, most uninterested fan you will ever see at a ballgame. This effort may be even poorer than the one we saw from the Camden Yards security a few months ago. All he had to do was extend his arm a little more, or maybe even lift his ass [...]
