Dick Gregory: Black people have long legs/short bodies, white people have short legs/long bodies — matching gorilla proportions. He calls out hairy bodies and thin lips as traits falsely pinned on Black people. Powerful truth bomb.

@Petemesa16 @TalkingFriars They come back to win Emergency podcast They lose Bullpen usage chart

@LeftField5150 @TalkingFriars Followed by preller glazing and a fine shammy ball washing.

“Look at where we rank in OPS”

@LFGSD_23 @AlScott1998 Early flukes from Castey - and France and Sheets turning back into pumpkins There’s a reason guys like this were available

@AlScott1998 Cuz they haven’t been good all year it’s not a small sample size anymore

The Padres have the 7th best record in baseball and fans are talking about a fire sale. Have they struggled as of late? Yes, but let’s pump the brakes a bit.

@AlScott1998 Because Stammen rode the bullpen all year That is showing cracks

@JayneAnstead @sdutKevinAcee Nah 2-1

@sdutKevinAcee Made my sure bet in Vegas. Padres will lose all 3 in Philly. A guaranteed wager. 👏👏👏

“Today was a poor day for us.” “Today is extremely frustrating.” Padres wrap May in a malaise, with series loss to Nationals sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/05/31/pad…

@DamienSweeley @sdutKevinAcee If your SP can’t go 6 innings you have zero chance in post season None Zero

@sdutKevinAcee Stammen made those calls to run that doomed us, Stammen made the call to remove King yesterday when he should have been given the chance to work himself out of it. These losses are 100% on Stammen.

@dowen1960 @sdutKevinAcee Really thought Jackson Merrill would be that leader - then the wheels came off

@sdutKevinAcee Padres have no leader in need a real manager. The hell are we even doing with Stam? What a complete joke this ball club has turned into

@Jbethke5 @sdutKevinAcee @sdutSanders Bud Black right there At least won’t embarrass the team

@sdutKevinAcee @sdutSanders It’s time to Fire Stammen, and whoever the bum ass hitting coach is. Padres fans are sick of fucking poverty. GO CALL PUJOLS

@Mark_E_Noonan @sdutKevinAcee Can’t have 3 Dominican star egos in a locker room Take that as you will

@sdutKevinAcee I’ll keep saying it: for whatever reason, this combination of players just doesn’t do well. There’s no fixing it. Get rid of as many as possible at the deadline and in the off season and start all over.

@NationPadres An honest unglazed post from Fanboy Padres Nation

Disgusting loss Not a good baseball team right now

@TooMuchMortons_ Always have to jinx these guy

Salas by far the youngest on the team and yet he’s lapping his teammates in OPS

@Firebreathur @TooMuchMortons_ Has to remove some of his mistakes to make room and he hates to admit his many mistakes

@TooMuchMortons_ AJ always waits too long. We'll be 5 under .500 then it'll finally dawn on him that he should try some guys from the minors lmao

Bring him up

@stephapstein Your integrity will only improve the further from SI you get

Eight days shy of my 15th anniversary at Sports Illustrated, I’ve been informed that I’ve joined the extensive ranks of writers laid off from there. I loved my time at SI, I’m very sad to see it end and I’m eager to do the best work of my career elsewhere. Thank you for reading.

@JB_Rad619 @DevineGospel Bro they said Salas should be in MLB at 17

@DevineGospel 2 months ago most people were saying AJ rushed Salas and some even felt he should start the season back in Ft Wayne. Now people think he’s ready for the majors? I agree that Freddy is broken but we need to be smart with Ethan.

Salas is 1000% an option lol. 20 year old catcher with GG caliber defense and an OPS over .850 in AA. Freddy Fermin legitimately cannot hit the baseball. It’s malpractice to put him out there on a consistent basis.

@Mark_E_Noonan @DevineGospel You do that after being sellers Which is possible Smart in fact

@DevineGospel The bottom line here is that guys called up from the minors can’t possibly be worse: and they’d definitely be more entertaining to watch as they’d at least try hard as it’s a chance at making the big league early.

@thestevenwoods 6am comes early

@WMnatzakanian @JimRussellSD Well yeah - they played well yesterday - that means 5 games of drag ass

@JimRussellSD Fernando and Manny going thru the motions.

That’s a bad series loss for the #Padres…

@Lasordassauce @sdsteeler @JimRussellSD On his laptop from 1998

@sdsteeler @JimRussellSD Can’t read that due to his poor internet connection…figure it out already Pauley

@Mark_E_Noonan @JimRussellSD I can think of 3 players they absolutely must get rid of to have a brighter future

@JimRussellSD I can't put it that way: they're living up to my expectations. They've been a bad team for years and I hope the new owners fire sale the players and find new people.
