Former Sports & Managing Editor for the Gonzales Inquirer, now just a fan of Gonzales County sports. | All tweets are my own.

Last Thursday was officially my last day at the Gonzales Inquirer. I don't think it'll hit me quite yet until school/sports starts back up. Instead of penning an 800-word column on my experience, I'll just say, thanks for your support.

Begging my former paper to hire a publisher/editor…

Also, if you have to use AI to write your weekly “feel good” column, you’re doing something wrong.

It’s been over 170 days since my former employer hired a publisher.

The Gonzales Inquirer hasn’t had a publisher since Oct 1 and that kinda bums me out.

Oh we getting Cuero vs Gonzales? 👀

[José Torres @JoseTorresTX]

I hope the next publisher/editor of the Gonzales Inquirer does a better job with the paper. I’ve been gone for like 5 years now and still get messages of “things where better when y’all were there.” And I didn’t even do anything over the top. Just do the work.

[José Torres @JoseTorresTX]

Hope one day ownership gives a shit about the Gonzales Inquirer again.

Feels like this could have been a text or email.

No surprise that I’m seeing a lot of retweets and kind words toward Mike. All well deserved. I learned a lot by just watching Mike anytime we were at the same game during my stint at the smaller Gonzales Inquirer.
Big loss for local journalism. Sad times we’re in.

Was told former Gonzales Apaches head coach AJ Irwin passed away this morning. We lost a good one. RIP.

[José Torres @JoseTorresTX]

@MichaelWaldie1 Always super grateful that you allowed me some time out of your week for those chats. Blessing to you and your family too

[José Torres @JoseTorresTX]

So for those keeping track of Gonzales ISD, there’s an opening for superintendent and now head football coach/athletic director. 2025-26 a season of change.

Curious timing. Also surprised there’s been no comment from Gonzales ISD.

[José Torres @JoseTorresTX]

Not surprised anymore

having flashbacks to 2016 when i was told by a former Gonzales mayor that I'd be happier if I "moved back to Cuba"

@TFirme And the home team is bold. It’s the little things!
