@MiserableSDFan I got along great with Jerry, I was sad that he passed on but am grateful that I got to spend time with him in the press box.

[David Alton Dodd @DavidAltonDodd]

@TedLeitner I felt so fortunate to meet Mr. Coleman back when I covered the Padres for a few years, and I loved being able to chat with him in the press box during games at Petco. It was also nice to meet you as well, Mr. Leitner.

@ginovalentino I was lucky to have been able to cover the Padres as a journalist for a few years, I love Petco Park. Prior to my writing career I was an engineer and guess what I had a hand in doing? Yep, building up that place.

[David Alton Dodd @DavidAltonDodd]

@ArtyCurry Yep, especially on Cerro Colorado, but the folks that own the stations down there wish to do there own thing. Understandable.

First it was the Mighty 690, then it was the 1090, now it's all over with. Yeah, it sucks. What I would love to see is some sort of investment into a tower on a mountain East of Alpine. Radio station 890 sports. Or something.

[David Alton Dodd @DavidAltonDodd]

@madfriarskevin It isn't about 'necessity', it's more about getting to listen to the awesome talent flushed out of the bygone stations.

[David Alton Dodd @DavidAltonDodd]

Um, that's AM, not PM. Just trying to be helpful.

@MaseInUrFace @MiserableSDFan I'm so effing old now. When I first lived there back in 1992, that place didn't exist.

Yes, I know, sad game for Aztecs basketball, but all things considered it was great that they made it into the Sweet Sixteen this season. We'll see what next season brings forward.

[David Alton Dodd @DavidAltonDodd]

Unbelievable. Cronenberg's glove was cursed. "Croneglove disease" will now become a new explanation for that occurrence.

[David Alton Dodd @DavidAltonDodd]

One would think that SDSU would be selected to play in the NCAA basketball tournament, but who knows. We'll find out this afternoon. Weird season for the Aztecs.

[David Alton Dodd @DavidAltonDodd]

Mars is closer, but okay then.

John Mozeliak will meet with media in Jupiter in roughly 20 minutes to address Sonny Gray’s hamstring injury. #STLCards

[David Alton Dodd @DavidAltonDodd]

Los Angeles Rams because of Roman Gabriel.

[altheboss @AlTheBoss03]

Team you became a fan of because of one player?

Cut Sanchez some slack, he's just up there for a few beers.

[Jon Heyman @JonHeyman]

Gary Sanchez to Brewers

[David Alton Dodd @DavidAltonDodd]

Ben Higgins' job is to be 'storming the court'. Welcome to sports media, amigo. Thunderbolts and lightning.

[Ben Higgins @BenHigginsSD]

See, you can beat a top 20 team at home without storming the court. Been there, done that.

Welp. Apparently, the Wizard of Oz could not fix the cowardly Lions.

Welp. Quoth the Ravens, nevermore.
