Canepa’s column brought back memories! Unfortunately, they were memories of my grandfather’s monologues on how the world has gone to hell, and how pure and simple things were back in the old days. I suspect Canepa’s grandkids were too busy texting to listen, so he wrote it up.

[...] got bored and restless without a game. Some of us rambled on about process, others picked apart articles of questionable merit, while still others pondered the state of the Padres [...]

Nick Canepa doesn’t care what you think because you are still living in your mom’s basement and he’s read by more people that you’ll ever be…so there.

I didn’t know about his article until I read this entry, and it boggles the mind that the UT is paying him to write such drivel.

This was another time I went nuts on Canepa:

He tried to argue that the Padres should NOT have traded Jake Peavy by giving examples of times San Diego teams SHOULD have traded certain players.

To be fair to Canepa you should see what those damn stat geeks did to his lawn.

“You don’t like baseball anymore? Then stop writing about the subject and quit embarrassing yourself with this shit. I’m sure you can still find Dick Williams’ open fly around somewhere. Have at it.”

One of the better ending lines of the year…LOL

Look at Canepa this way. Imagine if you were hiring a lawyer and he let you know that he graduated law school in 1980, passed the bar in 1981 and then stopped reading about any new cases in 1990.

Still wants your money to represent you, just doesn’t feel like doing the work necessary to maintain his standing in his profession.

..and in a nutshell you have the sphere of Nick’s career.

Awesome! Canapa is an idiot. I don’t read his stuff – I didn’t realize he had posted such a crappy article…

This is funny. Nick is just an old man, who is disgruntled that he is old. Baseball is alive and well and relevant. Stats help GM’s make decisions and fantasy teams, doesn’t take away from the experience. Free agency and players union have made it harder for players to stay with teams their whole career, but that doesn’t mean you cannot fall in love with a franchise or that specific year’s team. These 2010 Padres are special.
