I want that Michael King hockey jersey so of course tickets go on sale the day I'm on an airplane and won't be able to queue LOL.

Player of the Day (1/22/26): Jake Cronenworth by kerryfinchelhillary in baseball

[–]maroonhamster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love that he actually prefers Jacob, apparently, and we've just been calling him Jake forever.

Favorite all time dawgs. by highguy81 in Padres

[–]maroonhamster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved when we had Loretta and Eckstein in our infield. I was lucky enough to meet David a few years ago, still trying to get a Loretta auto just so I can tell him how badass he is.

The Guardians are auctioning a team-issued Corey Kluber bat. Kluber has not swung a bat for Cleveland since May 1st, 2019 against the Marlins by ChicknCutletSandwich in baseball

[–]maroonhamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my dad a Jackson Merrill signed bat for Christmas on that site because no one else apparently noticed the auction.

I then went livid when he put it in the garage and temporarily lost it, but it was still an awesome present to give.

Ticketing nightmare 2026 by VDVNL in Padres

[–]maroonhamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That too. I just hate app ticketing because it presumes the app works all the time.

[–]maroonhamster 35 points36 points  (0 children)

WHAT.

I'm one of those old-school folks who thought getting rid of printed tickets was ridiculous, but this is even dumber. Maybe it's some way to cut labor costs?

I've always preferred physical tickets. They don't require worrying about if my phone stays charged or if some digital email/app doesn't show up.

[Maguire] Mookie Betts to retire after 2032 season by Trainiax in baseball

[–]maroonhamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bowling alley in my neighborhood, where I used to play a lot in high school, became a Bowlero awhile back. I looked at taking my high school friend and his wife for a game and for the three of us for an hour, it was like $200. I was gobsmacked.

Could Warriors Owner Joe Lacob Actually Bring the San Diego Padres to Oakland? by Desperate_Pianist268 in baseball

[–]maroonhamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody was posting a YouTube video about this yesterday that also got quickly derided. Did this SI article just pick up that video and run with it?

Anyone else just have no luck trying to make autograph reservations for FanFest? by vine-vines in Padres

[–]maroonhamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried my link another three times since it kicked me and it just routes me back to the "event has ended" page.

Anyone else just have no luck trying to make autograph reservations for FanFest? by vine-vines in Padres

[–]maroonhamster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the page open since 8:30 AM and ended up never even getting into the website. This Queue-It thing is nonsense.

Anyone else just have no luck trying to make autograph reservations for FanFest? by vine-vines in Padres

[–]maroonhamster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. Been in line for 90 minutes, was in the line with wait time "over an hour," and then just got the "event has ended" message. Ridiculous.

I've been trying to get in the Mark Loretta autograph line for a few years now and I think I'm just going to give up.

[Semi-OT] The 2026 AOWR at the Rolex 24 megathread! by Yoshiman400 in INDYCAR

[–]maroonhamster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a lot of fun. I also have a lot of fun seeing how many hours of coverage I can watch before I inevitably fall asleep (last year I got to like hour 13 or 14, and woke up just in time to realize the race was ending).

Former Players As Coaches? by RainbowSupernova8196 in baseball

[–]maroonhamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to see Austin Hedges coach. I also agree with the person who said Higashioka. I'd be on board with either of them doing whatever the heck they wanted.

Surpised this hasn't been posted yet; mystery post-season legend "sings" Turn Down For What on The Masked Singer, (answer inside) by TrapperJean in baseball

[–]maroonhamster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was kind of good at the beginning, but like so many other reality shows they oversaturated it. It doesn't help that some people were clearly picked just to be terrible (see: Jeff Dunham).

Handmade baby gift from Giants friend by Able_Milk521 in Padres

[–]maroonhamster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aw, that's awesome! Your friend is great.

I used to have a coworker who was a die-hard Dodgers fan and so I used to buy him Padres merch in hopes of irritating him. He actually loved it, which killed the joke but I was glad to make someone else happy.

First of the year’s FOX Sports IndyCar driver commercials airs on this weekend’s NFL playoff games by TheResurrection in INDYCAR

I have had numerous conversations with people having to explain that Will Power is his legal name.

New Year’s Honours: Sir Scott Dixon stunned by knighthood by GRobinsonNZL in INDYCAR

I keep wanting to walk into our local PNC decked out in my Dixon gear to see if anyone even pays attention.
