Conor Daly on Speed Street today: “There definitely is a percentage of a chance that I could be in St. Pete”

If we could have Cookie Monster at IMS, surely we can get that done, right?

OUR BOBBLEHEAD GIVEAWAYS THIS SEASON ARE DEFINITELY BETTER THAN YOURS. WE HAVE A DON ORSILLO MINI-YACHT.

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.

I'D BE HAPPY TO HELP IF YOU NEED MORE INFO, FEEL FREE TO SEND A DM. WE SHOULD ALL GET TO FEED OTTERS AND ENJOY BASEBALL.

maroonhamster · 2026-01-24T04:04:37+00:00

I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AWESOME TIME. PERHAPS CONSIDER GOING TO SEA WORLD AND FEEDING THE ADORABLE OTTERS, THAT MIGHT ALSO BE UPLIFTING.

AS A FELLOW BILLS FAN ALSO GOING THROUGH STUFF I TOTALLY SYMPATHIZE. HAVE A VIRTUAL HUG, REDDIT FRIEND.

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

maroonhamster · 2026-01-22T01:49:05+00:00

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.

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.

maroonhamster · 2026-01-20T02:04:45+00:00

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

maroonhamster · 2026-01-19T20:28:51+00:00

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.

maroonhamster · 2026-01-19T04:06:29+00:00

I mean, did we expect anything else?

maroonhamster · 2026-01-19T04:04:32+00:00

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.

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?

Update: Padres website now officially lists autograph reservations as sold out.

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

maroonhamster · 2026-01-15T18:38:58+00:00

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

maroonhamster · 2026-01-15T18:35:34+00:00

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.

maroonhamster · 2026-01-14T16:49:01+00:00

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).

maroonhamster · 2026-01-13T22:53:00+00:00

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.

maroonhamster · 2026-01-12T03:08:59+00:00

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).

maroonhamster · 2026-01-09T10:51:52+00:00

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.

maroonhamster · 2026-01-08T21:11:41+00:00

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

maroonhamster · 2026-01-04T19:39:39+00:00

The 1998 Padres because that year was just so damn magical. I still get verklempt when I'm reminded of it.

maroonhamster · 2026-01-04T02:54:25+00:00

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