RIP original 2005 San Diego Padres Jolly Olive video 2021-2024

[RileyJane]

"Opening day got off to a Rocky start" *Ryan Cohen screams in the distance*

[mony]

This era of the Padres were the squad that got me into baseball. As I write this I looked up at my 2005 Padres plaque I got as a gift that year from my grandparents. Still got it up in my man cave.

"Won NL Championship Series (4-3) over I don't want to talk about it." That made me laugh. Great video.

[grsy]

There has existed a curse within San Diego sports since the beginning of time. We are hoping to break it one day.

I know Mark Loretta gave you flashbacks making this video

A candidate for worst World Series winner: 1987 Minnesota Twins, negative run differential, only won 85 games

[phanston]

Not sure if you were counting 1981 or not, but the Royals snuck in with a losing record that year due to having two halves. They were bad the first half but managed to win their division the second half.

This team was my childhood!! I remember crying because the Cardinals took it to Jake Peavy in the NLDS 😅

[ferdinandfoch]

You mentioned the '06 Cardinals, but you really should have brought up the 1987 Twins. They're the only team in MLB history to win the World Series after having a negative run differential during the regular season.

The 2005 padres could really use a guy like Ryan Schimpf

[dizeestl]

The 2006 Cardinals team had injuries all year. They had a very hot April start before they got decimated by injuries. They were 34-19 going into June. They finally got healthy at the end and a few of their pickups like Jeff Weaver are the reason they won it all. If they stayed healthy, they would have easily won 95 games.

I remember that year well. As a life long Padre fan, I mostly just watched the mid 2000's because of Matt Vasgersion and Mark Grant. That was a great comedy duo. Good Times!

[ClockworkEngineer]

12:45 "The modern day Padres are as close as they've ever been to hoisting a World Series trophy." Excuse me? Losing the World Series (84 and 98) is a lot closer to winning it than just having some good players.

This is the team I fell in love with as a kid. Still have fond memories of watching Maddux, Peavy, Chris Young, Wells, Bell, and Hoffman pitching during summer break. I remember at one point it seemed like we had a different set of brothers playing for us every year 😂

[edvaira]

As a fan of the Padres since I moved here in 1991 from New York, where I had been a fan of the New York Mets for my entire life since I was born the day, the Mets won the 1969 World Series… I think I found the ends of the 2007 and 2010 seasons much more painful than this one because no one expected anything from this team and we got nothing basically

[alexjohnson]

The Ryan Klesko walkoff homer at the 5:00 mark was the first Padres game I ever went to with my dad at Petco 🥲🥲🥲

[komickaze]

Jake Peavy was a heck of an athlete, diving for that pop up. He was on my team, the Red Sox, from 2013-2014. I think we traded for him at the deadline, then traded him away in 2014. I remember he couldn't see the catcher's signs because he wouldn't wear glasses or contacts at that point in his career. He did help us win a World Series. But these Padres remind me of the Red Sox this year, 75-75 with inconsistent play all year. But my team probably won't make the playoffs barring a miracle collapse of the Twins, Tigers, and Mariners and a 12 game winning streak for the Sox to end the season.

[TheManWithThePlan]

I may have missed it cause it's been a while since I saw the original vid you did on this team, but I never heard of the Peavy rib or Bochy tequila stories, that's hilarious lmao. I'll always enjoy hearing this season story, keep up the good work!

[joshbailey]

Fun fact. The PA System was left on. Chrish Berman was the series commentator. While the PA system was still on you can hear him swearing at having to commentate on that horrid series.
