Darren Smith and John Gennaro attempt to recap the sports weekend in San Diego but end up getting distracted by the potential changes that could be coming this offseason for the Padres. They also talk, at length, about their levels of optimism and/or pessimism heading into tomorrow's Wild Card Series in Chicago against the Cubs. (This is not the series preview podcast, that will be out tomorrow morning.)
They used the last few minutes of the podcast to explore what has happened to San Diego FC's offense and how it might be related to Hirving "Chucky" Lozano's reputation with the MLS referees. At the very very end, John gives his report on SDSU's win at Northern Illinois and what it means for the rest of this Aztecs football season.
