I've dug the Padres since '88 when I went to kindergarten and Andrew Kruk (John's nephew) was my classmate. I've been a depressed devotee ever since. My second love is music- a bit of everything; from Social D and Springsteen, Johnny Cash and the Clash, Bouncing Souls and Blitzkid, Descendents and Discipline, 7Seconds and CIV, Weezer and Willie, Tech N9ne and Tiger Army, to Hank Sr. and the Hank the Third and nobody in between the two...
My original incarnation was as The Third Giles. I'd perused GLB without signing up for some time and had just gotten out of the shower and was watching the Padres game wearing nothing more than a hat. My wife came downstairs to get a midnight snack (East Coast time, mind you), took one look at me and asked "Who do you think you are, the third Giles or something?" With that, a legend was born. As we all know, Marcus went the way of the buffalo and then we picked up Aid's bruddah Edgar so I became a brand new TTG...
...but you can just call me Joe
