For those of you that have MLB network tonight at 7 PM they are airing a special on the 1984 Padres, called Triumph and Tragedy.

Wow...the memories just came flooding back.

I agree.

It was great to have been at all the post season games at the Murph that year.

Unfortunately, I was only at one of the post-season games in '84, but it turned out to be the best one--game 5 of the NLCS. Just an amazing sight.

I was at one of them, but I was only 3, so I don't remember which one. Wasn't 5 though.

We sat front row field, for all of them. We had two cub fans sitting right behind us for the NLCS. They started loud arrogant and fresh, then finished quiet and grungy.

It was a truly awesome special. I really miss Tim Flannery. I love that guys passion for baseball. I could have watched 10 more hours of that...

The stories were great. Bochy alligator wrestling Whitson, Goose messing with Garvey etc. Some very funny stuff.

Of course then the story on Wiggins and even Show. I wonder how good of a player Wiggins would have been if it wasn't for the "demons."

My favorite was Williams telling Flann he straight-up <sucked

Once Flan told the story, I remembered it from way back then.

I liked how Goose and Williams can now laugh about Goose not walking Gibson. Great sound on that.

I remember growing up on the Padres and my dad always talking about Wiggins, Gwynn all the players. It was such a special time and significant to my family in many way. I just wish it would have been a bit longer... not because it wasn't a great special because I could take those stories all day, talk about getting choked up lol If you watch that and don't get choked up a little something is wrong with you or your not a true Padres fan. <Dick William's was the man!

i was living up in Los Angeles at the time and was a die hard Dodger fan( sorry)!. but now living in san diego i have been a die hard Padres fan since 1998. but i love the final call vs the cubs by the great jerry coleman " ground ball to nettles to wiggins, oh doctor you can hang a star on that baby". just want to say i witnessed the dodgers win it all in 1981 and 1988, those were fun times, but now as a padre fan and yet to expierence a championship i have had more fun and satisfaction following the padres. the padres have a fan base not as big as the dodgers but the true padre fan base is just amazing and passionate. the padre players and fans seem like family at times. there is a more closeness to the padres then i ever had with the dodgers. thank you padre fans for being the best in baseball, and one day we will sip the champange of a world series championship.
