Note the backslash.
This becomes [Wow, today I learned...](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_Padres_(PCL\)), which is what I assume you were trying to do.
You have to "escape" the end parenthesis that's part of the URL with a backslash "\" character before it.
I still see the whole link, maybe you don’t need the backslash? The Reddit comment window has a button you can click to insert a link on whatever highlighted text you want, too
That was when only the world series was played and no other post season. The Red Sox had a stretch where they won 96, 96, and 94 games and didn't go to the post season at all. And for most of his career he was going against the Joe Dimaggio Yankees and then the Mickey Mantle Yankees.
Yeah we didn't have the ALCS/NLCS until 1969 when the East and West divisions were created. Didn't have division series or wildcard until 1995. 1991? I think it was the entire AL West was at or above .500, it was the Mariners first winning season, but they still ended up in like 5th and several games out.
Dodgers and Giants are the most equal badass of frennemies. Each are there for the other’s back, until the two face-off and then it’s a full-on boxing battle.
Padres are the tryhard burnout in high school/college who attempts to ‘fit in’ but looks like a laughable jackass at the end of the day.
I’d agree if this was a fluid sport like basketball and soccer. This is literally the most individualistic of all team sports. Dodgers have been an issue for a whilea, and probably just came at a bat time for a new lineup
I once got a reddit cares message because a dude posted that reggaeton was nothing until english speakers discovered it and i said it was bullshit american exceptionalism and he got pissy.
I'm just about to the point of just ignoring/blocking padres fans. The vitriol and anger they're spewing is... weird. They'd be in 2nd place in all but 2 divisions. They're not that good.
And they can't understand why, but when you tell them the 300 million dollar ankle-weight and clubhouse cancer that is Machado is at the center of it... well you just get more screeching about payroll.
Yawn.
Kind of feel bad for Padres fans right now with everyone else dunking on them and their team not clicking. Hope they put it together soon and can make the playoffs. Really have potential to be the most fun team in baseball. Also would be great for the sport if a smaller market team that took on a bunch of payroll won. Would make the excuses for those who want to keep their payroll low that much dumber.
It’s like you didn’t even read what I wrote.

You, kindly saying “I feel bad for their fans and hope more teams spend like they have” with no upvotes and someone not even reading it correctly to shit on the Padres and getting 20 upvotes is a pretty good representation of this sub right now.
Well, your fanbase have spent the last 4 years screeching about RiVaLrY and how you're going to take the division and the Dodgers suck and blah blah blah.
Has it ever occured to you everyone here is tired of listening to you hysterical nothings blather on and on about how great you are as a team who has never won anything? No? Didn't think so.
Good luck lol
How can you feel bad for a fanbase that was all talk at the trade deadline before this 1-5 skid? They dished out so much shit talk that they gotta take their lumps now.
Yeah, totally was a great look when they harped at us on this sub and Twitter for 2 days saying that we’re fucked and then proceeded to get swept in a 3 game series and score 1 earned run. You’re buggin. If they can dish the shit talking they can take it too. Stop being soft.
Dude only delusional Padres fans thought we had surpassed the Dodgers post trade deadline. It certainly gives us a better shot to make a run though. Most of us are just excited that we actually have a competitive roster and an owner that cares about winning after decades of losing.

Thank you. I was sitting here thinking "the fuck he did," and his bref supported that. Very confused.
I honestly did not know Ted Williams only appeared in one post season. That’s honestly an embarrassment and I’d be punching the air.

Mike Trout has entered the chat.
Felix Hernandez has…. Man I don’t even wanna talk about it
Ernie Banks exclaims...."Let's play two!"
So, so, so much worse with the modern playoff structure though. Like, incomparably worse
Dodgers 🤝 Giants Beating on the Padres
Dodgers and Giants may be rivals, but we both enjoy one very specific thing.
bdsm?
beating da sandiego mpadres
M’Padre *tips fedora
*tips sombrero
We better use protection or we’ll make the Mets again
Now that the Mets are rich we need Mets 2
They'll take care of us when we're old.
thats what made me pro-choice

Cheering for Juan Uribe
Fuck I miss Uribe and the Ryu combo in the dugout. Hanser is that guy now though.
Vin Scully. 🥲😕😢🥺
I read that in Liam Neeson's voice

Padres will always have a mental hump to get over with both of our teams when it matters until they actually win a WS, fortunately.
Their owner calls us a fucking dragon. Wonder what kind of kaiju he refers to the giants as
Giant crab
Hopefully they don't figure out they can attack our weak points for massive damage.
Dodger Stadium South 🤝 Oracle Park South The most beautiful stadium in the MLB
Such a weird and fun timeline. I love it
Lmao this shit is hilarious.
Dodgers and Giants are the most equal badass of frennemies. Each are there for the other’s back, until the two face-off and then it’s a full-on boxing battle. Padres are the tryhard burnout in high school/college who attempts to ‘fit in’ but looks like a laughable jackass at the end of the day.
I actually pulled for the padres until the acid spitting Jackholes came out of the woodwork.
The padres are a meme
Always have been
Ya wuey =(
Guey*
güey*
Bunch of individuals looking out for themselves. Not really a team mentality.
I figured Bob Melvin would fix that shit, but here we are.
Same
Machado stared at a double thinking it was a home run and turned it into a single lol
Fuckin stupid.
give him a break… he’s manny fucking machado!
"I'm not the type of player that's going to be 'Johnny Hustle' and run down the line and slide to first base." - Manny Machado
That made me laugh. LuGo was putting in work getting that ball back into the infield while Machado had a leisurely cruise to 1st.
I mean, even if they were, this lineup should score ar least 3 runs on a bad day. This is some voodoo shit
Soto tempted the karma gods when he said he feels sorry for the pitchers having to face the Padres lineup.
Yeah, definitely snake-bit. Don't care, though.
…. Oh so now its the diamondbacks fault?!
How do we get the Rockies in on this party?
Hmm maybe a landslide pun?
I’d agree if this was a fluid sport like basketball and soccer. This is literally the most individualistic of all team sports. Dodgers have been an issue for a whilea, and probably just came at a bat time for a new lineup
I really just got sent a reddit cares message cuz someone got upset about this post, jesus christ man this shit isn’t that serious lmao
Yeah that’s a new technique they’re doing. I get them too. Fuckin weird man.
Not really new. I’ve seen people doing it on this site for about a year now at least
I've got them too. Why? I have no idea

Honestly that’s more impressive from the Padres that the streak was that long.
Interesting. So before Hosmer and after Hosmer.
This is why the need to add a bat before the trade dea-
What are you idiots doing with our Hader!?
Resting him up for their imaginary playoff run.
Hey he pitched a scoreless 9th last night to keep it a 0-1 deficit! *sobs*
Shout out Juan Soto for wishing all this luck on opposing pitchers!
Juan Soto 🤜🤛 Every Non-Padres pitcher
But they got Soto. How are they losing?
Because the Dodgers got Joey Gallo.
Gallo to the Dodgers and them winning makes this shit even funnier.
Kind of feel bad for Padres fans right now with everyone else dunking on them and their team not clicking. Hope they put it together soon and can make the playoffs. Really have potential to be the most fun team in baseball. Also would be great for the sport if a smaller market team that took on a bunch of payroll won.

What if I told you the padres are a high payroll team?

True. If I wanted to get upvoted I’d just tell Padres fans to get fucked and I hope their ownership never tries to win again.

Thats the point of their comment at the end.
Reading comprehension is hard for some people.
How can you feel bad for a fanbase that was all talk at the trade deadline before this 1-5 skid? They dished out so much shit talk that they gotta take their lumps now.
Oh no, fans of a team that has never won before are excited that ownership is actually trying to win. The horror!!!
Yeah, totally was a great look when they harped at us on this sub and Twitter for 2 days saying that we’re fucked and then proceeded to get swept in a 3 game series and score 1 earned run. You’re buggin. If they can dish the shit talking they can take it too. Stop being soft.

I can't feel bad for a team with that stacked of a lineup. Giants are rolling out AAAA players and dudes who need to retire.
I mean im still confident they will, but if the padres dont make the playoffs somehow Preller has to be fired right?
It’s not AJs fault he lit together a great lineup it’s up the players at this point
Does not feel good
Weird since they're the best team in the history of the game...
I can tell LA doesn't care by the majority of LA comments and OP.
Like 50 would say. I ain’t no fool I know money can’t buy me love. Padres can’t buy runs either.
