Regardless of what happens,we didn't sell ourselves to the Yanks.The Padres have the 2nd best pitching in the whole MLB,and the best in the National League.The Dodgers have the 9th best in the MLB,and the 4th best in the National League.Only you would seriously wonder why the Padres are winning the division.The failure will be if we don't beat your team for the Wild Card.

Why arent they winning the division by more than 1.5 games if their pitching is so damn teriffic? Its not like the Dodgers are some world beater. 5 games left and teh Dodgers are still in the division race.
And you may think Houston is boring to watch, I feel the same way about San Diego. Horribly boring baseball, and I am a huge fan of the sport. I can watch any game and be happy but San Diego would be towards the bottom of my list.

Well,

1)The Padres are not leading by 1.5 games.They lead by 2 games(thanks to Carpenter giving up a 5-2 lead last night in the 7th.)

2)If you remember,it took a miracle to beat the Padres in the last Dodger/Padre game of the year.So,it probably should be a 3 game lead.

Still wouldnt you think a team with the 2nd best pitching in the MLB would be up by at least 7,8 games over a very weak NL West division? There shouldnt even be a race right now. They should have clinched 2 weeks ago with that kind of throwers in that kind of division.

True.They should have won close to 90 games already.They can get a little chilly with the bats for a while.I think they struggled to score runs in their own park during the middle of the season.I also think they struggled to beat the Giants this year.Your right.They have the potential to do more than they have.By far the best pitchers in the NL West are on the Padres.Sele,Tomko,and Dessens wouldn't make that team.They would get rid of them.At their very best,the Dodgers can beat them.Only when they play their best though.

In the Padre's defense, that park is a very tough place to score a lot of runs. Which is probably why they have a slightly better record on the road than they do in San Diego. I dont like their chances in the playoffs. I consider them the weakest team that will be in the playoffs in both leagues.
