I’m not going to get all loud-mouthy with my “fan”-tastic optimism about the Padres season so far, because it usually bites me in the ass and they begin a downward spiral, but…

 

NL West Wins Losses PCT GB STRK
 San Diego Padres 20 12 0.625 W1
 San Francisco Giants 18 13 0.581 1.5 L1
 Los Angeles Dodgers 16 17 0.485 4.5 W3
 Colorado Rockies 15 17 0.469 5 L2
 Arizona D’bags (my bad, D’backs…) 14 20 0.412 7 L5

 

We finally got some good, young blood on this team!  If that doesn’t look good to you, go root for the Orioles or something.

On a personal note, I took a line drive to the wrist with these stupid dimpled “soft” wiffle balls (meaning softballs that perform like wiffle balls, but soft is NOT a literal description) in my game last night and my wrist currently resembles Barney- fat and purple.  I’m not sure why they decided to use these things this season other than to maim and bruise me.  2nd game in 2 weeks I’ve had to come out for an injury!  I did much better 2 nights ago- batted 1.000 including two shots right over the 3rd base bag.  I think I’ll start playing in full body armor though!
