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!
