How about the ball, Padres? Try swinging the stick at the ball!!! A week ago you won your 76th game, a number sometimes not reached in a full baseball season. Fast forward 7 days and that 76 wins is still up there, taunting Pads fans in a “knew they couldn’t pull it off” sort of way.
Ponder this: To Slide (into home) or To Slide (downward spiral); which one is more effective at winning? Split the ball ’til the seams pass the wall! August is over- forget inflated ERA’s and low OPS and other BS. Bring us back the freaking Commissioners Trophy for once. Other low salaried teams have come out of left field to pull it off- you’re up.
