1) Dust off the bats

2) Clean up the lineup

3) Sweep the Dodgers

Isn’t it better to win games?  It’s not much, but at least it’s a 2 game lead.  Back to playing like the Padres- good small ball offense and pitching that just reeked of all kinds of filthy, especially from Corey Luebke.  Let’s not look back…

Except to keep our eyes on Colorado!  Those damn Rockies have ascended their way up the NL West, just 4.5 games back.  And I don’t know about you but I’m not comfortable counting them out until they are locked in the basement.  The Pads start a “make it or break it” 4 game series with the Giants tonight at Petco.  Home field advantage or not, the Pads are feeling the heat like a lobster tossed into a pot of boiling water.  Then they head to Colorado next week, where the Rockies win twice as many games as they lose at their own ballpark.  September is going to be a tough month, especially after a 10 game slide like a stripper down a pole.  Don’t lose your shirts this time SD!
