you can file this under the “nobody cares but me” category. and make no mistake…i care and you don’t.
at the beginning of the season, the padres were horrible. they had a brand new team…only two position starters returning from 2011. eleven pitchers have gone to the disabled list. their long-time bullpen coach died of pancreatic cancer in june. the average age of the starting lineup is 25. four rookies.
i expected a rough start. it was.
but since the first of june, things have changed. i’m no idiot…the whole season is what counts. but when you’re a padre fan, you learn to look for the little things. but this is more than a little. it’s huge to me. check out the records since june 1:
yankees 36-23
rangers 34-26
angels 33-27
padres 32-28
dodgers 27-33
i’m not saying the friars are in the same class as these teams, but the gap is narrowing. only a 2-game difference with the rangers…and only one game behind the angels. and it’s always a great day when the padres are ahead of the doggers. for anything.
oh yeah. the sale of the padres was completed this week. maybe some multi-year contracts are coming.
maybe the return of the padres will be sooner than i thought.
