The Padres, however,
don’t seem to always put up division title flags in years where they were supposed to be second to some other team. The Cardinals always seem to regroup and reload within a couple of years, and take the driver’s seat.
I hope they’re still rebuilding. But it ain’t the same as the Padres.

Let's just hope he doesn't have to leg out a grounder
a ball on Sheffield will do just fine.

BS late strike call
Men write many fine and plausible arguments in support of monarchy, but the fact remains that where every man in a state has a vote, brutal laws are impossible.

Bradley
strike three called. He argues and is ejected.

that was a bad call
but he didn’t seem interested in taking his bat off his shoulder once it got to 3-0

uh...
why should he?
So Lee swings at the first pitch and that’s bad, Bradley doesn’t swing at 3-1 and that’s bad?

To be honest
He only should have swung at strike 2. Strike 1 was low and 3 was inside.
