And Now, Your 2007 National League Western Division Champion San Diego Padres! Padres 3, Dodgers 1
Two of our friends from San Diego gave up their season tickets, as one of their fathers is slowly dying from Alzheimers, an expensive, time-consuming, and heart-rending process. It's sad that they're likely going to miss out on the Pads' third straight division title, because it really looks like, with Milton Bradley available even half-time, the Pads are going places this year.
And by extension, the Dodgers are not.
There was a theory on DT today that vetruhn presence was what killed the Dodgers, going 5-for-26, but that discounts Nomar's solo homer, and Jake Peavy being Jake Peavy. It's hard to say that any of the kids would have been better considering the opposition. There was also great consternation at using Matt Kemp as a pinch runner instead of a pinch hitter in the 11th with two out; I'll bite. Poor use of resources there by Grady. And putting in Tomko in a critical situation, well, dumb times two. He's burned the Dodgers too many times of late for him to earn that position. Mopup or bust.
