My wife's family being from the burg, no they are saying there is no way we keep this up. They're the best, according to them, and their retread (Ludwick) is just lucky. I'm serious. Cocky bunch. Time to knock that out of them.

Thankfully those are probably the only two areas that team might've been better than this team in, aside from scoring runs the first half of the year.

The Padres have petitioned to use GABP as an alternate for their home games when the Reds are on the road. Man, I feel like the Reds escaped with no worse than a split in this series, the Pads were definitely "game on" in this series.

I think playing in GABP is a breath of fresh air to the Padre hitters. I would be willing to bet if they were totally honest they would say they hate playing in Petco. If I were a power hitter I know I would never consider signing with the Padres.
