San Diego Padres

[gonefishin]

Living in San Diego forever and cheering every year for the Padres, I would like opinions on how far they will go in the play offs? It's tough rooting for a team that can't get over the hump.

I'm also a life long Cardinals fan so I am torn.

The Pudres will all be back home late Sat nite waiting for the start of spring training. End of season, end of story.

Interesting take, but sorry it didn't work out like that. The game really wasn't interesting after the first inning.

they looked good and their stars produced

Can they keep it up they have a tough test ahead of them in LA

[pclpads]

Too bad they can't throw Musgrove in all the LA games. He's their best pitcher / best chance since Peavy.

Hi Dave, I agree with your Peavy comparison. I have to admit, though, that Darvish has surprised me this year. I thought he was washed up. But, he has stepped up too.

Now, if only the Padres can get 3 great consecutive starts out of Snell in the post season, and they might win it all!

Padres!!!!!!

A totally gutless comment, given the comfort and advantage of hindsight, after the games have been played. I presume you sent it with your head and keyboard underwater from the flooding in FL.?

[gonefishin]

Viewership? I don't care if its only Padre and Philly fans left! That would actually be kind of nice and we won't have to listen to all the Bull Shit about how yadda, yadda, yadda.

Let's all take a lesson from Al Davis - "Just Win Baby!"

Easy there.

All this is supposed to be fun or in fun.

i would think if someone says something like 'going to stay home' or elaborates more than just 'i think this team will win' its open season...afterall if the prediction was right later on im sure we would be hearing more of a storied post saying more than just 'i was right'

I picked them to win the World Series in the MLB bracket challenge. Worse I can do is lose.

Live in SD too...but Detroit fan here...sorry...

Any way...baseball is like hockey to me...anything can happen in a short series. Padres have a solid core of SP...as do others...Astros..Dodgers...Mets...etc., I think there are other teams that will outlast them...and they don't match up well with LA...but if they can avoid them they have a chance. They really just need to beat Max or Jacob 1 more tim to move on.

well would be funny if they win the world series without Tatis as the braves won it without acuna who at least contributed in the regular season as opposed to tatis

all that money paid to one player and to win without him is pretty funny and i cant imagine that happening in the NBA etc..

and yeah they did make some trades but that was when they had thought tatis would be back.. ...the braves made trades last year knowing acuna was out

[gonefishin]

I agree with everything said. I wonder if Fernando was watching the game and came to the realization of how big of a mistake he made? I was on the Tatis band wagon until such time as "Ring Worm" excuse came along. His legacy, if there will ever be one, will be forever tarnished like so many others. Unfortunate reality.

With that said, Machado and Musgrove are the heart of this team.

The Padres should send a "thank you card" to Dodger manager Dave Roberts.
For as he went thru his staff he finally found a "chucker" that was nervous and didn't have his best stuff. Walking the lead-off man to open the 7th inning was
crucial and the rest is history.

[clydepepper]

Not that it will deter me or, I'm guessing, any Net54 members, but, if the Yankees don't win tonight, this will be the worst rated Series ever viewership wise.

...and Aaron Boone may be out.
...and Aaron Hicks...
...and Aaron Judge...

...and it wasn't a good week for Aaron Rodgers either.

but, I think Aaron Donald will do okay.

But they have Big Bad Darth Bader... 3 Homers and 5 RBI in 4 games this series.

[gonefishin]

I just want to say that I went to my first Padre game in 1970. I was in Marine boot camp in San Diego and our entire platoon and series (4 platoons) went to the Padre game. We, of course, were required to cheer for the Padres. I've been cheering ever since. I've cheered through all the era's, ups and downs, watched Hoffman trot from the bullpen to "Hell's Bells", stood up amazed every time Tony Gwynn came up to bat and singled to right field with ease, up until now when Musgrove pitched the no hitter.

So, I really don't care if anyone that's not a Padre or Philly fan watches the game.

Go Padres!

You are not kidding. He is a complete idiot who has done less with more than anyone in recent memory.

I am happy for long suffering Padres fans (including a close friend of mine) but they have several "look at me" players that I cannot pull for. Soto is the worst. I was so hoping my Dodgers didn't get him but then hated that the Padres did.

If the series is them against the Astro cheats then it will be the first time in decades I have not watched.

Hey Chris, you can jump on board with the Padres until the season is over, one way or the other. That's what's nice about us Padre fans - we are all inclusive and welcome all - short time or for the long haul - the Padres are for everyone. We have a band wagon that people get on and get off - it doesn't matter to us.

The Phillies are a good team. Now the series is even - it should be interesting in the days ahead.

[philliesfan]

Being from Philly, i want the Phillies to win the World Series.
However, if the Padres win, I would be cheering for them to win the World Series.
I hate the New York Yuckees and the Houston Cheats.
Go Phils!!!!
Go Padres!

Same here Robert. If the Padres lose to the Phillies, I'm cheering for the Phillies all the way! Who invented the term "Small Market" any way - screw them.

I've liked the Phillies since the Robin Roberts and Richie Ashburn days. I don't know why there are so many haters out there.
