Sometimes Sports Make No Sense
How in the world are the Padres doing what they are doing?!? I look up and down that roster and I see very little that stands out as impressive – a couple of pitchers and a position player or two. Not only that, but they have no payroll, and they are looking to dump much of what they have. That’s a recipe for disaster. Or at least it should be. Instead, they have won 10 in a row, and they do it by fighting and clawing and showing so many things that they shouldn’t really be able to show. One of the amazing things about sports is the continuous ability to shock and surprise, and this is a perfect example of that. Tonight San Diego scored five runs in the eighth and one more in the ninth to tie the game, and then scored two in the 10th to take the win. Even more incredible, they had lost six in a row and 16 of 19 before this streak. If you tell me that you saw this coming then I’ll call you a liar.
