stoutfellowHallelujah: the Padres have actually managed to win two games in a row. It only took them two and a half weeks to do it....
Seriously, the season so far has been, um, unsatisfactory. Most of the regulars aren't hitting, and the defense that was one of the team's hallmarks the last two years has just collapsed. (Heck, they committed three errors today. Fortunately, the Phillies did likewise.) Chase Headley's been just about the only bright spot on offense. Nick Hundley had a big day today - triple, homer, sac fly, and four RBI - but his batting average is still almost Mendozan, at .219. Two of the starting pitchers are on the DL, one of them probably for the season, and the bullpen has been unreliable. Again, some bright spots: Luebke continues his impressive pitching from last year, and the rookies - Bass, Cashner, Wieland - are putting in solid performances, albeit without much reward as yet.
It's going to be a long year, but I'm still optimistic. About 2013, that is....
