Playoffs??!!??!!

Its been a weird seaon huh?  Like two seasons packed in one.  An awesome start, a hoorible two month stretch, Phil, injuries, are we finally back?  I was thinking about what the Padres players will do upon the last out of the game they clinch the NL West crown.  It would seem weird for them to go bonkers if they're like six or seven games above .500 in a division where every other team is well below the even mark.  I mean, they were really bad there for a while huh?  Hopefully we're back and rolling, I personally think so.  

Poll
Given what this strange Padres season has been like and upon winning this years NL West crown, do the Padres:
Shake hands, pat a few guys on the back, go home (i.e. Playoffs?!!!!? - Jim Mora style)
2 votes
Rush the field, jump on each other, and celebrate with cheap champagne in the locker room? (i.e. We've gotta a real chance of winning in the playoffs!)
7 votes
Sorta run, sorta fake jog out to the middle of the field and shake a few hands, give a few hugs while one or two guys go crazy for attention? (i.e. we had one heck of a start, but man we were really crappy for a while, who knows?).

Winning the West has never been in doubt...
with the exception of April and the playoffs are a total crapshoot, so why not be excited?

They should jump up and down
like the team they are, a bunch of fun loving guys, pranksters, tight nit, and just celebrate the hell out that last out for "surviving" a very difficult season in terms of injuries, slumps, trades, etc.

it can happen
they beat a good mets team with a stacked all star lineup. Look at the competition, and you realize there's none in the west. Pads, start whooping it up more, realize you're in it
