Gaslamp Ball will occasionally provide endorsements and judgments in the world of baseball and beyond. Should Gaslamp Ballers need to cast a vote or require an official opinion, look for Gaslamp Ball Proclamations first to see what our official stance is. Thank you.

After watching the Padres' start to the 2008 season, Gaslamp Ball now officially believes that the team will not contend for the National League Championship and will therefore not be in the 2008 World Series. Gaslamp Ball is not saying that participation in the 2008 World Series is an impossibility, but rather that it is wildly improbable, and on par with the probability of monkeys suddenly flying out of our butts.
