You know how I know the NL West is terrible?  The Padres just swept the favorite to win the division.  Much like last year, I look forward to seeing Arizona get run over in the playoffs.

I'll bet Khalil couldn't play first base.  But he may get his cast off this week.

Lake Elsinore will be the A affiliate for a while longer.

I meant to post this earlier in the week and forgot:  a great story about Danny Almonte and a kid he faced in the 2001 LLWS.

Off day today before the Rockies arrive in time.  Good.  This whole sweep business has me a little concerned.  I hope the day off gives the players a chance to regroup and focus on the goal of 100 losses.
