It's over.  It's over.  It's over.  It's over.

Sullivan on the return of Giles.  Sullivan also shows us that it appears that Bud is not really on board.

Odds and ends:  Heat still wants to stay and Hensley might be exiled to the Reds.

Luigi is retiring.

I hope the bloodletting starts early today, but I think Axion was right when he said that Sandy will probably wait a day or two, just to mess with us.

And so we finish a truly meaningless season in Padres history.  Goodbye, Padres.   I hope to never see a roster that looks like this ever again.  Except I know that I probably will next season.

I'm not sure what will happen with SLPiH next year.  With the advent of the 2.0, I'm not sure it's necessary any longer.  I'll think about it during the off-season.  Or maybe Sandy will fire me today and the choice won't be mine.  Regardless, I want to say I'm looking forward to Spring Training, but I haven't washed the taste of this season out of my mouth yet...

And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real...
