Leach: Padres challenged to pull it together | padres.com: News
The Padres are a good but flawed team, a team that relies on superb run prevention and just enough offense. When one happens without the other, you get what San Diego has seen over the past week and a half. It's not pretty, but it's not shocking.

Not one Padre mentioned the avatar change?

Obviously this had a huge impact on breaking the streak.

OK, who left the infected blankets (chips and salsa) in the locker room?

I think Latos missing the start yesterday was a blessing

If Latos can keep his streak of under 2 ER going tonight and the Padres can win, I think it will be huge for the club to win two in a row and gain a little momentum. Plus, with two wins under our belt, I see no reason why Wed would be any different.

If we sweep the Dodgers going into the Giants series, I think we can do some major damage and put the Giants into misery again with taking the series 3-1.

I know I shouldn’t get ahead of today, but with Latos pitching, I’m feeling pretty good.

I love that movie so very, very much.

My roommate rented it right when it came out and I watched it six times that day and went and bought a copy before he even took that one back.

With all due respect

There is no way in hell Timmay was hitting 95 on the gun.

Agreed

although Pitch F/x had him at 91-93. The Petco radar gun is notorious among other teams’ fans for adding a few extra ticks.
