The Padres High-A team the Lake Elsinore Storm, just won game one of their 5 game California League championship series after getting through the wild card and division series. They're 2 wins away from their 3rd Cal league championship. Meanwhile in San Antonio the Missions (Padres AA team) are 2-0 in their 5 game Texas League championship series after winning a 20 inning marathon on Wednesday. So while the big club may be sucking it up, at least there's something to be happy about in the Padres organization.
