Off days are the worst. Especially after a game like last night's, which ranked first on the Padres 2012 Game Rankings. So I was trying to decide how I was going to distract myself from a Padres-baseball-less day/night, and I figured I would see what some of our Padres did to take advantage of their off day.
A lot of Padres spent their day in Camp Pendleton.
Anthony Bass, Yonder Alonso, Andy Parrino, and Kyle Blanks spent their off day suiting up with the marines.

Josh Spence and Blake Tekkote simply enjoyed being able to hang out in America's Finest City. Brad Brach did not appreciate their bragging.
Is there a better place than San Diego, California to spend an offday?

That's all I could get from my Twitter/Facebook stalking. How are you guys spending your off day/night?
Are you putting all your cheering energy into your Pick 6 team? If so, go hang out in the Pick 6 Thread.
Are you following the games of our minor league affiliates?
- The Tin Caps are currently tied at 1 in the 9th.

- The Tucson Padres also play at 7:05 tonight.
(By the way, you can listen to all of the minor league games for free with MiLB Gameday Audio.)
Whatever you're doing, I hope you're keeping yourself busy and having a wonderful time.
Umm... GO FRIARS!! KEEP THE FAITH!!
