Here's the current list. I fixed the dates I had missed and added in the Joe Wieland gets no run support #1 game right after the Chase Headley 2HR game and before the Jamie Moyer nightmare.

That game back on the 19th wasn't a bad game except that between Jamie Moyer and Vance Worley, it proves that the Padres can not handle junk. You know what that's a sign of? Young hitters. Young hitters make their mark by hitting the fastball. Old hitters make their mark by keeping up with the old pitchers who have learned to throw junk in the big leagues.

Discussing yesterday's game with jbox. He's arguing for best game of the season on the basis of how dominant the team was. I'm feeling second best, but I kinda get the argument for third best. After all, you never forget your first time and also Chase Headley Grand Slam.

However, best game of the season might not be unreasonable considering it locked up the first series of the season that we didn't lose.

I dunno... Let's hear arguments from Gaslamp Ballers before adding it to the list where it is set in stone and HTML forever. Where should this game rank?
