You Stay Afloat San Diego

Proving how slow it is around Dodgertown as of late, Dylan Hernandez has written two pieces about the San Diego Padres that both appear in today's Los Angeles Times. In an article outlining tough times down south was this line...

The Padres lost to the Colorado Rockies in a one-game playoff to determine the National League wild card in 2007.

A painful loss yes; however, it should never have come to that. The day before the Padres had a chance to win the wild card outright and, despite having Jake Peavy on four days rest, opted to start...wait for it...wait for it...........Brett Tomko. You'll never guess how he fared.

In actual Dodger related news, how will the Bums fare in today's draft? They have the 36th pick overall after forfeiting their first round pick to Arizona as a "penalty" for signing Orlando Hudson. Anyone want to push the reset button on that deal? Didn't think so.
