Inexplicable because, as now, I live in NY. My only experience with the team other than when they played the Mets was studying the daily box scores. very day I would excitedly look if Nate Colbert hit a home run or if Frank Reberger pitched again. The team started out okay (.400ish) and then spent the summer doing almost nothing but losing. I know these retro segments are not generating a lot of postings but I for one am enjoying them.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-39733">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> As a 9 year old, I inexplicably became a fan of one the new teams, the Padres.

Starting with a 3 game sweep, only allowing 1 run in the series, and a near no-hitter in the third game of existence. Surely this team must have won several World Series by now and be a perennial contender. At the very least, they have to have had several no-hitters thrown, right?<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-39635">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Wow, this Padres franchise must be really good.
