What can I say about this storied and sometimes bitter rivalry that hasn’t already been said? The history, the drama, the passion, the intrigue, the intensity, the sushi, the double soy lattes — I hardly know where to start.
So I won’t. Go Padres!
That LE boxscore is insane. I’ve never seen anything like that. I don’t know what impresses me more: the 30 runs scored, or the fact that it was a shut out.
