I was rooting for 'em and hoping for a Cubs/Padres LCS; thinking back to '84. I think bad karma must have finally caught up with Barrett -- I could be way off base here but, perhaps he was bannished from Cubdom for having a bad attitude. By the way, saw a replay on ESPN this morning of the play at home plate. Looks like Holliday may not have touched the plate!<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-91349">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> My condolences to Pads fans.

I have a legit story about how as a youngster I was a Yankee fan (gross, I know) until my favorite players Nettles and Gossage became Padres. But most of the time people are then like, who? The 10PM gametimes suck for me, and even more the complete lack of TV coverage is the worst.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-90223">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 161 (2) - agreed wholeheartedly.
