Welcome to the second half. Here’s what the Padres need to do the rest of the way to reach certain benchmarks:
- 28-39 to finish at .400
- 31-36 to finish at .420 (worst record in NL last year)
- 36-31 to finish at .450
- 44-23 to finish at .500
- 52-15 to finish at .550 (repeat of ’07)
If they win each of their remaining 67 games, the Padres will finish at 104-58, a game back of the ’04 Cardinals.
Are we having fun yet?
#88@Paul R: Agreed. I have been lax in enforcing the comments policy, but that will change soon. More later…
MadFriars reporting that Shane Buschini was released this morning … seems like a quick trigger … but we did draft with an emphasis on hitters this year so guys from previous years who aren’t excelling are getting squeezed …
