How Not to Win a Division
I’m not in the best frame of mind right now. Frankly, I’m disgusted with the way the Padres are playing. There’s a decent enough chance they’ll make the playoffs by default, but if they keep doing what they’re doing, they’ll get smoked pretty quickly and have a nice long winter to think about it.
