The season is extremely young, and we shouldn't place too much faith into three weeks of stats, but have you noticed that the Padres are beating their Pythagorean? Yeah, they've scored 49 runs and allowed 57, which is more indicative of a 6-9 record than the Pads' actual 8-7 mark.
Again, it's early and we don't want to read much (if anything) into this just yet. Something worth watching, though.

In retrospect, maybe leaving Cla Meredith out for a second inning of work wasn't such a great idea. Wouldn't that have been a good time for Heath Bell?
On the other hand, once the floodgates had opened, might as well get the obligatory Glendon Rusch appearance out of the way. Too bad he ...
