The Padres are stocking the clubhouse with champagne in preparation for receiving the 2015 NL West pennant!

It's a great stadium in a great part of a great city. I have long enjoyed watching the Giants win there and then heading off to the Gaslamp District for a beer or twenty.

MLB has just released a statement that the Giants have mercifully requested that all NL West games be cancelled next season and the Padres be awarded the pennant by concession.

And in unrelated news...

Tennessee paramedics were called to assist a man in removing his hand from his ass. When asked why his hand was there, he replied "I was pulling ideas out. I guess I was reaching too deep on the last one."

You could have wounded me much easier by telling me what the weather is like in San Diego today, Cal. :bawling:

Definitely added a lot of talent.

The depth chart on espn.com has Matt Kemp playing CF. Not sure if that's accurate, but I'm not sure that Kemp is up to that at this point.

Gyorko turning things around also figures to be pretty important for the Padres. He really showed a lot of promise two years ago. Not so much last year.

Gyorko's offense is a big question mark for sure.

Yeah, the Padres are going to be a good team next year but I wouldn't crown them anything just yet.

The playoffs are about pitching and defense. And usually, the pitching is only as good as the defense.

The Padres defense this year will ensure they have about a 0.000034% chance to win the Series in '15.

The Padres stellar pitching and potent offense this year will ensure they have about a 51% chance to win the Series in '15.

I love the Padres but it's still a little soon, cal. Like the enthusiasm though! :thumb:

Shit.

It looks like you are experiencing server probs, again, Hammer.

Better get the tech guys on the horn.

SD will not be a 'surprise' if they make the playoffs, they are quite loudly taking a shot. Won't be a surprise if Miami or Toronto or the Chisox or Cleveland make it either.

Some teams that would be genuine surprises, but have an actual shot at doing that? Cubs, Astros, Rangers
