Wednesday (12 Jun) - Bragging Rights

Bragging often leads to a karma boomerang, but I can't help myself. The San Diego Padres swept the National League East leading Atlanta Braves this week, winning all three games in thrilling fashion. The Padres record is now 32-34, only three wins away from a winning record. The National League West division leaders, the Diamondbacks, come to town this weekend, and I hope we kick some butt.

Here's the prior status as of 30 May.

Our best player, Chase Headley, has continued to struggle. His struggles are mirrored in the Promise league (see below).

Chase Actual: .227 BA, .332 OBP, 6 HRs, 20 RBIs

Chase Promise: .227 BA, .310 OBP, 8 HRs, 23 RBIs

Chase Reality: .298 BA, .389 OBP, 8 HRs, 34 RBIs

I wish Chase really was hitting .298 as he is in the Reality league. The Padres would likely have a winning record.
