Bah, the Padres dang near pulled it off, but that slide in August killed them and they just couldn't get the wheels back under in time to pull it out. Didn't help that Adrian Gonzalez is dealing with some sort of problem, and the "o" became as advertised. Scrappy team with a solid starting rotation/bullpen, just not enough pieces throughout the starting eight to get things done. Really disappointed in the way Ludwick played since being acquired.
Really interesting to see what happens to Gonzalez this off-season, as he is a free agent at next year's end.
