Because they pwn the Gnats.

Did any of your local papers detail the ass whoopping the Phillies have given the Padres at their ballpark since they opened in 2004? They've won 7 straight against at Petco and are 18-4 overall since 2004.Mikey wrote:Definitely hurt.
Luckily I was too busy putting together a bbq and pool party to watch the melt.
Still got:
1. Best record in the NL
2. A 5 game margin over the Gnats.
It's a good they got this out of their system now.
The Phillies definitely have a strong rotation, and I know that the Pads have always had trouble against Oswalt.
Hopefully the timely hitting will start coming back again soon.
Just like in DC, the Padres are slaves to the almighty dollar. And when a large contingent of your fanbase still lives at home with mom and dad, they have a lot more money to spend.jiminphilly wrote:Edit- One thing I don't understand is how the Padres org allows such a large contingent of Phillies fans to get primo seating behind the Phillies dugout? Most teams move visiting fans as far away as possible but it seemed like a home game when I was listening to the game on the radio.
Don't get the local papers. We're almost halfway between San Diego and LA, though still in SD County. The San Diego papers are of notoriously low quality when it comes to reporting national and international news, so we get the LA Times. Unfortunately they no longer have a San Diego edition, so Padre coverage consists of a 1 paragraph summary with the daily box score. Local sports coverage is the one thing I miss from not getting the Union Tribune.jiminphilly wrote:Did any of your local papers detail the ass whoopping the Phillies have given the Padres at their ballpark since they opened in 2004?
