Unlucky

As last week progressed I spent some time thinking about what I'd write about this week. The Padres were tearing through opponents, winning games in dramatic fashion and behaving like a team that was not going to finish in last place. That's the type of team that is fun to write about. When writing about a winner you can write tribute pieces about the individuals contributing to a team's success or you can simply throw hyperbole wherever you like. No one will call you on it, because everyone is just so happy to be winning. But now it's my turn to post and the last thing to happen in Padres' history is this:



That's Josh Johnson's stat line from a 10-1 dismantling of the Padres. I didn't really feel like writing about that.
