The 21-55 Diamondbacks are in San Diego this weekend to play the Padres. I had my eye on this series and was considering traveling there for the weekend and work a couple of games but didn’t pull the trigger on that trip. A few of my colleagues from the Arizona Press Box will be there, no doubt taking lovely strolls on the beach in the mornings to wash off whatever negativity remains from the night before.
The Padres are 45-32 and a mere .003 percentage points behind the 2nd place Dodgers. Both teams are 4.5 Games out of first.
