Series Preview #52: Diamondbacks vs. Padres

Baseball is a funny sport.

The Diamondbacks were the reigning National League Champions and had gotten better, but the Padres were a good team, and there was no realistic chance at the division (even if some writers on this site predicted 100 wins and a division title). It was frustrating, but seemed realistic.
