March 29 - For the San Diego Padres, the good news out of the first two games is their bullpen has allowed just one run in 11 innings and been responsible for two wins over the visiting Atlanta Braves.
The bad news is that said bullpen can't be asked for more than half the outs in every game if San Diego is to have another good season. That's why manager Mike Shildt -- and probably more than a few of the bullpen arms -- are hoping Randy Vasquez can put together a lengthy outing when the Padres try to secure a series win over Atlanta on Saturday.
