The San Diego Padres almost won game one of their doubleheader against the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday afternoon. Just like they almost got to .500 when they were playing the Los Angeles Dodgers at the beginning of August. And they almost won 19 of the one-run games they’ve lost this season. And they almost won those 10 extra inning games.
That’s what this year has been for the Padres. A season of almosts. They almost did this. They almost did that. Guess what? The bottom line is San Diego is seven games under .
