Can you believe it? Twice in a row! I am TOTALLY going to go buy a lottery ticket!
My San Diego Padres have never won back to back division titles, in the entire history of their franchise. Since they were established in 1969 (like this author), that is quite a statement. We have also never had anyone throw a no-hitter, perfect game or hit for the cycle. These things will come in time, I am sure. I can feel them in the wind.
Prior division wins (or wild card berths) were claimed in 1984, 1996, 1998, 2005. Now, we can add one more year to that list - 2006!
We ended up with the same record as the Dodgers, 88-74, but we won the division based on our domination of them all season. We are playing the slumping Cards, and the Dodgers will fly to New York to take on the Mets.
Not only is this a historic moment for the Padres, but what it really means is that I will get to watch the Padres play on TV again! This only getting to see them when they play the Cubs (thank you WGN), or the Braves (ditto TBS) is the pits.
The Padres are going to the playoffs!!!! I am beside myself! Woo hoo!
I am convinced that the fact that SGBD is wearing her Padres collar, as well as her Padres kerchief, is what helped push them onward to victory. Don't underestimate the power of the Sweet Georgia Brown Dog.
Let's go, Pa-dres, let's go! (clap, clap) Let's go, Pa-dres, let's go!
