Those Pesky Nats

People may talk about the Nationals 2012 West Coast trip for a long time to come. San Diego State's Strasburg pitched a gem and Bryce Harper made his Major League debut. Unfortunately, both of these events happened in the series after the Nationals came to San Diego. This series was like many others in 2012: the Padres struggled to hit and lost the series 2-1.

No Brotherly Love for Phils


It was time for the Phillies annual takeover of Petco Park. There is little joy for Padres fans when this team comes to town. Coming into this series, the Phils had gone 22-4 in Petco Park and had an 11-game winning streak in the Pads' Park. Then there are the Phillies fans. Arrogant, angry fans wearing their pinkish-red jersey spouting obscenities at every turn. Ugh.

Deno Goes Yard

After a busy weekend series against the Dodgers, it was nice to come back to a much calmer Petco Park for a weekday series against the D-backs. No Dodgers fans, a sprinkling of Arizona fans and mostly just laid back Padres fans. Ahhh...just how I like it.
