2 Days for 1 Win…

Posted on | September 29, 2007 | No Comments

Continuing with the Padre coverage from yesterday, I’m proud to say the friars beat the brew-crew last night 6-3. After an early 2 run deficit, the padres game back opening up their lead to 6-2 at one point.

Around the league, the DBacks put a stop the Rockies winning ways, and guarantee themselves a playoff spot. With their win Phillies take the lead in the NL East, as the Mets fell to Florida. With the assistance of the Padres the Cubbies claimed the NL Central.

So where does that leave the Padres? With the Mets and Rockies both loosing, they have guaranteed themselves at least a 1 game playoff. Win either Saturday or Sunday’s game and at minimum they get the Wild Card. If the Dbacks win tonight, they guarantee themselves the NL West.

So its looking like there wont be back to back to back NL West titles, but for the first time in Padre history, they are going to the playoffs for the third year in a row.

Now the only decision is.. do they celebrate with a win today or not? The dback won’t start their game until after the padre game is completed.
