3 Games… and 3 Days…

Posted on | September 28, 2007 | No Comments

The Padres post season hopes ride on three games against the high-powered Brewers. With three days left on the regular season, the pad sit 1 game back in the NL-West and lead the NL Wild Card. They now control their own destiny, despite what Arizona, Colorado, Philadelphia and New York do.

Sweep the Brewers and we’re off to the post season. Sounds reasonable right? Did I mention the Brewers have to sweep the Padres to have a shot at the Cubs?

Ahh parity… not as much as the NFL, but its nice to see the NL have some. Currently the Mets and Phils are tied on top of the NL East. One will make it out to the playoffs. The other may challenge for the Wildcard. Also tied with these two are the ‘where did they come from’ Rockies who no help from the dodgers have swept their last 3 series, and are on a 11 game winning streak. Arizona gets them for 3 days at mile-high, so either outcome will benefit the padres, as long as they continue to win.

Lastly, there are tie breakers. Still in effect we could see 2 team, 3 team and even a 4 team tie breaker to determine who moves on and who goes home.

This weekend is going to be intense!
