Padres

A bit of personal blogvibing here, as if by saying "GO [your favorite team here]," especially in virtual-land, that they actually do "go":

I am, by birth, a San Diego Padres fan. This means that I am a member of a select group of about 173. "Padres,... posh," you say. But apart from its corrupt politics and Republican retirees, San Diego has the most laid-back baseball team in the country. They're doing what they need to do. No Boston fans that would break a bottle over your head for liking the Yankees. No dirty-hands Braves fans.

And, finally, no injuries. Classes to prep for tomorrow, but ESPN2 is actually showing a Pads game. A long night ahead.

Tonight the Padres can wrap up their division title by beating San Francisco. Go Pads.

UPDATE (1:10am, 29th September):

Padres 9, Giants 1

And the sound of a lone "woo hoo!" echoes around blogland.
