Thoughts on SD Padres?

I think they might struggle in a 5 game series. Cease is good but untested and King is decent too but a step down from Cease. After that I think you lose game three and you better be up 2-0 when that happens.

I went to my first Padres game in 1970 when I was in recruit training in the Marines. That's the first time I saw the Padres lose, and have witnessed many more in the last 50 years - the Padres have a way of getting your hopes up and then breaking your heart. Eating sandwiches and visiting with Randy Jones was one of the many highlights of attending the games, even at Jack Murphy stadium.

I've cheered for them for the last 54 years since that first game - I know how the Red Sox fans must have felt all those years! Go Padres!
