Quote of the day
"I think everybody knew we had to sweep them and not get swept." -- White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle, after getting swept by the Twins to fall 9 games back in the AL Central Daily blurb
Just a month ago, San Diego had the best winning percentage in the NL, San Francisco was 5 games back, and the Rockies were 10 behind. I don’t know how people in the San Diego area regard the Padres, but I do know that if the Padres and Red Sox had switched places this year, Bostonians would be slitting their wrists about now. The Giants overtook the Padres last night, and based on recent trends, Colorado could pass them as well – probably within a week.
It’s now time to make your final football plans for week #2, not only setting your various rosters, but making your picks in Football Pickoff as well. Don’t forget – although sometimes, getting a zero in Football Pickoff isn’t such a bad result.
