Missed opportunity with San Diego on Sunday

I know this is after the fact but I thought it might help someone in the future.

San Diego didn't want to be the first team to have a .500 record going into the playoffs. On Saturday they were 81-80. Certainly they would try their best on Sunday even though they had the division locked up. Sure enough they won on Saturday improving their record to 82-80.

This just goes to show an instance of where a team would work extra hard to win a game.

I'd tried some of that logic Friday night by taking the Indians. I think I even said I'd be surprised if they didn't sweep the series. Not just wrong, but WAY wrong.

Jeff Kent wasn't even playing. The Dodgers lineup over the weekend resembled a class a club.

Word of caution: Don't let the underdog Padres get you too excited. They suck.
