Since their birth in 1969, the San Diego Padres have won two NL Pennants and captured the NL West title five times. In 2007, the San Diego Padres fell just short of reaching the postseason after two previous years of dominance of the NL West. In 2008, the Padres have all the firepower they need to break away from the NL West and capture the division crown with ease!
Skipper Bud Black is at the Padres helm and hopes to lead the San Diego Padres back to the top of the NL West for the 3rd time in 4 years. With a pitching staff that’s second-to-none, the Padres will send out the likes of 2007 Cy Young winning ace Jake Peavy, future Hall of Famer Greg Maddux, along with Chris Young, Randy Wolf, Mark Prior, and electrifying closer Trevor Hoffman to shut down the bats.
The Padres won’t disappoint on the offensive end, either, as Khalil Greene, and Brian Giles provide plenty of run support game after game. RF Jody Gerut moves up from the minors to replace the released Jim Edmonds and will bring another strong bat to the lineup. The San Diego Padres have a history of keeping games close and ending them with exciting finishes, especially against NL West rivals San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Fans of great pitching won’t want to miss a San Diego Padres game on the road or at home inside the state-of-the-art PETCO Park. The open air stadium allows fans to enjoy the famously nice San Diego weather and offers a scenic view of San Diego Bay.
