The Day That Turned Around a Franchise


Monday May 5 may be looked back upon as one of the turning points in this young Padres season. “I was absolutely elated, and it being Cinco de Drinko today, I’m shocked I even know what that word means. That’s just how excited I am,” exclaimed one tequila sodden Padres fan.

The cause of this city wide elation? Other than the fact that San Diego borders Tijuana, and therefore Cinco de Mayo takes on a whole new meaning, of course. It was this one simple fact.

The Padres did not lose today.

The character showed by this team on this fine day was extraordinary. Granted, they did not actually play a game. But the lack of a win does not dampen the sweet success of not losing. Believe me, I’ve seen this team play, and if anyone could get a loss on a day off, its these clowns.

So Bravo Padres! Bravo indeed. Keep it up, I hope to watch you not lose for a long time to come.
