Ah, the Collapse

That was pretty awful. Eaton, obviously collapsing under the pressure of being one of the NLs best this year went back to the old Eaton.

The Padres collapsing under the pressure of first place and high expectations.

Fans like me thinking it was too good to be true.

Comparisons to 98, 96, and 84.

Well, the good thing about abject failure is you know where you stand. The Padres have no illusions now. Niether do, and frankly, I feel better.

Baseball does that to you, rewards the real teams, pushes the pretenders aside, ignores the nobody teams. 162 games is enough to figure out who is who.

I starting to believe the Padres are pretenders.

Oh well, Go Padres!

Notes:
1. Its tough blogging when they lose. That is why I respect Ducksnort. He has been doing blogging Padres for a lot of years and through some trying times.
2. Credit Daryl May for saving the bullpen with five innings of relief.
3. Nothing agianst the Flan Man, but Jerry and Teddy just work together better. If they give Flan a few years, he will get better.
