Memo to Padre Fan: Quit Whining.

Title Track

There are exactly two teams with a greater probability of making the playoffs than the Padres. They are the 59-29 Chicago White Sox and the 56-32 St. Louis Cardinals. And the Cardinals are the only team with a greater probability of winning their division.

Right now, the Padres could reasonably play sub-.500 ball the rest of the way and still win the West. The Padres are practically guaranteed a playoff spot and from there it's a crapshoot anyway. Quit whining. Seriously. Just quit it.

This is the last "Memo to" post for a while. I promise...
