July 3

Randy Wolf had no command for his second start in a row and the offense was non-existant for their second game in a row as the Rockies clobbered My Padres 8-1.

I still have some hope, dreams, that this season can be salvaged, mostly due to the troubles the D-backs and Dodgers are having.  But the Friars need to start playing a lot better, and soon.

Some Great News:  My Padres spent over $4 Million signing 5 international players yesterday.  They had promised to put a huge effort and big dollars into Latin America and the rest of the baseball playing world...and they did just that.  This splash on the heels of the opening of the new $8.5 Million Dominican Republic Padres baseball center gives me great hope the future is indeed bright and makes this terrible season, so far, easier to take.

Rockies 8, Padres 1
