I am pretty sure that the Padres are 97-65 over the last 12 games, counting the back end of last season. Why most people continue to tinkg that they will fade is beyond me. I even heard, on MLB, a talk about the Dodgers, Rockies, and Giants. They went on for about 5 minutes and wrapped up with a "should be a great four team race!". No montion of the Padres though, even though they've been on top everey month so far. No respect.
