Back in the Playoffs! For the first time since 2006 the San Diego Padres will be playing October baseball. This will also be the first time in history that the Slam Diego Padres will be playing playoff baseball. You have to somewhat believe our playoff pod is the reason they clinched this week, but first we'll focus on recaping the three game away series at home against the Mariners and the two games with the Angels after an off day Monday the 21st.
