Padres Death Watch.

The punchless Padres sank to 8-13 and strengthened their grip on last place today by losing to Arizona 3-2. Once again, no offense. Team batting today, 3 for 29, 12, count 'em 12 strikeouts. The two runs came on two solo homers. Only 3 LOB, but that's not a failure to capitalize on opportunities, it's a failure to create an opportunity.

On the bright side, there were no egregious Bochy blunders this game. Even sitting the team's hottest hitter, Josh Barfield, worked out as Mark Bellhorn turned in some stellar plays at second base and hit one of the homeruns.

Mister Americano's season ticket record: 2-2.
