Padres Living Dead Watch

The Padres have turned their early season around with another winning streak in May. Last year in May the team went 22-8 on the way to winning the National League West. This year is looking like a repeat, with a terrible April followed by a terrific May.

Still, it's way too soon to unfurl the 2006 pennant flags. The Padres are 6-0 in May and on a 7 game winning streak against teams with a combined won-lost record of 42-48 (Dodgers, Giants, Cubs). The Pads are beating up on losers.

So, for the moment the Padres death watch is over and the team has joined the living dead. If they can win against winners, they can join the world of the living.
