The Monkees sang, "I'm A Believer."
I would have to say the same thing about the Padres. I'm a believer.
I've been waiting all year for the wheels to fall off and they just keep winning and pulling away in the NL West.
They have the best record in the National League at 73-47 and hold a 6-game lead over the second place Giants.
The Padres have the best pitching in baseball, have the highest team fielding percentage in the game and they get timely hitting.
It's funny, I just looked at the Artificial Turf 2010 Baseball Predictions on my website (www.turfsports.net). Of the 10 people participating, every single one of us except Justin Adams picked San Diego to finish last in the division. Justin picked them to finish 4th with only Arizona worse off.
Bud Black should win the NL Manager of the Year Award with Dusty Baker coming in a distant second.
Nobody thought the Padres would sniff winning the West and now, they are running away with it.
Yes, I'm a believer.
