The HEAT!
Listening and hearing about the unbelievable HEAT that most of the country is going thru...egads...100* +...what the heck?... it was 92* out at Singing Hills, too ...yesterday...BUT, here in the Marina District, in downtown San Diego... we are in the 70's ...so, you can guess the outcome of that...we are slammed with people from inland...especially the fat cats from Arizona... Which, coincidentally, have their beloved Snakes in town to take on the Friars ... the crowd was the most ever for a Padre game...over 47,000! ...and all were treated to a donnybrook... SD was up 7-2 in the 9th...and lo and behold, the DBacks came alive and hit 2 dingers, one a grand salammy...and we were down 8-7 ...and the Arizoneans in the park, were going bat shit crazy...ie, rocking our near flawless closer...the Horse had had enough...turned the game off and went to bed...downtrodden... talk about the weather...I am officially a fair weather fan ...as, here came back the Friars in the bottom of the 9th...
