So you think the NL West is terrible this season?
Maybe so, but it’s not as weak as it was three years ago.
Consider the standings after Sept. 1, 2008; compared to what they were in 2005:

As you can see, at least there’s a “race” to the finish this season (which is more than happened in 2005.)
But this time, the Padres aren’t going to win it. And same as last time, nobody deserves to win … but somebody has to!

Make no mistake; it's still a horrible division!
The Dodgers play the Padres 9 times in September. They're gonna win it cause the Padres can't beat anybody. The Padres are terrible!
