6/1/1970 - April seems a long way away
The Padres were back to normal with a 13-19 month in May to put our season record at 27-26, just a hair above .500. Our offense came back to earth and is now tied for fourth in the league in runs scored with 239. We've allowed 231 runs, good for 8th in the league. We've definitely got some holes to plug, and are now faced with the difficult decision of how best to do that, with a good opportunity with the first overall pick in the draft. Which direction will we choose? I'm not even sure yet, so you'll have to wait until next month.
