What's that sneaky reason, you ask? It's that the Padres might have the two best players in any short series they play against any other team in baseball.
Those two players of course are David Eckstein and Kevin Correia.
. . .
I kid you.
Of course those two players are Adrian Gonzalez and Jake Peavy.
All I'm saying is watch them play. If those two players are on their games they might be the best in baseball. Sure, Johan Santana could stake a claim to being the best pitcher in the NL, but does anyone really think the Mets have a better hitter than AGon when push comes to shove?
Of course not.
What about in the AL? Josh Beckett may have a better postseason record than Peavy, but who in the Red Sox lineup can honestly stake a claim to being a better hitter than Adrian? I know who. The ghost of Manny Ramirez.
Exactly.
And what about Manny and the hated Dadgers. Well, sure, Manny is a beast, but those Dadger pitchers are smoke and mirrors my friends.
Smoke. And. Mirrors.
Peavy could put Billingsley, Kershaw, Kuroda and the rest in his back pocket.
So that's all I'm saying. The Padres are probably going to win the World Series because they have Peavy and AGon.
What a coupla beasts.
