“I think the Dodger-Padre series down here always brings a little bit more energy but I think this will be heightened because of Manny, because he is one of the true lightning rods in the game today,” San Diego manager Bud Black told the Associated Press on Thursday. “I guess our fans and the game itself will benefit from that.”

Well it seems as though the "Devil" in Devil Rays has officially been exorcised. The Rays win their first playoff game in franchise history on the shoulders of rookie Evan Longoria.

Suddenly it seems as though the Mets won't make the postseason yet again. After winning again the Brewers now find themselves in the driver's seat and the Mets are on the outside looking in.&nbs

The San Diego Padres will remember last year as the season that got away. They were one out away from winning the Wild Card when Tony Gwynn Jr. of the Brewers tripled off Trevor Hoffman. The Padres went on to have a 2-run lead in extras against the Rockies in that wonderful play-in game before Hoffman again blew the lead. This team should again contend for a playoff spot though. They have a suspect line-up, which is led by Adrian Gonzalez. They brought in Jim Edmonds to help in the middle of the order but they don’t scare many people. Khalil Greene, Scott Hairston and Brian Giles just aren’t going to cut it. The rotation is solid up front with CY Young winner Jake Peavy and Chris Young but after that I am not so sure. Greg Maddux is not getting any younger or any better, Randy Wolf never became the pitcher people thought he would turn into and Mark Prior has question after question as their 5 starter. Can he stay healthy and if so can he even come close to regaining the form he had back in 2003. I don’t think this bullpen is very strong either. Trevor Hoffman gets older and older and he continues to blow the biggest saves. Everything will have to go this teams way if they are going to stay in this tightly contested division race.
