I was in San Diego last week and got to be at Petco Park (almost as lame a name as Energy Solutions Arena) when Greg Maddux went for win #350. Since no pitcher in modern baseball has ever won 350 games, it would have been a great feat to witness. It was 1-0 for the Padres going in to the 7th. Bell held off the Giants in the 8th, and then Trevor Hoffman came in to close things up. Problem is, he gave up a homer (into a strong wind) to Benji Molina and win #350 will have to wait until one of the two teams with a worse record than the Padres comes to town. They ended up losing in the 13th. Not that I really cared who won the game at that point. Anyway, just wanted to share my little frustrating story. Oh, side note... A guy got killed by a great white shark 15 miles north of where we were frolicking in the ocean the day before. Kinda freaky. But overall, it was a good trip to San Diego.
