I don't think I've gotten a Padres game right, fade or back, since late April. I swear every year it's them, the Giants and the Blue Jays that just Rubik's Cube me. Sure, I Kobayashi Maru'd the Cube eventually by simply breaking it and gluing back together. That's when I knew I was devious. Course, I was 44 when happened so I may have issues ... Ronald Acuna Jr. is expected to make his return on Friday from a torn ACL. That's enough to play the Braves by itself. Oh, and Chris Sale is pitching.
