The Padres bopped the Cardinals right on the beak last night with a 9-3 victory. They won their 60th game of the season and their 30th at home in Petco Park this year. Maybe more importantly they also won their 500th game at Petco Park. I kind of wish that they had pulled out the same 500 sign covered in roman candles that they used for Trevor Hoffman's 500th save. I enjoy those little nods to the past.
We were there back in 2004 when they won their first one on Petco Park Opening Night.
