SAN DIEGO, CA - For the first time under the guidance of manager Tim Stoops, the San Diego Padres have won the National League West division crown. The Padres finished off the season with a 96-66 record, including the best road record (54-27) in all of PGL-MLB.
"I honestly wasn't expecting this, not this year," manager Stoops, runner-up to NL Manager of the Year, said in the team clubhouse. "Yet here we are celebrating this amazing year drinking Mountain Dew in the clubhouse." The Padres will face the Cincinnati Reds, winners of the NL Central division, in the National League Division Series. San Diego will have home-field advantage in the best-of-seven series. "The skipper and I both came to the Padres back in 1995," outfielder Garret Anderson reminisced. Anderson struggled in 2010, especially at home, finding himself relegated to the bench in the final weeks of the season. "It feels great to be around together for our first pennant." The Padres won the division by 8 games over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
