Phillies P Roy Halladay deserves all the congratulations for his playoff-opening no-hitter vs. Cincinnati, but you realize, don't you, that could very well have been the Padres on the other side? With his stuff that night, it wouldn't have made much of a difference...Good that the Padres have increased the number of low-priced seats at Petco Park for 2011. It shows the management is not inflexible and is willing to roll with the times, which will have benefits on the baseball side, too. That's a good first step toward increasing attendance next season. The next step, can you please move Petco Park to a more convenient location?...Lord, I'm hoping that the statements attributed to GM Jed Hoyer about bringing back RF Ryan Ludwick, and Ludwick's comments about wanting to return, are all about them making nice. The Padres insistence on putting him in the lineup every night in September might have cost them a playoff berth.

The feeling of over-confidence among Chargers fans and commentators this week is rivaling Kansas City and Seattle proportions. I know the Bolts have beaten the Raiders 13 times in a row by an average of two touchdowns each, but this is 2010, when San Diego has yet to win on the road. Fortunately, the weather should be good.

It used to be a big deal when Dayton came to town to play USD in football. Plus, it's homecoming. Instead, nothing. Sure, the Toreros are 1-4 but that owes as much to an over-ambitious schedule as anything. The game is at 2 p.m.
