JUS NFL BLOG 9/21: 49ERS CRUSH THE DOLPHINS, ZAK KEEPS IT ROLLING
The final score says the 49ers destroyed the Dolphins. 35-13. And they did. But if you actually watched the first half, it was a lot more competitive than that score makes it look. Miami moved the ball. They put together a couple of pretty impressive drives. And for a little while, the 49ers defense looked…

HOUSTON, THE PADRES FOUND TOM HANKS

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A MIZE
Apollo 13 had an oxygen tank explode, sending them whirling through space, and it was only through the extraordinary skill of Tom Hanks that they even survived. The Padres’ exploding oxygen tank is the pitcher they got at the trade deadline for one of their top prospects: Casey Mize.

THE PADRES BULLPEN DRAWING CARDS TO SEE WHO GETS TO BLOW THE GAME TODAY
At this point, I picture the Padres bullpen sitting around before the game drawing cards to see who gets to blow it today. Time for the bullpen to STEP IT UP. I know, I know. The Padres bullpen has been lights out for most of the season. They’ve been one of the reasons this team…

STEP UP OR GET JACKED UP
This is it. We’re in September. The Padres and Diamondbacks are separated by half a game for the final NL Wild Card spot. Every game matters. Every inning matters. Every at-bat matters.

CALL FEMA, I’D LIKE TO REPORT A DISASTER
Call FEMA. I’d like to report a disaster. The Padres got swept by the Tampa Bay Rays this weekend, and Sunday’s finale was a certifiable disaster. A clown show of errors culminating in one of the strangest plays you’re ever going to see in a baseball game.

The NL Wild Card race is getting crazy. Arizona refuses to go away. The Diamondbacks beat the Giants 10-6 last night, and with the Padres losing to Tampa Bay, Arizona is now just HALF A GAME behind San Diego for the final NL Wild Card spot.
