It's gotta be the camo

Coming into today, San Diego Padres pinch-hitter Tony Clark had as many extra-base hits as I have this season.
Despite the big zero in the EBH category, the Padres went to the pinch-hit extraordinaire late and Clark delivered with a go-ahead, three-run homer off Billy Wagner to give San Diego its fifth straight win, 8-6, and a four-game sweep of the New York Mets.
So is it time to start celebrating in San Diego? Sure it is, the Padres haven’t won 8 of 10 in forever, it seems.
At the same time, the past four games came against the Mets, the fourth-place team in the NL East, who went 2-5 on their trip to Cali.
And the Padres are still nine games under .500 and seven games out in the NL Worst — so hold that ticker-tape parade Friar fan, you’ve still got some work to do.
