The Padres are now attempting the equivalent of a superior NBA team mounting a comeback down 18 in the third. It's doable, quite doable. But you have to lock down on both ends of the court over and over and over again in order for it to happen. REALLY helps when the other team turns over the ball (e.g. the failures of the teams ahead of SD) but you can't let up. It takes a lot of energy, and you can never afford to fade. It's a narrow path but yesterday was a LeBron chase-down block and fastbreak slam the other way.
