Aww yeah MLB fans..Padres are in first place!

[eSDee]

Sorry people I just had to relish this moment while it lasts. The Padres have the second lowest payroll in baseball but they are still competing with the big boys. It's quite an accomplishment too since they have a bunch of young guns and no star pitchers. Yet.

If you are interested, check out this graph of how they have risen from the dead to first place in just a month:

They may be in first in their division, but they are 8.5 games back from Seattle, who is first in their division, league, and oh, all of baseball too!
