"Pitching and defense, with just enough timely offense, lifted the Padres back to the forefront of the National League West in 2006. The difference this time was in the public perception of the achievement. Nobody was snickering at these Padres, unlike the 2005 division titlists, who finished 82-80. This time, they looked like champions, earning a second consecutive playoff berth for the first time in franchise history." - Sportswriter Lyle Spencer on MLB.com (10/01/2006)
