After a 16-year wait, boisterous fans let it all out with chants and cheers at Petco Park in pressure-packed postseason game against Dodgers
“I traded our five season tickets for two really good ones,” Pruetting said.
The wait to watch the Padres play in the postseason from their inception until they met the Cubs in the NLCS was 15 seasons. There was seemingly more Dodgers blue in the visiting dugout and bullpen than the rest of the ballpark.“Hey, Terrible Towels,” said one Padres fan, reminded of the towels famously waved by Pittsburgh Steelers fans.
“If you were on the bench, you had to scream just to talk to the guy next to you,” Padres pitcher Andy Ashby said. “I’m going to throw from the mound,” said Plum, who had no interest in throwing at the bottom of the hill as many first throwers do. “I have pride. You know what I mean? Do a little warmup. That’s why you lift weights, right? I think I’ll be OK.”
