Purchase San Diego Padres Playoff Tickets at Onlineseats
The weather off the coast of California might be warm and comfortable, but the chill in the air that alerts the rest of the Major League Baseball that it is time to play or shut up manages to find its way to San Diego. Every August the anticipation starts building for the postseason and the Padres fans start thinking about the playoffs and tickets to see their favorite team play for a trip to the World Series.
San Diego Padres 2009 Playoffs
Those years may be few and far between, but the team has made the best of them. The Padres managed to reach the World Series twice in their short history, first in 1984 and then in 1998. The first time they had to go through the Chicago Cubs in the National League Championship Series before getting tickets to the World Series to face the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers would win in five games. The second time the playoffs took them to Houston in the NLDS and then to Atlanta to play the Braves in the NLCS. The Padres ended up becoming one of the many National League victims of the New York Yankees in the World Series that season.
Other seasons the playoffs tickets ended after a single series. The Padres could not beat the St. Louis Cardinals in 1996 in the NLDS and the team repeated its futility against the Cardinals in the NLDS in 2005 and 2006. Those seasons saw the hopes and dreams of a championship-less team fade away quickly as October rolled on.
San Diego Padres Background
This year’s team has to rely on its stars to survive. The only real option in the starting rotation is Jake Peavy. The bullpen is terrific, but the bullpen is no replacement for a decent starting pitcher. The offense is equally as stunted. Those with playoff tickets to PETCO Park are relying on Adrian Gonzalez, Kevin Kouzmanoff, and Brian Giles to carry the load. Gonzalez is the best player in the lineup, but he and Kouzmanoff cannot be counted on alone to win ball games.
