I took Logic 101: Intro To Logic back in college, and based on my ability to win arguments with my kids (ages 14 and 10) and random people on Twitter, it's clearly the only class that's had any real-world use. (Sorry, Government and Politics of The Middle East, but then, when were you ever useful to anyone?)

I deployed my Mad Logick Skillz a few days back, while basking in the glow of the Padres' repeated thrashing of the Actual NL Worst San Francisco Giants. Your NL Worst Staff was engaged in Facebook Messanger banter; I let the gang - America's Greatest Living Baseball Writer Dr. "Dutch" Neal "Buster" Pollack and Hacksaw Jason "Buster" Franz - know that I was "working on a piece about how shitty the Giants are".
LOGIC.
I wasn't wrong. The Padres were very Padre-esque this past weekend. The Dodgers gave them a bit of the ol' What-For; Neal basked in the glory. The Padres have some soul-searching to do; they are now 7 and 13, and tomorrow they face the Diamondbacks in Arizona. I still maintain that the Giants are the worst team in the west right now; the Diamondbacks will surely beat them tonight, and then they go and play the Angels in LA, where they will have to content with the Angels' advantage playing under weird American League rules (the DH, no force-outs on any base, the catcher can't wear a glove, etc.) As for positive take-aways for Padres fans, there's not a lot, but at least Christian Villanueva is not an insane crazy person. Proof, via his Ask A Padre Twitter session from last week:
