Fans of the Star Trek movies approach them knowing that for every KHAAAN...
...there is a KHAAAAAAAHHHHHHH.
You have to love the Star Trek movies as an idea, a concept, not as an actual franchise capable of consistent quality. So it is with the Padres.
TFW you see the hashtag #NotMyKhan is trending |

Brad Hand came in for the save, and the Padres tied up this series 1-1. It should be noted that the Padres have a number of pretty good players - Christian Villanueva, for example, is one home run shy of leading the National League, Ross and Richard have done solid work on the mound, and there's some speed and skill in the outfield. When we launched this blog, I predicted a .500 finish for this team. If the Padres are the MLB equivalent of Star Trek movies, I stand by that.
