The Padres begin a make or break four-game series tonight in Los Angeles. It’s been a rough season, and at 40-51, San Diego is hanging on by a thread. If they can take three of four from the Dodgers, then there is hope heading into the second half of the season.

With the pressure mounting, it is important the team finds ways to relax. The first half of the season has been a grind, but that does not keep the guys from playing jokes on each other to ease the tension.
One of the best jokes is the #SpyOnCarlos from Huston Street’s Twitter account. Here are some of the tweets, courtesy of @HustonStreet:
