Top 5 Best Moments 2014 San Diego Padres

 It’s been a long and rough season for the San Diego Padres, but not all was awful for Padres’ fans. Okay, it was pretty bad (Take the awful month of June for example) and yet another year of mediocre to bad baseball, finishing 3^rd in the N.L. West again at a record of 77-85. There have been worse records in Padres’ history before, but those teams dating back to the ending Qualcom days and early San Diego Stadium days had far worse rosters and talent.

The Padres were supposed to breakout this season and finally get over the disappointment tag. It didn’t happen, but there were some shining moments this year and should give some ray of hope for the 2015 season. Some of the most optimistic times in Padres history are times when the team isn’t expected to contend but here at Friars On Base, we think this franchise is heading in the right direction, with some new off-season additions and overdue subtractions, front office moves and a new general manager. We’ll look back at some of the best moments of 2014 and some spotlights on the future of this Padres franchise. It hopefully can’t get any worse than this past season.
