Oh I'll definitely give you 2010, SD were one of the best teams in the league until Sept and then dogged it... but Black deserves at least as much credit for the first five months as he does blame for the last one. But you won't get much sympathy from me because as badly as the Pads stumbled in 2010, it pales in comparison to how the Rockies finished that year. They had played themselves right back into it (with help, admittedly, from the Padres) and then crapped the bed the last two weeks.
