Nonsensical Easter Magic Trumps Game's Best Pitcher

I made the suggestion that because it is Easter, a celebration of Christ's resurrection, it was also a day that the Padres' offense could rise from the dead. This seems implausible on account of three damning factors:

1. The Padres' offense, really, really, really, stinks.
2. Defending NL Cy Young winner Roy Halladay is on the hill for the Phillies.
3. Apparently the Padres are unable to defeat the Phillies (10 in-a-row) in PETCO park.

 Despite my use of imagery being semi-sacrilegious I think the Padres can rise against the odds precisely because it makes no sense at all. Baseball often makes little sense. Defeating Roy Halladay makes little sense. Therefore the Padres will do something that makes little sense. They'll win.

Craig Elsten of 619 Sports laughed at my assertion suggesting that no amount of Easter Magic could help the Padres. He's probably right.

Nevertheless I've written the headline for a Padres win.*
