Like DiMaggio Before Me... An Epic Streak Ends

And the streak endeth...

What streak is this you ask?

Since opening day in 2010 I had attended at least one game on every home-stand... until the last one. My streak came to an end and the most disheartening part of it all resides in the painful reality that tickets to two games went unused. TWO!

I missed the Saturday September 3rd game against the Rockies and was then forced to bow out of the Wednesday September 7th game against the Giants.

How am I so certain of this streak? Well... I have every Padres Blueprint that's been issued. Except the last one. The irony? I believe that Jesus Guzman is on the cover. I AM JESUS GUZMAN.

So I need the last Blueprint, if you got it. Or will you get it for me? There might be a ticket in it for you. I can trade those unused tickets for a game against the Cubs. Time to send the invites.

I'm back in the saddle tomorrow night for the opener against the D-Backs. It's Oktoberfest.
