With over 20 games of the season now in the books, the second Skill and Skunk awards add a little more color to the overall picture. The Skill awards suddenly have a little more flash, spit and polish, while the Skunk awards smell a little more like the loaf of Limburger left in the sun.
Overall, the Padres have remained remarkably consistent. Their 8-14 record is unsatisfactory, although it's a stat you can put into perspective, especially following a four-game series against one of the all-time Padre-killing teams, the Phillies.
Of course, we can't ignore the most telling stat of all. With five shutouts so far this season, the Popguns' batters are on pace for 40 for the season. Ouch.
Some roster moves will have to be made soon if San Diego doesn't want to mail in the season by the All-Star break or sooner.
Without further ado, let's hand out the hardware.
