The middle series of this 9-game road trip against the NL West brings the Rockies to AT&T Park while Barry Bonds chases 715. I'd rather not have Jeff Francis be the answer to that particular piece of trivia.
The team will need a couple of wins this series in order to avoid falling behind the Padres and their (the Rockies') opponent in the standings. But how many games could the Padres really win against the Cards?
