The 2005 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished first in the NL West, 5 games clear. They spent 136 of 182 days in first place, led by as many as 7 games on September 8 and were as far as 5.5 games back on April 20. Their best month was May at 22-6, their worst July at 8-18. The longest runs were an 8-game winning streak from May 11 to May 20 and an 8-game losing streak from July 17 to July 26. They were 46-35 at home and 36-45 on the road, 29-20 in one-run games and 31-29 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 10-0 at the Diamondbacks on May 26; the heaviest defeat, 20-1 at the Rockies on September 20.

The players whose season belongs to this club, by position and then by dbWAR. A player traded mid-season is listed with the club he played most of his games for, so a deadline arrival may appear on his other club’s page instead.
Each rectangle is a player, sized by his share of the team's hits; darker means a larger share. Top 30 contributors. Select a different statistic above, or click a player for his page.
Day and night divide the home schedule, and so do weekend and weekday. The road line is a different question.

Announced gate — tickets distributed, which is the figure every reference publishes and is not the same as people through the turnstile. A game the feed reports no gate for is left out rather than counted as empty. Seasons before attendance was carried into the lake are absent from the trend rather than shown as zero.

By season
Regulation games only, in minutes. 163 minutes this season.
Elapsed time from first pitch to final out. The feed does not itemise delays, so a rain delay is inside these numbers with no way to subtract it. Games called early are excluded — five innings in ninety-three minutes is not a short game — but they still count in attendance, because the crowd turned up.
Record versus run differential
San Diego Padres are 82-80, a .506 win rate, while their -42 run differential implies .473. That is about 5 wins ahead of it, usually a mix of bullpen sequencing and one-run luck.
