The Dodgers have long been the ruling power in the National League West, champions of the division 11 times in the last 12 years.
Our goal, and San Diego knows this as well, is to win a championship. And from that pursuit, one of baseball's most heated modern rivalries has sprouted.
The Padres have proved to be a different kind of foil - coupling a contrast in style and culture with enough staying power to fuel increasingly contentious bouts.
