Seasons

The 2005 San Diego Padres season was the 37th season for the San Diego Padres. For the first time since 1998, the Padres qualified for the postseason after six straight losing seasons. The 2005 team is noted as having the weakest record among any team to qualify for the postseason, finishing 82–80, tied with the 1973 New York Mets for the fewest wins ever in a non-shortened year since Major League Baseball expanded to a 162-game season in 1961, and the fewest of any team since 1885. The National League West was weak in 2005, with all teams finishing below the .500 mark except for the San Diego Padres, who only finished two games above the .500 mark. The closest team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, were five games back. Three teams in the Eastern Division finished with better records than San Diego but failed to qualify for the playoffs, such as the Philadelphia Phillies, who won 88 games and won all six of their games against the Padres. There had been some speculation that the Padres would be the first team in MLB history to win a division and finish below .500, but their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 30 gave them their 81st victory, guaranteeing a split record. They were swept in three games by the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLDS.
