The Padres exercised Manager Bud Black?s option for the 2009 season Tuesday, according to an Associated Press report. Black made his managerial debut with the Padres in 2007, leading the club to an 89-74 record. The team fell one win short of a third straight playoff appearance. The 89 wins were the most for the Padres since they won a franchise-record 98 games in 1998.
