    Trophy Case


    Padres keep on losing, in more creative ways than before.

    "This is just a bad dream sequence. This is just a bad dream sequence." (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

    There was a time late last week when I had just convinced my non-Padres fan co-workers and friends that the Padres were for real, and then they do this.

    I mean, come on.

    Our playoff odds are now down to 87%, which would've sounded f_cking fantastic in April, but here in September after tasting the sweetness of over 96%, it looks like a kick in the balls.

    The Giants are now only 3 1/2 games behind us and could pull to 3 after tonight. I'm feeling like we're never going to win a game again. I hope we win again soon. I'm not even sure what to think. It just all feels so surreal.

    Go Padres, I think.

    I think these guys are plenty motivated enough. Believe me I'm all for motivational speakers... you can go down by your van by the river... have your motivation speech, but these guys are plenty motivated.

    Around the Mission: 9/1 Padres Links

    • Toast – Ducksnorts
      "I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have concerns. There are two good ball clubs chasing the Padres, and if the overachievers from San Diego don’t get back to playing smart baseball soon, they could find themselves looking up before long."

    • PADRES: This slump is no desert mirage
      "But it is probably a factor of the three things: defense, offense and pitching...We're in that range now where we are losing low-scoring games and losing some games when we score a few runs."

    • Padres at Park at the Park even when they're not - SignOnSanDiego.com
      “It was never about driving revenue,” he said. “It’s about taking advantage of an asset that’s so unique, giving fans a chance to come downtown and watch our team in a community setting. “It’s an investment in our fans.”

    • Rookie’s start will give staff rest - SignOnSanDiego.com
      “This is something we’ve talked about for awhile,” Padres manager Bud Black said Tuesday afternoon. “Our five starters have started all but two games this season.”

    Padres losing streak continues

    "I will give you a prostate exam with this finger!  Now turn around."

    "I will give you a prostate exam with this finger! Now turn around."

    Another poor start for Kevin Correia.  He gave up 6 hits and 6 runs in the game. Joe Thatcher gave up 2 hits and 1 run. Most of that was in the brutal 5th inning.  I really wish Bud Black would have pulled Correia as soon as he walked the pitcher Ian Kennedy.  He'd only pitched 4 innings, but I think I'd just be thankful that he took us that far and gone to some long relief before things got out of hand.

    Haha! First caller on John Kentera's postgame show is Ted.  "Kevin Correia is a loser, I'll take your comments off the air."

    Luckily Mat Latos will be pitching tomorrow and Corey Luebke will make his Major League Debut on Friday.

    Giants beat the Rockies so now the Padres hold a 4 game lead in the NL West.

    There's no denying it, our opponents are resting their balls on our chins and brushing our teeth with their dicks.

    Go Padres!

    Game Thread: 8/31, Padres vs. Diamondbacks

    Just got an emergency call from Dex!  "Jonny Dub!  I won't be home in time and your the only one who can save us!  You are the Padres only hope."

    Ironic... So here I am saving our team from continuing down the worst skid of the season.  I'm here to get this season back on track!
