Game 36
The Padres are cursed on their 36th game of the season. They've lost a horrifying 82% of their games. Coincidentally that's 36 losses in 44 games. By far the worst in their history.

It took the franchise 17 years to win their first game 36. They also had a 9 year losing streak from 1996-2004. Since then they've been playing .500 baseball. Maybe the curse has been broken, or maybe not...
