Only Now Am I Able To Talk About The Padres' Really Stupid Loss On Saturday

by Jason Avant

SPOILER ALERT: This happened.

The Padres went to Houston this weekend. Houston, as you'll no doubt recall, won the World Series last year, beating (checks notes) the Los Angeles Dodgers. This did not bode well for the Padres, even after beating the Astros in the series opener on Friday. Saturday's game may have been some sort of historic moment for the Padres. Was it the stupidest loss in team history? Who can say? But watch what happened in the 10th inning. The score was 0 - 0; Houston's Alex Bregman stepped up to the plate and did the opposite of "hit one so hard it hasn't landed yet".

Yes, it did land, rather quickly, in the infield, between two infielders and a pitcher. Your San Diego Padres lost 2 of their 3 games in Houston, and are now 2-8. The season has taken a dark turn rather quickly. Where have you gone, Ed Spiezio? Padres Nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
