last night's loss

Right in the middle for a reason. Lost by 7 last night. Hard to shake that off immediately. The bright spot: going 5-2 in a week will do nice things for the temperature.

Padres News

The San Diego Padres stand on the brink of history, needing just one win against the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight to clinch their third consecutive playoff berth. With an impressive 6-1 record over the last week and a staggering +19 run differential, the Friars are riding a wave of momentum, fueled by a powerful offense averaging 7.3 runs per game. Meanwhile, the looming possibility of a three-way tie for the NL Wild Card with the Cubs and Phillies adds an edge to the urgency of the moment. As the Padres prepare to face their rivals at Dodger Stadium, the potential return of Jason Adam to an already stellar bullpen could be the cherry on top for a team that seems poised for a deep October run. With their postseason dreams hanging in the balance, the Padres must seize this opportunity and bring the magic back to Petco Park.
