Colorado Rockies: 20
San Diego Padres:1


The San Diego Padres had "one of those nights" Tuesday, a debacle of a ballgame in which they looked nothing like a playoff team.

Coming off three straight tight and impressive victories, the Padres took a big step backward, allowing eight RBIs to Matt Holliday in matching the most lopsided loss in franchise history, 20-1 to the Colorado Rockies.

"Nobody got hurt," Padres manager Bruce Bochy said, trying to find a bright spot. "We got knocked out early in the first round."

Holliday hit two homers in amassing his career high for RBIs. That total was the most in the NL this season, and tied the franchise record.

"It was kind of humbling," Holliday said. "It's fun with these type games. When you're on the winning side, it's fun. When you're on the losing side, it's terrible."

Colorado matched a franchise record with its 20 runs and tied the Yankees — 20-11 winners over Tampa Bay on June 21 — for the most in the major leagues this season. The 19-run victory was the largest winning margin in franchise history.

The astute reader may have noticed that I'm posting long after I should have been at work.

Blame it on the burrito.

Yesterday, racing around trying to keep my schedule in the green, I grabbed burrito from a catering truck (known as "roach coaches" for obvious reasons.) The burrito was pretty good, and I wolfed it down while driving. Then wolfed it right back up.

Last night my stomach was still in knots, and I wasn't better this morning. So I decided that plumbing was the better part of valor. If I don't feel better by tonight, I may check out an ER for food poisoning.

Bleh.

Going back to bed to hide under the covers with my bears and pout. Today is just a lot of no fun.
