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.

Wow.

I just looked over last weekend's NFL scores, and the Colorado Rockies outscored the winners of five football games, and matched the score of the winning Denver Broncos. It's a pity that the Padres didn't score at least one more run, so that we could call it a safety....

Oh, and I see y'all are five back, with four games against the division leader.

I saw that one go by on the ESPN ticker while watching the World Series of Poker, and what I first thought I saw was SD 3, COL 20 and my reaction was, "Why are they playing a college football game on a tuesday night?" Then I realized that was a 1, not a 3, and that it was NL, not NCAAF on the ticker. Whew!

Here's my hope that San Diego continues to play this way for the remainder of the season. Go Giants!

Well...being a San Diego native, I can only attribute this to the simple fact that someone in my immediate family was either at the game, was listening to the game or watched the game.

It never failed. If we attended, listened to or watched a game (all innings), they lost. We left one game and they wound up winning...

*sigh* I know I'm outnumbered...but at least I can admit my team sucks :)
