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.

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 :)
