The Giants would have to go 17-10 to overtake them. It's a little worse for the Rockies, and the Trolley Dodgers would have to border on the miraculous to get the job done.
That says nothing about the Pads' performance IN the playoffs, though.
For SDHornet: What happened to the HS Scoreboard Show last night? That was why I tuned in, and it wasn't there.
Yeah it's not over for the Pads but they aren't doing themselves any favors.
I have no idea what happened to that readio show segment.
The streak is over. The Pads beat the Trolley Dodgers 4-2 last night.

Level II: The Goose/Maverick Tailspin
Definition: Cruising happily through the baseball regular season, a potential playoff team suddenly and inexplicably goes into a tailspin, can't bounce out of it and ends up crashing for the season. In "Top Gun," the entire scene lasted for 30 seconds and we immediately moved to a couple of scenes in which Tom Cruise tried to make himself cry on camera but couldn't quite pull it off. In sports, the Goose/Maverick Tailspin could last for two weeks, four weeks, maybe even two months, but as long as it's happening, you feel like your entire world is collapsing. It's like an ongoing Stomach Punch Game. And when it finally ends, you spend the rest of your life reliving it every time a TV network shows a montage of the worst collapses in sports history. Other than that, it's no big deal.
I saw "Goose" and immediately jumped to Gossage....

Ladies and gentlemen, the 2010 San Diego Padres!
And tonight makes 2 in a row against the rocks.
There is a slight glimmer of hope the Padres might be able to pull out the West still...but there is plenty of baseball left...
Oh, ye of little faith. I see a Padre sweep throwing a HUGE monkey wrench into the works.
