San Diego Padres Losing Streak Reaches 10

What on earth is going on with the San Diego Padres? On my birthday (August 25th), the Padres ripped the Arizona Diamondbacks a new one, beating them 9-3 at home. That win moved the Padres to 76-49 on the season and moved them 6.5 games up on the second place San Francisco Giants.

Unfortunately for the Padres and their fans, it’s September 6 and they still have 76 wins.

The Padres lost again to the Colorado Rockies yesterday, 4-2, and now have lost 10 straight games. It’s the first losing streak of 10 or more games by a first place team since the Pittsburgh Pirates accomplished the feat in 1932. The Padres now have a mere one game lead over the Giants in the NL West.
