Officially, Ramón Laureano is shorter this season. The Padres left fielder also might be as good as he's ever been: nytimes.com/athletic/7208778…

As a Padres fan, I can't think of a better example of schadenfreude.

The Dodgers, one out away from a no-hitter, allow four runs in the bottom of the ninth to lose to the Orioles, 4-3.
The Dodgers have lost five straight and 7 of 8.
They are 22-32 since July 4. Only the Rockies and Nationals have worse records in that span.

It’s childhood cancer month. If you have the means, throw a few bucks towards cancer research. I stand with my 8-year-old warrior who’s battling B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Cancer sucks and no child should have to deal with this bullshit.

It was a tough loss for the Padres. I enjoyed watching this season as much as any time I’ve been a fan. It's been a great year; it ended sooner than we all wanted.

Happy for Bruce Bochy and Corey Saeger - who now has won a real World Series championship.

For the record, I am not at Parkview Field watching the @TinCaps - so I cannot be blamed for the oncoming rain delay!

This game is killing East Coast Padres fans who have to work tomorrow, but in a good way.

Hopefully, @MiserableSDFan & @thestevenwoods put down their KC BBQ long enough for at least a cursory clap for Wil.

A friend of @CoreyAStewart & mine said the best way to welcome Esteury to the big leagues - Dominican style wings. Not that he wants any credit for it.

Enjoying the @DSmithShow
with @MartyCaswell & @JonathanRifkind. One of the regular hosts is missing, but somehow Wally Pipp seems relevant today. images.app.goo.gl/CCDTVEtWTK…

Padres “bust” MacKenzie Gore just struck out JT Realmuto and somewhere a little bit of @DavePalet died.

The other day @CoreyAStewart & I were chatting about how to get Voit out of slump. When I asked Corey what the Padres should do, he simply replied, “Wings”.

Listening to the @davejeffpodcast - Gore pitched FIVE seasons in the minors - and that’s if you include one start in El Paso this season. Attn: @jeffdotseth, please get out your leash for @DavePalet baseball-reference.com/regis…

BTW - the Dodgers top pick that year, CF Jeren Kendall - taken in the first round out of Vanderbilt is in Double- A Tulsa at 26 & is a career .219 hitter. baseball-reference.com/regis…
