MeridithC @mjcoad.bsky.social · 26/09/2026One Padres win in this last series will put both the Cubs and Phillies out of reach of the top spot and home field. We lose the top seed only if we get swept. If Philly wins the last two and Cubs win the last one, we’re still in the top spot as long as we win at least one. 020

MeridithC @mjcoad.bsky.social · 24/08/2026We were at the Padres game and noticed the score, just on the scoreboard ticker, right before baseball chaos ensued. Could not wrap our minds around what could have happened to absolutely upend the result. As a fan, this is one of those games that I think is a “where were you when” sort of thing. 100
