Given the way the Padres have played over the last couple days, no one would have expected you to watch the game today. Even if you had watched it, any rational person would have turned it off before the ninth inning. But what happened at Petco Park this afternoon is the reason we still tune in to watch terrible teams play meaningless baseball in the middle of September. Watching a rookie on a September call-up hitting a goddamn two-out walkoff grand slam like it’s the last scene of a cheesy baseball movie is always going to be magical, no matter how miserable the context surrounding it might be.
