The Daily Sweat: After a splashy offseason, the Padres really might miss the playoffs

Unless you were up way past your bedtime, you didn't see that the San Diego Padres lost again. But you could have guessed.

Wednesday night's loss was the toughest yet. San Diego lost a lead in the eighth inning, then failed to score a run in six of seven extra innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers somehow won 5-3 in 16 innings.

And with that the Padres, who loaded up in the offseason to make a run at the Dodgers, are a game back in the wild-card race. They're 2-11 in their last 13 games.
