The San Diego Padres have completed a grand slam of grand slams.
Eric Hosmer's home run with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth inning Thursday against the Texas Rangers marked the Padres' fourth consecutive game with a grand slam breaking the major league record they shared with the 1895 Cleveland Spiders and three other teams.

A truncated regular season, but a delightfully expanded post season playoff

There's something about Tatis and grand slam records, but there's one record Jr. will not break

They'd be sitting in first place if the juggernaut Dodgers would just start dropping games.

They were never my team, I'll try not to be negative but I've been here since 85

The Padres really, really want the Giants to snag a wild card ticket because the Giants seem to be the only team that can consistently beat the Dodgers.
I haven't crunched the numbers today, but a week ago, 44.66% of the Dodgers losses were to the SF Giants.

Ok, I can tell now you are way deep into this, so I'll honor my promise and just say, break a bat

(63,307 posts)2. never ever thought I would hear the "Cleveland Spiders" and "record"
mentioned in the same sentence. Well except for ineptitude.
You should get some points for getting the Cleveland Spiders a mention.

Former St. Louis Cardinal Fernando Tatis Sr. is the only Major League player to hit two grand slams in the same inning. He accomplished the feat against the host Los Angeles Dodgers on April 23, 1999 and both came off pitcher Chan Ho Park.
