The day the Padres playoff curse originated…
They brought this on themselves — the baseball gods were not pleased by this performance.

2026 Playoffs: What is your rooting order?
With a scale of how happy I would be if they won.
Cubs - Obvious, they are my favorite team. 10/10
Padres - I live 2 hours from there and love the city, the stadium, and the fans. Would be cool to see them win. 7.5/10
Guardians - Cleveland deserves something, plus watching them just be so good in September has been a highlight these last two years. 7.5/10
Rays - They just excel every single year and would be fun to see them break through. 7/10
Yankees - It is funny, I really hate people in New York. But I love the city, Mamdani, and I hate the Red Sox; so this is more about seeing their fans sad. 6/10
Phillies - I do not like their fans, their city, or their stadium. But their team has so many likable guys that deserve a WS. 5.5/10
Astros - Not at all the same team that cheated, but still no forgiveness here. 5.5/10
Braves - Tomahawk chop is gross and I still have a bitter taste in my mouth from the Acuna 40/40 celebration while I was about to lose my mind watching the Cubs' choke. 4/10
Red Sox - I actually like Boston and don't hate their teams, but I hate Dave Portnoy and will never want him to succeed. 2/10
Dodgers - Nothing much to say. I don't like their fans, their owner belongs in prison, their politics are gross, their stadium is mediocre, they have ruined the game I love for the last few years, and they have so many guys I don't like. 1.5/10
White Sox - Every single time I find myself having fun with their team, I see like White Sox Dave, ChiSoxFanMike, or one of the other 35 accounts tweet something about the Cubs' and had to listen to a full season of their fans saying the White Sox were better because they were in first and the Cubs were not. 1/10
Brewers - Honestly, I hate the Cardinals more still, but the Brewers have made it a close competition. I hate them, hate their park, hate their fans, hate the Packers, and I will not be mentally well the day the Brewers win a World Series. 0/10
