Fernando Tatis Jr. is the latest Padre to curse himself after trolling Dodgers

Much to the delight of Dodgers fans, the Padres just keep finding ways to embarrass themselves in the postseason. This year, they went into the Wild Card round as the No. 5 seed against the Cubs, after never managing to take back or even tie the NL West with the Dodgers after Aug. 24, and lost in three games.

Last year, San Diego had LA on the ropes in the NLDS before going scoreless through their next 25 innings and allowing the Dodgers to come back and win the series. This year, they only scored five runs against the Cubs in three games, and they made fools of themselves after Game 3 by berating the umpiring crew after the game over a blown strike three call for Xander Bogaerts in the ninth, which stymied a rally.

The Padres have officially gone 57 seasons without a World Series championship.

Manny Machado, who went 1-for-10 at the plate throughout the series, made himself even more of a villain by berating a reporter for asking a totally innocent question after Game 3. Fernando Tatis Jr., who taunted Dodgers fans from the visiting dugout in Game 2 of last year's NLDS, went 1-for-12 and is 3-for-20 through his last five postseason games.

Common Dodgers enemy Fernando Tatis Jr. put up zero effort in Padres' Wild Card loss to Cubs

After all of the Padres' antics following their Wild Card loss, the rest of baseball is realizing what Dodgers fans already know: the Padres are an unlikeable crew who are all flash and no substance. Contrast them with the Mariners, another relatively young club who have yet to achieve their first World Series win. If NL fans had to chose an AL team to root for, it'd be the eminently lovable and scrappy guys in Seattle. No one outside of San Diego was rooting for the Padres.

San Diego's roster is chalk-full of massive, long-term contracts for guys who can't get the job done in October. Machado, Tatis, and Bogaerts are going to continue to be the players who make or break their postseason hopes, and they went a combined 6-for-36 at the plate in the Wild Card.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers enjoyed a clean sweep of the Reds in the Wild Card and a come-from-behind victory in Game 1 of the NLDS to give themselves the advantage over the Phillies.

But we hope that Tatis felt really good about himself after his antics last year, because he's had little reason to feel good since.
