| San Diego Out of Time, Out of Playoffs Saturday, September 11th, 1999 There might have been some flickers of hopes of a playoff berth at some point during the season, but those flickers have been snuffed out. The San Diego Padres were officially eliminated from playoff contention today.
San Diego last appeared in the postseason in 1997. This is their 2nd consecutive year missing the playoffs, and in total they have not advanced past the regular season 6 times in their 19-year history. In the last 10 seasons, the Padres have missed the playoffs 4 times. | | |
