Diamondbacks outfielder Jon Jay had a rough, frustrating time Friday night. Twice he reached up at the outfield wall to make a play on a shallow dinger, and both times Padres fans beat him to the ball. All Jay came down with, in the end, were a few droplets of spilled beer, and disappointment....

Teen At Padres Game Embarrassed By Delighted Red Dad And His Dancing Lady Companion
Parents love to embarrass their kids in public. I think it’s the parental way of avenging all those the times when the kids worried them sick by missing curfew or something. Anyhow, at the Padres game on Monday night, this kid’s dad and mom (stepmom? Older sister? Teacher???) were relentless. ...
