"It's like a nightmare, isn't it? It just keeps getting worse and worse."

You know that part in The Color of Money when Tom Cruise's character, Vincent Lauria, loses to veteran hustler Grady Seasons (played by real-life pool star Kevin McReady), and as Grady sinks shot after shot, he says to Vincent, "It's like a nightmare, isn't it? It just keeps getting worse and worse."

Of course you do. It's one of the great "hate-the-bad-guy" scenes in film history.

The Padres 10-game losing streak is the baseball equivalent of Grady Seasons running the table as Vincent sat on the side watching it happen, powerless to stop it.

All we can hope for at this point is that the Padres can pull off a trick shot and turn the tables on this losing streak. Like Vincent did to Grady.

Tonight against the Dodgers, Latos is Vincent. And his hair is perfect.
