You must have missed how the series was being reported. The Padres were the "little brother" who always loses in the end.

Everyone (including this ~50 year Padres fan) expected big brother to dominate yet again.

It just seems preferable that if your team is unexpectedly knocked out, you would prefer the team who did so to go all the way, so it's still plausible that you were the second best team.
