So after a LONG and crazy off season, spring training has started once again. Although the Padres are not expected to do much I am still stoked that Baseball is back. Some thoughts about this off season/upcoming season:
I SUPPORT:
- Peavy is still a Padre. Def cool as shit. I told many people that I'll believe it when I see it in regards to him being traded. Him and CY can potentially dangerous this season.
- Ken Griffey Jr being on the M's again, how can you not support this! I predict a 30 homerun season, knock in 85 RBIs, and a .280 average with a decent OB%. I also see him coming back the following season to play in Seattle again.
- New ownership beginning to take place in San Diego. Sandy Alderson making plans to leave also. Good Riddance mother fucker.
- Padres taking a chance on Prior again, I have faith that he can contribute still.
- Padres getting rid of Matt Bush... Good bye loser.
- Another season of the Gonzalez brother in SD. So rad.
- SD Signing Eckstein and Floyd. This can not hurt the team whatsoever. I believe SD has a great balance of veteran leaders and youth right now to lay the foundation for a team that can surprise some people. Re-signing Hairston and Giles was a great idea also...although some may debate the $ spent on Giles. The dude is worth so much more than that due to his on base percentage alone. People need to stop bitching.
- The A's signing Holiday and Giambi is fully supported. Get Holiday out of the NL west and over to my fav AL team. The A's may def turn some heads this season.
- Even though he is on a rival team of the Pads, I am seriously exited to watch Lincecum this season. Watching dudes like him and Peavy gets me so stoked.
-Dontrelle Willis coming back from his terrible season last season, def one of my fav dudes in baseball. Last season was such a downer. Supposedly he is ready to roll and very healthy
DO NOT SUPPORT
- Trevor Hoffman leaving the Padres. I seriously almost cried. I still hold out hope that he will finish with SD. Towers said he would like it to happen also so who knows?
- A-ROD and steroids....weak. I actually wish the other 103 people on the list names would get leaked also. In any case once again baseball takes a black eye to this shit.
- All the media coverage on A-Rod and Manny everyday. Jesus Christ, I cant handle it anymore.
-John Smoltz leaving Atlanta to go to Boston. WTF?
- The Angels letting Garrett Anderson go. I understand why but still, what the fuck? I am not stoked to see him in a diff uniform (ecsp the Braves).
I can go on and on but hey, I will shut up.

i love your baseball entries. even more so because you are a Padres fan.
i'm not over the trevor hoffman thing either. i dont think any real fan is. he is a class act and i love that he straight up said he was not going to the Dodgers out of loyalty to the fans and then he bought a full page add in the sunday paper thanking the city and the fans for the last 16 years.
this season is going to be interesting. 'experts' are counting us out already and predicting over 100 losses. ya never know. they might just take the whole damn thing. :)
