Rarely am I referred to as an optimist, so go with the consensus and call me mad. The Padres meet for the first time this weekend at their Peoria, Ariz., spring training digs, and I believe they're going to be better than the cheap Bull Durhams everybody's cracking them up to be.

Two words help explain it. Well, make it four: Jake Peavy, Chris Young.

This article was a shock to me

I figured Canepa would write about the Padres soon, but I figured he’d put on his curmudgeon hat and write a boring article about how they stunk last year and will continue their stinking this year. Plus some metaphors and vocabulary.

This is a shock to me. It’s still pretty boring though. Nice work Nick.

I agree with Nick

I can see a bunch of young talent and good role players giving us a chance to contend.

Brady Hoke, Al Borges, and Rocky Long. Aztec football is back!
