Here we are in the middle of August. First place still. Blah blah blah. I'm not sure what it's going to take to get you up into the 9s and 10s at this point. I should have gotten this poll up yesterday so if the College Boy Karsten incident shook your faith, then pretend that it hasn't happened yet and see how confident you are.

JBox was so confident that he flew out to Chicago. I wonder if he's wearing Padres gear. If there's one person who would rather avoid confrontation it's JBox, but I'm guessing he's feeling so confident these days that he's just itching for a fight.

Also, I totes just got an iPhone 4. It's so amaze. It makes me realize how bad the mobile version of our site is though. That's gotta be fixed some how.

As an exercise, see if you can predict how you're going to vote before you actually vote it. If you can actually come through with your prediction then the power of positive thinking is stronger with you than it is with Jonathan Sanchez.

The rules are simple. On a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being no confidence at all, 10 being absolute confidence, How confident are you in the San Diego Padres organization?

"Confidence" is just about anything you want to interpret it as. The front office, the future prospects, the play on the field, the park, etc etc etc
