- Aki will be the third Padres player playing in the World Baseball Classic. Aki for Japan, Peavy playing for the USA and Vinny Castilla playing for Mexico.
- Barry Bonds is getting excited about the WBC and is feeling better. I checked his website to see if he has written any notes in his journal recently. Nothing new since October but I noticed that he does have a picture of himself signing an autograph for a little kid Padres fan at Petco.

- A heart warming story of all the good guys on the Padres going to visit little kids in the hospital.
