JBox is in Chicago so I'm going to do something I haven't done in a long time. I'm going to load my gun. I'm going to fire some motherf_cking bullets. Every time I think I'm out... they... pull me... back... IN. Italics are mine and the bullets are invisible. Everything is after the jump.
Padres confident about signing Whitson | padres.com: News
"As for Whitson, he was in San Diego two weeks ago for a customary visit the Padres have with their top picks. He also took a physical."

"Three and a half is the number by which the Padres again lead the Giants, whose fans clearly bought into Sanchez’s rallying cry that the Padres would be swept over the weekend and be bounced out of division leadership for good." This is what you get for believing in a false soothsayer.
Denny's
