I’m not going to get all loud-mouthy with my “fan”-tastic optimism about the Padres season so far, because it usually bites me in the ass and they begin a downward spiral, but…

We finally got some good, young blood on this team!  If that doesn’t look good to you, go root for the Orioles or something.

On a personal note, I took a line drive to the wrist with these stupid dimpled “soft” wiffle balls (meaning softballs that perform like wiffle balls, but soft is NOT a literal description) in my game last night and my wrist currently resembles Barney- fat and purple.  I’m not sure why they decided to use these things this season other than to maim and bruise me.  2nd game in 2 weeks I’ve had to come out for an injury!  I did much better 2 nights ago- batted 1.000 including two shots right over the 3rd base bag.  I think I’ll start playing in full body armor though!
