Hey - Any Padre fans out there? I am interested to see what your thoughts are on this year's team. I think they are going to go through some growing pains with the young pitchers they have, but are definitely moving in the right direction. The young nucleus of Nevin, Klesko, Burroughs etc, make for exciting prospects. If they can just field and throw, they may surprise.

Well I wouldn't call Klesko young...chubby, not young, hee hee.

anyway, yeah they seem to have a good platform from which to start. their manager is also top shelf. now if they can just get that idiot san diegan to stop suing them, they'll be fine. they seem to always get up to play us (AZ Diamondbacks). I personally can't stand them. But, hey that must mean they play us tough.

btw, don't Bochy and Brenly both look like late 70's porn actors?

Hey Wildcat -

Thanks for your input. I think we were just giving you some of what you gave us last week. It is becoming a great rivalry real quick, as I don't like you guys either... If we can just beat Johnson or Schilling. Too bad they can't pitch every other day for you. Looks like that guy has been shut down as the ball park has resumed being built.

70's porn stars, huh? I guess with the hair and moustache, yeah I can see that. Too funny.

BTW - I was just in Phoenix this weekend playing in the Gay Softball tournament there. Did you play? I had a great time.

Johnson and Schilling: 4-0

Non-Johnson and Schilling: 0-4

Boob Brenly and Bruce Bochy are hot daddies!

As I said before, too bad they can't pitch every third day. The D-back would surely break the Mariner's record from last year.

Sportyboy,

Yeah, it's becoming quite a rivalry. Especially if ya'll can get good and/or beat us regularly.

The Padres will be THE team in a few years or so, i think, because they are young now and will mature together...but from my point of view, I hope not! Oh, well. At least we've won a world title (just had to rub that in, sorry

Actually, I'm not involved in any gay sports. Would like to though. I'm from Phx and living in Tucson now, where at in Phx was the tournament?

Hey No problem Wildcat -

You got props on every team, especially the hated Yankees. It's how I feel about the Lakers. We've got bragging rights until someone takes it away.

I think that you are right. We should be ready to contend when our new park is built in 2004. It'll be cool to watch.

We played at Suguaro Park off of McDowell and 67th. Nice fields. I always have a great time there. All the guys are so friendly. Don't suppose you get much time, being in law school.(saw it in your profile)
