Times are tough for San Diego fans:
- Jake Peavy has been on the trading block for months.
- Brian Giles might be next.
- A former Diamondbacks executive, Jeff Moorad, is positioning his ownership group to buy the Padres.
- Trevor Hoffman, Mr. Padre himself, may be wearing Dodger Blue next season.
And we're still weeks away from spring training!
What did the Padres faithful do to deserve such shoddy treatment at the hands of their division rivals? We may never know...but let's pour some salt in those wounds anyway and imagine what else could go wrong for them:
 |
1. Tony Gwynn moves to Denver, becomes coach of CU baseball team and special adviser to Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd. Bonus: Denver's thin air causes Tony's voice to finally drop! |
 |
2. To honor San Francisco's proud military tradition, the Giants start wearing camouflage jerseys. And they're such a hit the team immediately starts planning Alcatraz-inspired striped uniforms. |
 |
3. PETCO Park renamed FRONTLINE FLEA & TICK CONTROL Field. On the plus side, the Swinging Friar becomes blissfully itch-free. |
 |
4. Bud Black returns to the Angels as pitching coach; Jim Tracy hired as new manager. And if he's busy, I'm sure Davey Johnson's available! |
 |
5. The Padres sign Eric Gagne. Ouch. |
Knock on wood, Padres fans!

The Padres did nothing ... it's just a sad consequence of the Moores' divorce.
