A Girls Guide to San Diego Sports: Here come the Padres doing something again that requires reportage

Gee, a person could write a blog that entirely focuses on what's going on with The Padres if they wanted to because they are back in the news again.

Let's recap: No Fukudome, he's off to Chicago to freeze his butt off. Yes on Peavy, he's sticking around because they threw 50 million dollars at him (speculated) and under that kind of weight the man couldn't move. And now here comes Jim Edmonds, former St. Louis Cardinals Outfielder.

Apparently The San Diego Padres had been in talks with outfielder and free agent Mike Cameron, but those fell apart. They then worked a deal with the Cardinals trading Third Baseman David Freese for Edmonds. From Seattle PI:

The Post-Dispatch reports the trade is expected to be announced Saturday and that Edmonds hinted at a deal earlier this month when he agreed to eliminate his no-trade clause if he was dealt to a team from Southern California.

So maybe Fukudome could care less about all the wonderful things our Southern California city has to offer, but Edmonds knows what's important. We better get control of this weather before he shows up.

Lines for the sports bar tonight:

Looks like our outfield is more stabilized, what with the Edmonds trade.
I woulda gotten the heck out of St. Louis too!
Peavy, Peavy, Peavy!
