It's All Just a Bad Dream

We've been asked why we haven't written anything on the Jake Peavy trade.
And our response is: what Jake Peavy trade?
We refuse to believe it's true.
We refuse to believe that Padres general manager Kevin Towers, who answers to the colorful nickname "KT," would actually pull the trigger on such a trade. KT couldn't be that stupid, could he? Trading a Cy Young Award winner who's still two years shy of his 30th birthday? Nah, even the Padres can't be this dumb.
It has to be just a bad dream.
We've made our fondness for Peavy well known here the last few years, so this is not something we can come to terms with very easily.
So, until we see Peavy pitching in a different uniform, we'll be clinging to the notion that it's just one horrible nightmare.
