MLB Poetry Previews: San Diego Padres

As part of our season preview, FanHouse asked bloggers from around the internet to write a poem previewing their team's upcoming season in a series entitled MLB Poetry Previews. It's like high school English class, except about baseball!

For today's poem, we remain in house and wonder: Will the Padres recover from their 2007 bust-out?

Nothing's more disappointing than missing a post-season chance
(Just ask the Yankees, who've become used to that song and dance)

The Padres were so close but the Rockies wound up on top
This year San Diego wants to put that to a stop

With Peavy, Hoffman, and Young their pitching is great
PETCO's a beast for batters so in the pitchers' hands lie their fate

Like the Giants their offense is weak
Kouz and A-Gon better step up lest they leave the team up a creek

If they can stay injury-free the division is theirs for the taking
I have a good feeling this is a division champ team in the making!
