...their then NL-West division, before making their turnaround in ’91. Perhaps the “aughts” are the ’80s for the Padres and they’ll be turning the ship around in the teens. They certainly have the young talent to do that. Guys like Adrian Gonzalez, Kevin Kouzmanoff, and Chase Headley provide some pop in the lineup, assuming the Padres can hold onto them. Tony Gwynn, Jr. sure is a chip off the old block, maintaining a formidable average, but only boasting one homerun. The pitching needs a boost...

He's married to a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader, and he's got four young children. He's only 5 ft. 9 in. and 160 lb., with a sweet-faced earnestness that...
...many, this latest judgment has come too late, and Scheungraber's trial has sparked debate in Germany over why prosecutors took so long to press charges. But most Germans are relieved that the pensioner has finally been called to account for the crimes he committed while he was a young soldier. The ruling has symbolic significance in Germany, which feels a collective sense of moral responsibility toward victims of Nazi massacres.
