PADRES CAMOUFLAGE UNIFORMS
These things have to go. They are the ugliest jerseys in the history of baseball. How can they wear those? This is the fifth season they've been wearing them and I seriously think they get worse every time I see them. On all the days to wear them, how could they wear them on Jackie Robinson Day? I mean how could they wear them on the day they were playing a Major League Baseball game, but especially today.

The worst part about these camouflage uniforms is that the San Diego players keep disappearing. The camouflage is really doing the trick. Alex Cora hit a double to right and I thought that it was going to be an in-the-park-homerun because I didn't see Brian Giles in rightfield at first. Then I noticed shoes and a glove moving after the ball, then I really focused and saw Giles. Doesn't this give the Padres an unfair advantage? Paul Lo Duca has enough problems throwing out runners, now he has to deal with runners that aren't visible to the naked eye? That's not fair.
