Don’t get too excited, it’s just workouts. Closed to the public. Oh okay, go ahead and get excited. It’s still pretty cool. Baseball is just around the corner.

• Padres hold first workout in new park (U-T)
• Padres get first crack at Petco Park (AZ Central)
• Petco Park gets first use Wednesday (NC Times)

Not much else going on right now, so I’ll leave you with this nugget:

• Churchill’s parrot gets the bird (BBC)

Enjoy!
