first pitch: 7:05 p.m. PT television: Channel 4SD matchup: Jake Peavy (3-0, 1.67 ERA) vs John Patterson (0-4, 7.71 ERA) previews: Padres.com | SI.com Reasons to Be Positive The Nationals are in town. Jake Peavy is on the mound. Regardless the outcome of Monday night's game, the Pads will have a better April record than they had in 2005 (11-13) or 2006 (9-15), when they won the NL West. Reasons to Be Negative Plenty, but I'm tired of whining about them and it doesn't really help. These guys are better than they've shown. They just need to get off their butts and prove it. Go Padres!
