The Padres were supposed to have their final workout at Petco Park Wednesday afternoon, but Mother Nature had other plans. Rain washed away their practice, but definitely didn’t dampen their spirits for Opening Day. “Definitely excited,” said Blake Snell, who will be the Padres starting pitcher tomorrow. “Definitely an honor. Can't wait for tomorrow.” Snell knows Petco Park is going to be packed with excited fans. His message to them this season? “Keep trusting us. Keep sticking with us. This is definitely going to be a special year and we're going to do everything we can to make it that way. Keep up the positivity and the love because we feel it and we appreciate it.” The Padres almost made it to the World Series last season, but fell short to the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Championship series. Rather than resting on their laurels, the team brought in more big names this off-season, including Xander Bogaerts, Matt Carpenter, Nelson Cruz and Michael Wacha. Now fans are thinking World Series - something the team hasn't been a part of in more than 20 years.
