Mad Props and English Muffins

Okay, no English muffins. I just wanted to formally thank a bunch of folks who helped make Ducksnorts happen this past season. If you feel you belong on this list and aren’t, I apologize for the oversight. Please assume you are there as well.
In no particular order:
- You, the readers and commenters (co-conspirators): Anthony, Brian G., Bruce, Didi, dprat, Eric, The Fathers, funkinjeff, Iced Coffee, Jay, LynchMob, Mark, Nick G., Pat.
- Bloggers/webmasters: Rich Campbell and Peter Friberg @ San Diego Spotlight; Kevin Brewer @ Padres Nation; Dex, jbox, and the rest of the crew at Gaslamp Ball; Richard B. Wade and Lance Richardson @ Friar Faithful; Jonathan @ PDXBeavers; Hank @ Hank’s Padres; Padre Mike @ Padretalk.
- Ed Barnes, Troy Johnson, and the SD Channel 4 Outta Left Field posse.
- Will Carroll for the interview.
- Brandon Rosage for having me on his radio show.
- Jeff @ Syntax of Things for being on my radio show and for stumbling around the Cal League again with me this year.
- Christian Ruzich and Evan Brunell for bringing Ducksnorts into the All-Baseball/MVN family.
- Medea’s Child for being an excellent lifelong friend and helping to get me hooked on fantasy baseball two decades ago.
- And last, but by no means least, my lovely wife, who put up with far more nonsense than she deserves.
Man, do my lips hurt. Anyway, if you’re not on the list and you feel you should be, assume I screwed up and forgot to put your name in there.
And this is not a goodbye of any kind. We’re just getting started here. Lots to cover during the off-season. Stay tuned…
Picking up where last year's version left off, the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual provides in-depth analysis of and commentary on the San Diego Padres. Get your copy today.

Wife should come first, Geoff!
(but as for me, I’m just happy to rate a mention)

Thanks to you for dragging me around the Cal League. Next year, we’re promoting ourselves to AAA.

Definitely a breakout season for Ducksnorts! Still the only Padres blog I check every day. This should be a busy off season, I’m looking forward to your coverage.

Wow, my blog was mentioned. I’m finally popular. I’ve wanted this since high school, well really middle school. I want to thank the acedemy and my mom….
Thank, Goff.

Hey Geoff,
I missed this one. Thanks for putting me on the list, very kind of you since I don’t really think of myself as much of a regular (not the way those who participate in the IGD’s anyway), but I do very regularly check the blog. You do a great job and this is a great crew here. I’m honored you mentioned me. Maybe next season I can meet some of y’all at the no pizza pizza feed.
