    Wow … nice pics … THANKS!

    I *LOVE* the pics that have the batted ball still over the green infield grass! Well done!

    There’s one pic that looks like the ball’s going straight back at the pitcher … tell me about that one?

    Also, tell me about the people along the OF wall during the pre-game ceremony?

    Look’d like the pre-game confetti was WILD!

    Thanks again!

    Yet another ‘05 Padre pitcher with health problems … BP is reporting this …

    Pedro Astacio is likely headed to the DL with what is being called a forearm strain.

    … whew, imagine if we’d try to stick with BLaw, Eaton & Astacio!

    Thanks, LM; glad you liked ‘em. I think the picture you’re asking about is Giles grounding to shortstop to end the first.

    The people along the outfield wall are members of the Navy who were supposed to hold a gigantic flag. Unfortunately, due to weather concerns they didn’t bring it out.

    Ah, I just experienced my favorite part of Opening Day … the Tuesday morning newspaper … with *REAL* box scores :-)
