Hello? Is this thing on? Welcome to our first IGD of the spring. Someone say something, please. Don’t make me sit here and talk to myself…
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.

It must be too early for all of your west coast readers, but it’s almost noon in Oklahoma.
I’m looking forward to reading that book. Unfortunately, school is kicking my ass, and I probably won’t be able to start reading until the summer, but I’m picking up a couple of copies (one for my brother) as soon as it’s published.
Keep up the good work Geoff!

Hey great job and here in Houston I read it several times a day, just to make sure I dont miss anything.
As for me, I would love to see more on the actual projected lineups, the pitchers, the final 25 man, etc. Lots of conversation on some of the ohter sites but most is emotional drivel. lol
Friar John’s site sometimes has the ‘game notes’ and that is really interesting.

Howdy, Geoff. Nice to have iGDs up and running again, and hey look, it’s Steve Finley.
March 10, 2007 at 12:12 pm
Hey, Stu. Yeah, I didn’t realize that both Finley and Herges are trying to become the first to play for all five NL West teams.

Those caps are for spring training only, right?

Another day, another homer for Sledge. Wow.
March 10, 2007 at 12:14 pm
Wow, I was just thinking that Sledge might go deep again. I’d say he wants that LF job.

Good afternoon, guys! Just have time to catch our starters play and doing some posting. The SledgeHammer Cometh!
March 10, 2007 at 12:17 pm
Wow. Nice bloop by Adrian!

Did the Rox even show up today? This is ugly.
March 10, 2007 at 12:34 pm
CY showing the nice slider again. Like to see more of that this year.
March 10, 2007 at 12:47 pm
For the record, I called that Bard homer. I didn’t post it, but my wife will vouch for me.
March 10, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Given what Matty is talking about right now, does anyone have any thoughts on how the rotation should be set?
March 10, 2007 at 1:43 pm
I didn’t catch the commentary but I think we have 2 veterans who won’t go deep into games and CY who has had trouble in that area as well. It might not be such a bad thing to go with a 12 man staff.

Khalil’s bomb got out in a hurry to dead left.
I’m off to Petco for the Tony Gwynn Classic. Pix tomorrow.

It’s a final … 11-3 … Rox had a split squad today, so indeed (re: #10), half of them didn’t even show up today

The players were a pair of pitchers (Sean Thompson, Erick Burke) and a pair of catchers (Nick Hundley, Justin Hatcher). Burke, Hundley and Hatcher were non-roster invitees
