Thanks, all, for the kind words.

#2@gg: On the bright side, this front office features some of the brightest minds in baseball. As long as that continues to be the case, I like our long-term chances.

#3@LynchMob: Lohse? Yuck. Oh well, at least he’s cheaper than Barry Zito.

#6@JP: Thanks for your contributions. I’m glad you’re enjoying the new commenting system.

#17@Jack from Boston: Thanks for being a part of the community here. Not that Matt needs any extra motivation, but I’ve found in life that sometimes these small setbacks cause me to rededicate myself and turn out to be a harbinger of greater things. I look forward to seeing what Matt does in 2008 and beyond. Best of luck!

Thanks for everything, Geoff. I don't post much but I regularly visit your site and appreciate your insight and the discussions that go on in the comments section. The new Knight Rider is pretty awful, haha.

I'm relieved that this season is over and optimistic about the future. I can't wait to see the moves and changes over the winter. Thanks for the site, Geoff.

Thanks for hosting again this year, Geoff. Although it was a difficult season, I’m already beginning to look forward to spring training again.

I’m hoping that the Peavy trade rumors are just idle speculation. We’d have to get pretty blown away IMO.

I’m all about Grant Green as well. I think that there’s even a decent chance that he falls to us at 3.

I know Padre nation was disappointed in Matt's play this year. He will be working hard this winter to get his swing back. I'm a little surprised how after one subpar summer Matt has fallen off some people's radar screen. Padre Nation will be happy with Matt next spring. Hope everyone has a great off season.

BTW, that PTBNL from the Dodgers?

Yeah, they are in. What do you think?

A second rounder LHP? Pretty good haul.

The Ft Wayne Wizards have changed their name … to the Ft Wayne TinCaps (a reference to the beloved pioneer Johnny Appleseed, who was known for wearing his tin cooking pot upon his head) …

… and after reading that article, I gotta believe that the club gave “serious” consideration to changing their name to the “Hoosier Daddies”

And the Dodgers are smashing the Cubbies fans’ dreams of ending the WS drought. Wow. I’m amazed.

See, Padres’ fans. The playoff is a roll of dice.
