It doesn’t get much better than that. We went out to dinner after the Chargers beat the Raiders in Oakland (Michael Vick? Yeah, he’s good; but so are LaDainian Tomlinson and Drew Brees, thank you very much) and didn’t get back till the third inning. By then, the score was 7-5 Angels and both starters [...]

Running Commentary on Game 1 of the 2002 World Series
Don’t worry, I’m not planning to make a habit of this. But it is the first game of the World Series and I just can’t help myself. Yep, a running commentary of the game. Band practice canceled. Drummer’s kid came down with the flu. So here I am with the laptop, ready to watch Game [...]
Looking Back at Preseason Projections
Okay, ducksnorts.com is back in effect, so you can forget about all those other nasty URLs I gave you. Once again, your patience is appreciated. Game 1 of the World Series tonight. Woo-hoo! And I’ll be at band practice, trying to figure out how to play Rick James’ “Superfreak” without keyboards. Sigh. But I’ll tape [...]
Changing Hosts
Holy smokes, I had no idea there were so many of you out there! One of the things I can do with my new hosting company is look at server logs. Now that I’ve done that, well, I feel a bit like Wile E. Coyote running off the edge of a cliff and looking down. [...]
Server Move Has Begun
Just a quick administrative update. The server move has begun. I hope to have everything completed by the end of the weekend. Once again, I don’t expect the site to experience significant downtime. But if for whatever reason you can’t find us, I’ve mirrored this blog at http://members.cts.com/king/g/gyoung/ducksnorts/weblog/; that URL will be good through the [...]
Fried Twinkies, Arizona Fall League, and Servers
In the “Disgusting-But-I-Just-Might-Have-To-Try-It” department, we have fried Twinkies. Yikes… Blogging is kind of like a virus that just keeps on spreading. I ran a Google search on Ducksnorts, and here are some sites that link to me: Hoo Boy! Cleveland Indians Report Detroit Tigers Weblog America’s Pastime Casa de los Padres People’s Republic of Seabrook [...]
Searching for Ambiorix
No baseball coverage today. You know what’s going on in the playoffs. You know that there’s been a shakeup in the Padres’ coaching staff (congrats to Alan Trammell, BTW, on being named manager of the Tigers). So we won’t be talking about any of that today. Instead we’re going to embark upon something I like [...]
2002 Playoffs: Twins vs A’s
Wow. That Twins-A’s game yesterday was about as good as it gets. I actually managed to watch the entire game virtually uninterrupted (except for a brief spot in the top of the fourth when Fox Family Channel disappeared for about two minutes). I’ll make a few quick observations, as someone who doesn’t follow either team [...]
Brenly, Jeter, and Me
Bob Brenly… Derek Jeter… Me. Three guys who will be watching the rest of the playoffs on television. How sweet is that? I’m pulling for Minnesota, just so we can all send Bud a “contract this” letter, but really I’ll be happy whoever wins now. Speaking of the Twins, how about that fourth inning yesterday? [...]
