Storm Retire Peavy’s Number

After watching the Padres defeat Houston at Petco on Thursday afternoon (thanks to reader Lance for hooking us up with tickets), Mrs. Ducksnorts and I drove to Lake Elsinore to see the Storm’s opener for 2008. Before the game, the Storm retired Jake Peavy’s number 22. Peavy was presented with a key to the city; [...]

Everywhere but Here

I’m all over the place today: How to Quit Your Job and Write a Book (Or Two) (BallHype). I posted this in the comments on Wednesday, but here’s a little “behind-the-scenes” look at the process of writing the Ducksnorts Baseball Annuals. Arizona Dreaming (Baseball Digest Daily). In spring training, what happens before the game is [...]

Q&A with MadFriars.com, Part 2

Today we continue our chat with Denis Savage and John Conniff from MadFriars.com about their Padres prospect rankings for 2008.

Ducksnorts: Kyle Blanks is a personal favorite [...]

Randy Wolf Signing First up, the Padres are about to sign left-hander Randy Wolf, who pitched for the [...]

Will Venable, playing right field and batting eighth, doubled and homered in four at-bats. Jonathan Ellis worked [...]

Weekend Winter Wrapup (5 Nov 07)

I tried to watch some of the USD – Long Beach State game on Sunday at Cunningham Stadium, but it was brutal. These kids haven’t been playing for some time, and it showed. I’ve never seen so many walks and wild pitches. To the winter leagues… Friday, November 2 Saguaros 11, Javelinas 5 (box | [...]

Friday Links (26 Oct 07)

I’m terrible at faking enthusiasm. This World Series means nothing to me. I’d just as soon not see Tom Werner win another championship, but I don’t even care much about that anymore. Does this make me a bad baseball fan? I dunno. Maybe… Nevin: Poway looks like ‘Mars’ (San Diego Union-Tribune). Several Padres (and Chargers) [...]

Guys You Wish You’d Forgotten Were Padres

We’re still safe here; hope you are, too. If you’re looking for info on the fires, ways to help, etc., check this thread.
