I hope you had an excellent New Year’s celebration. We managed to stay awake, which is a victory of sorts around here. Anyway, I’m one of those annoying people who sit down and write a list of things to do in the coming year. I don’t call them resolutions, because that term implies a finality [...]

NLDS: Padres – Cardinals Series Preview, Pitchers
For just the second time in club history (1984 World Series being the first), the San Diego Padres have home field advantage in a post-season series. In a rematch of the 2005 National League Division Series matchup, the Pads take on the St. Louis Cardinals. This year’s version of the Padres would appear better equipped [...]
Till It Hurts, Kiddo
Reliever Cla Meredith was supposed to get Tuesday night off. Didn’t happen. Then he was supposed to get Wednesday night off. Didn’t happen. I can live with the loss. I can even live with Albert Pujols and his ridiculous pose after the home run. It’s cause for celebration when your team avoids getting swept at [...]
Wednesday Morning Notes
Just a few bullet points today. As always, feel free to add anything I may have missed: Peter Friberg breaks down Albert Pujols’ at-bat against Cla Meredith in Monday night’s game. I’m in total agreement here; you just don’t see Pujols take swings like the one he took on that 2-2 pitch. Meredith had some [...]

As the fortune cookie from last night’s Chinese dinner informed me, “Winning starts with beginning.” I don’t really understand it either, but it seems vaguely applicable to the situation and I doubt I’ll get another chance to [...]
New Gig
Okay, the other day I mentioned that I’d accepted a new writing gig. Today I’m happy to announce that I have officially started blogging at Knuckle Curve. This is exciting to me on many levels. First, over the years, Ducksnorts has evolved from a general baseball blog to one that is (proudly) focused on the [...]
Cla Meredith, Superhero
Projects wrapping up at work today, so this will be brief. Rough weekend for the Padres, but it was nice to see them finish strong on Sunday in front of a national audience that is still trying to figure out whether Ryan Howard plays for the Pads or the Giants. Right-hander Cla Meredith, as is [...]
Friday Links (8 Sep 06)
I kind of got carried away this morning. Scary thing is, I haven’t even had my first cup of coffee yet. Enjoy… It’s Down To This … (Hardball Times). John Brattain examines the NL West Wild Card race and likes the Padres’ chances, offering this nugget: “If the bats suddenly become hot they’ll have a [...]
