We drove to Vegas on Thursday afternoon. Neko Case, Silverchair, Interpol, and Thievery Corporation accompanied us on our journey. Not literally, of course; our car isn’t that big. On Friday we rode the monorail all over the Strip, gawking at the utter freakishness that is Sin City. This place always makes me feel lonely, although [...]

Series Preview: Mac Thomason Talks Braves
The Padres continue their East Coast swing with three in Atlanta starting Tuesday evening.

How do you like the Braves’ chances? Thomason: [...]
Contest Winners
When I reviewed MLB08: The Show in mid-April, I also held a contest to give away several copies of the game.

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 [...]

Also, since we’ve been getting more new participants lately (thanks, and welcome to my home), this is a good time to remind folks to review and familiarize themselves with the policy. Here are the latest updates: I do [...]
