Much is unknown at this point, but it doesn’t sound good. Meanwhile, Colt Morton will come up from [...]

by Geoff Young on Apr 04, 2008 (11) Comments

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.

by Geoff Young on Nov 08, 1999 (1) Comments

After fighting through some nasty traffic to get out of San Diego, my wife and I arrived at the Lake Elsinore Diamond in the 2nd inning of the season finale. This game was everything that my first California Fall League experience wasn’t: well played, well attended, and, well — more like an actual baseball game. [...]
