Contest: Guess the Padres’ 2008 Opening Day Roster
Thursday, February 28, 2008by Geoff Young
In honor of the Padres' first Cactus League game (a charity event against the Mariners @ 12:05 p.m. PT, XM 180), and to celebrate the release of the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual, it's time for the second annual Ducksnorts "Guess the Padres' Opening Day Roster" contest. Here's how it works:

We even got a little scoreboard ...

If you can read this, it means we're back up and running. I had something planned for this morning, back before my database became corrupt, but it will have to wait. I've been troubleshooting stuff for, like, four hours and I need to eat.
The gist of what I was going to say earlier is this: Getting swept at the hands of the Mariners this weekend sucked, but it's hardly reason to panic. Seattle is a good team, and the Padres were in every one of those games. Yeah, they probably should have won two, maybe three of them. And if the Mariners were a lousy team, there's a real good chance the Padres would have.
Stuff happens. It's a long season. The sweep against the Dodgers ...
