It’s Opening Day, Baby!
Tuesday, April 3, 2007by Geoff Young
I really wanted to prepare a cool little preview of the opening series, but I'm too excited to think straight. The Padres kick off their NL West title defense this afternoon in San Francisco against former manager Bruce Bochy (who still got front-page billing in the U-T on a day when the big news item was Adrian Gonzalez' contract extension) and the Giants. The game starts at 1:35 p.m., PT; we'll have the IGD up and running about an hour before then.
Meanwhile, congratulations to reader Jay Mars, who has won our Guess the Padres' 2007 Opening Day Roster contest. Jay correctly picked 23 of the 25 guys on the Opening Day ...
