Gameday Thread, #131: 8/26 vs. Cubs

Lucha_tiny by Jim McLennan on in Gameday Threads

Jason Marquis (28, RHP, 10-7, 4.12)
Yusmeiro Petit (22, RHP, 2-4, 5.14)

BaseballReference.com preview [opens in new window]

Just time to get this up before we scurry off to try and find somewhere to park. :-) However, I want to go on record as being responsible for the D-backs win today, as I've added Jason Marquis to my fantasy team. That should guarantee he sucks. :-) Padres are almost dead in the water as I write (down 14-1 to the Phillies!), so a win here would almost certainly put us back to three games ahead, which is how we entered the series. I'd settle for that, certainly. Let's just hope Petit, and more importantly, our offense, is up to the task.

Error by CoJack on throw to first advances Theriot to 2nd.  Without the error, possible double play with Jones batting next followed by Lee's popup out would have gotten Petit out of trouble.  Instead 2 errors for AZ and 3 runs for Chicago.  

When oh when will CY be moved down in the order.  Some of those solo HRs could be 2 and 3-run homers.

It could be that EdGon gives up so many runs because he knows he's often the sacrificial lamb, and doesn't put in the effort. In the same way that Death has an ERA over 5 when he comes into a game that's not a save situation, and an ERA less than 2 and a half in saves.

Doug Parker had a problem
with staying sober on his way home from the PHX Open this last January.  He was busted in a DUI roundup while traversing home with some pals in his car.  

He pled guilty and did his community service.  When you are a high profile CEO and there is infighting with your unions, your reputation takes a hit for being stupid, careless, and unsafe driving under the influence.

What bugs me about Airbus....
And I don't want to cause a US-Europe rift here, but it bugs me that Airbus never has to pay for its faults and failures since it's continually receiving subsidies. Anyone remember 15 years ago when Boeing was contemplating leaving the airliner business? They had to claw their way back.

To be fair, Airbus was very gracious and congratulatory when Boeing rolled out the 787. (As was Boeing, when Airbus rolled out the A380)

To wit:

'Technically...

Cubs fans are no more a "guest" in Arizona's park than D-Backs fans are.  Both parties (presumably) paid for their tickets, and have equal rights in the stadium, in my opinion.  It's not your house, so the analogy with you and Al is pretty much irrelevant.'

Cubs/Cubs fans are douchebags.

Come on, Sandy Baby, loosen up. You're too tight.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 26, 2007 8:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

That's pretty faulty logic on their part
as no one is saying that visiting fans aren't welcome, just you can't expect everyone to roll over or not react.  

The psychology of sports fandom is that fans feel apart of the organization even though they take no part of it.  Fan feel better about themselves when the team wins and worse when the team loses, and this extends to the venue.  

Also, the venue is owned by the state, but it is NOT a public venue.  You can't just walk in to Chase on a game day, and since it is owned by the Maricopa Sports Authority and leased to the D'backs (effectively the Diamondback's home), by proxy it is the home of the D'backs' fans, not one and all.

But they're just bitter about dropping two to us in their "home" ballpark, and their (real) home ballpark, so I'm not going to worry about them after this unless we see them in the playoffs. ;-)

Yeah. They also really hate playing in Phoenix:
'Chase Field =

Astrodome. One house of horror replaces another.
New bad memories for a new generation.

Valverde has a horrible outing, still get a save. That's when things are really going your way.
He was well out of his game....Lou had a good idea, but with 2 strikes, I think it was time to take the movement off -- the earlier attempts were -- successful, in the fact that the basepath movement seemed to really fluster Valverde. His body language was awful. (Perhaps he's just not used to baserunners anymore) It did seem that Kendall didn't swing at a ball -- just a bad break for the Cubs, good break for a team whose fans were in slumber-land most of the game.
