Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Hey, didn't we play these guys last weekend, too? Understandable if you've forgotten, since they didn't exactly provide much of a challenge then. In Colorado's defense, they did sweep Atlanta, and actually managed to score more than four runs in the final game of the series! [You, at the back - stop laughing into your hand]. But even after the sweep, half the regular Orckies lineup is batting .231 or worse.
Got to feel good about this one, having smacked about Francis in our first encounter with him, and also with Brandon Webb on the mound. Webb laid the myth to rest last time out that he couldn't beat Colorado, and we'll be looking to him as a major component in helping extend our winning streak further. Be nice to see Chris Young settle back down after a tough couple of games against the Dodgers, going 1-for-11 with six strikeouts on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Interesting fact for the day. Orlando Hudson has started his season off by managing 41 plate-appearances this year without striking out, most in the majors. His overall streak, including two games last year, is now 50 plate-appearances and eleven games. Still got someway to go, to catch up with record holder Joe Sewell, who avoided fanning in 115 consecutive games in 1929, or even Ichiro's modern mark, from 1997, of 216 K-less at-bats in a row.
Minor note. Attendance for first three home games this year: 101,361. First three home games [also a Mon-Wed] last year: 82.562, so we're about 22% up. Obviously, a bit of a difference in opponents, between the Reds (2007) and the Dodgers (2008); however, we are playing the Rockies in the second home series of both seasons, over a weekend, so this'll be an interesting comparison. Total for the three games last year was just below 70,000.
Not sure what we're doing tonight. Should be about for a good bit, but not sure how much commenting will be in order. I'm sure someone will start the overflow thread if necessary...

The Rockies? Again?
Seriously, between playing them 76 times in Spring Training (real number, not made up) and playing 18 of our first 25 games against them (again, not made up) I think I'm starting to get a little jaded about playing the Rockies.
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
This time
you guys will have the bloody lip (and a broken Webb).
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
I'm sorry
But I can't take anyone with the same name as the Giant Manatee seriously. He has officially ruined my relationship with everyone named "Russ" forever.
But still, whatever your name is. I think you can talk threateningly, but let's see how it goes in real life.
That's all you've got? No "We will, we will Rockies you"?
Well, it's still early in the season. I guess you're still working towards mid-season smack talk form. =)
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
Hopefully it's improved since the last time
the Rockheads tried to invade.
The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.
Gonna be gone most of tonight.
As things are still completely haywire at work, I'm doing interviews for job positions in the fall. Might be around off and on.
Lineup
1. Young, CF
2. Byrnes, LF
3. Hudson, 2B
4. Jackson, 1B
5. Reynolds, 3B
6. Upton, RF
7. Snyder, C
8. Drew, SS
9. Webb, P
Why mess with a good thing?
Brynes in the second spot seems to be better for him
not great, but at least he doesn't feel like he needs to go yard every time. Now if Chris Young would go back to just trying to get on base instead of trying to hit a Fatburger Home Run, we might be in business.

Byrnes has been doing a lot better since they moved him. I apologize to the Mad Scientist for my questioning of his mad methods.

2) Drink a couple brewskis
3) Wonder how Dominick Hasek is still playing and whether hockey is worth getting back into
4) Dessert?

Wow
sample size be damned. It's either sink or swim against Francis when it comes to slugging. Thanks for the legwork foulpole.
I just
wanted to stop by and say hi during the game thread on the off chance that Jim will list me as being in attendance in tomorrow wrap-up. Go Dbacks...go M's!

The Suns @ Rockets is is a pretty good game so far but the D-backs are due up in about 10 minutes. It's a tough time of year to be a fan of the AZ teams.
I read that as Suns @ Rockies
that would be hilarious to see.

Dbacks returning the favor
Since the dbacks are doing a 10 year anniversary celebration all weekend, it is kind of returning the favor no?
I mean, the Dbacks are celebrating 10 years total, 8 of those finishing either tied (1 time) or ahead (7 times) of the Rockies and winning the West 4 times to the Rockies none.
Its not quite as in your face as last weekends celebration, but in a way it is a slam.
....Yes I realize I am reaching, but the Dbacks have owned the Rockies for nearly a decade (except for those damn 4 games last October....haha)
I was wondering where it went.

I haven't heard anything and I am assuming there haven't been, but have the Dbacks and Hudson talked deal recently? I heard he wants Utley $$, I wonder if they will make a play or let him go.

Well, I LOVED the book
and the musical was a different beast. I firmly believe the Fiyero subplot was added merely so that the psudeo-lesbian relationship between Glinda and Elphaba could be toned down. So the story in the musical is a weaker, to be sure, and certainly less subtle, but the music is amazing. I'm a drummer, and it's the rare musical that impressed me and inspired me on the drumming. There's only really one bad song in the musical, which is rare now a days where so many musicals have passable to terrible music.

Makes sense.
I'm pretty much always in favor of the Giants losing, unless they're playing San Diego or LA. Then I generally want them to split the series, since it's unlikely that both teams will disappear into an alternate dimension, never to be seen again.

To me they are THE evil of the NL west
Sure, LA is always dangerous, but LA and Phoenix aren't really rivals except in basketball (or it's a very one sided rivalry) and San Diego has a good team but the city is likable, and San Fran is too far away. Colorado really is our regional rival, and I'm okay with disliking them intensely.
The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.
Now, I see them as the other underdog of the division. The California teams get plenty of coverage and respect from the media, but the D-backs and the Rockies still get slammed for any little thing.
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
And that's the way it should be.

I don't think
anyone is "cheering" for the Orckies, or advocating such a disgusting and unnatural act. :)
Just saying that there are degrees of dislike. For me, personally, the Orckies just aren't as repellent as some other teams. If you consider them the embodiment of all that is wrong and evil, that's OK too.
OK gang... baseball 101...
If any division rival is playing a team from another division then you want them to get their ass handed to them. You want a series sweep. Period.
If your division rival is playing another division rival, then you want the team that you feel is most threatening to loose the series 2-1.
who cares about the fans of the other team. They can eat shit. We need to win our division, period.

The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.
I'll just make one last point
before heading to snooze-land for the night.
You shouldn't interpret our saying "they're rather decent chaps" as meaning that the non-Orckie-despising contingent wants them to be successful. We're all Diamondback fans, and we want our team to triumph. It simply means that different people have different teams they find particularly unlikeable - and for various reasons the Orckies just aren't registering real high on metre for a lot of us. Skins or I might say 'hey, good luck tonight against Team X' to a passing Purple Rower... but we understand the dynamics of the season just as well as the "ultras", who would never ever fraternise with the adversary in such a fashion, and everyone involved understands that the wish is merely a polite formality. There's room enough for both approaches here - and believe me, when we get into Padre hunting season, I'll be looking for tonsured scalps too.
EXTERMINATE

Er, um. Ahem. I don't think either foulpole or I are doubting your allegiance to the Diamondbacks (though I certainly rib a little) but it's different strokes for different folks.

"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
I guess my reasoning
if I can dignify it with such a term, is two-part :
- first, I rather like having one team in the division that I regard merely with gentle loathing, rather than a fiery passionate hatred. (Well, there's not much passion about SF at the moment, just pity and contempt.)
- second, the Orckies' fans round these parts mostly aren't jerks, unlike certain others. And I hate being the one to initiate jerkiness.

I like him as a person,
but I can NEVER forgive him for stealing the ROTY from Brandon Webb -- who, everyone admitted, had much better numbers. D-Train just had a funky pitching form and talked to the media.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Agreed. It's also a symptom of the whole "wins mean everything" syndrome. Wins were the only category "D-Train" beat Webby at, and that was apparently what voters cared about.
I also resent him for stealing the nickname D-Train. I totally could have used that, but no, now it's his. Whatever.
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
Not quite.
He beat Webby in the "talking to the media and being charismatic" category, and that's what sealed the deal.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Jokes on him
now that Webb has a Cy Young, winning team, and a bright future.
The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.
And an ERA less than 5.
Let's see how the Tigers bounce back, though, before we demean him TOO much.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Since
Webby's never been a big talker.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Yup,
it was '03 for both of 'em.
Webby, however, has grown up and become a good pitcher. D-Train's still a novelty. He might do alright while the AL sees him for the first time, but it's unlikely they'll be so fooled once they learn to spot the ball's release.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Livo gave us a lot of Quality Starts when he was here. While I wouldn't say that he was an ace, he certainly did a good job in the roll that he played for us. He ate innings, saved the pen, played solid D, hit the ball well and was a part of a NL West title.
Not too bad.
He proved to us
that not ALL fat pitchers totally suck.
Some just kinda suck.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
I really liked Livo, so I'm glad to see him do well in Minnesota. Like you said, he wasn't an ace by any means, but he did what we needed from him and pitched a lot of innings.
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."

And I'll still be at Chase Field!
The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.
Are all the repeat comments a hiccup
or a joke? I did my attending Chase Field twice a joke, but is the thread getting overloaded?

Yah, it's really slow right now.
I would make an overflow thread, but it seems kinda silly, seeing as how the game's long over and stuff.
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Yeah! Boo!
Diamondbacks win and Suns lose. I got so disgusted with the Suns that I flipped over to watch Webb and the boys kicks some CO tail. While it would have been nice not to lose out on the division title to the Lakers (gag), they are in the playoffs and that's what counts.
I checked the schedules of all the other NL West teams and the closest stretch of consecutive games any of them plays against the division is 15 games. If the D'backs continue their winning ways during this 22 game stretch, it could go a long way toward their winning the division again, so go D'backs!!! I love that Brandon Webb is 3-0 to start the year and even better that 2 of those wins are against CO!
This month
definately sets the tone for the season as far as the division is concerned.

Anyone think....

A few post-game comments
Went out and enjoyed a AAA game this evening so couldn't join live. Just finished watching, a few comments:
1) The Diamondbacks are on Fire
2) Brandon Webb is the MAN
3) D-back pitching basically owns Tulo
4) Byrnes is consistently putting together good ABs
5) This team is an absolute JOY to watch right now
6) I'm extremely mad I can't watch this supposed "National" telecast tomorrow... yea, I'm a little bit bitter. Fox, you LIARS, you.
7) We are sending a huge message to the NL West early in the season - Fantastic stuff.
Knock wood, man!
Immediately! We have to play them again tomorrow!!

Which AAA teams,

Ah.
For a second, I was thinking that the 'Winders played SLC this weekend.... I was going to see for whom you were rooting.
