Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks, Apr 12, 2008 3:55 PM EDT
|
Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Doesn't seem all that long ago the last game ended; this Saturday contest gets shifted to the afternoon, to make it one of Fox's Games of the Week, though it appears that the other 48 states will be getting [yawn] Yankees-Red Sox, blah, greatest rivalry, blah, storied franchises, blah, blah. Before the first pitch, they'll be unveiling the 10th anniversary D-backs team, which should be fun to see: Jack Magruder has already weighed in with his selection.
Going by Morales's first start, this one might be a bit more of a tough challenge for Arizona, as he pitched six scoreless innings his first time around, restricting us to only two hits. That, of course, was the game last Sunday where we scored twice in the ninth and then three times in the tenth, striking a hammerblow against Colorado. Hopefully that will have sapped a bit of the fight out of Morales, and we'll manage some more success against him today. Should be about for most of this, running between radio and TV, as I've got a couple of movie reviews to get written. Let's make it eight in a row.

This makes me feel somewhat ill. I'm so annoyed- what's the point of putting the game on the national station if it's just going to be shown in the two markets? Why not just put it on FSN, because I'd sure be happier that way...
Okay, I'm going to hope that got the grumbling out of my system. It really didn't but I can pretend.

I remember...
seeing a bizarre segment of the Graham Norton show with Jackie Stallone (Sylvester's weird mother). They had a discussion of the fanny issue when she talked about doing psychic readings of pictures of people's "fannies." Regardless of the local meaning of the word, that's just a weird thing to do.

It should be pointed out...
That Orlando Hudson was on the phone to the bullpen asking if Petit was ready, because he was going in the game.

That's why he needs a new contract...
he's so versatile.

I wonder if we could get him to do color commentary while he's not on the field...

And Gameday tells me
Chris Young just popped out to end the seventh. In other news, it reports on this rookie called "Mantle", who may turn out to be quite good.

VERY quiet over at PuRow. They barely have had a screenful of comments in the past half-hour. Stunned silence, it would appear.

I do feel some sympathy for them. Seriously, so much hope coming into the season, and we've just mauled them.
But, you know, not a lot of sympathy.

I'm okay with that, I didn't mind them smacking the Braves around. I always like to see Atlanta lose.

and no pithy remarks over here either... I remember that pre season game we got spanked and it seemed to be a huge deal to a couple of them.

Yeah, there are good reasons I don't gloat over at Purple Row on a win. Don't want to look like too much of a jackass, among other things.

"Defensive indifference" may be my favorite scoring decision. I just imagine all the players standing around and shrugging.

No, that was the time before
against the Reds. He beat the Doggers.
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.

Bullpen should be pretty well rested, though we need to keep some in reserve, just in case of any problems with the Big Unit on Monday.

It would be great to see the team keep playing like this. I think we play about a third of our in-division schedule this month, and I'd love to head into May with a nice lead in the West.

well,
Being up at 4am after a LAN party probably isnt the most rock and roll thing to do, yet alone to prepare for your first baseball game :S. Still great win from the guys tonight from what I saw and its great to see all that potential finally showing :) It's a long way to go this year but you can't take away those 8 wins :)

Finally got back from the day
And that was a hell of a lot of fun. Little disappointed with the lack of people, we really should have more people for a Saturday for this team. Oh well, what can you do about that, though?
A thought on the reversed home run (haven't read you guys' opinions). I was right there, just a little bit closer to home plate, and when I saw it fly towards the pole I thought I saw it on my side (or foul). Then everyone started getting excited and the ump was motioning for a home run so I thought, hey I guess I saw it wrong. So I don't have a problem that they fixed a bad call, but why would the first ump just immediately motion home run? He was obviously unsure of the call, so man up and ask another ump what they saw. Then it saves everyone a headache, and I don't have to boo your stupid ass.
It was good to see the Diamondbacks continue to be the Bomber Backs, and me and Mrs. soco screamed "TOOL!" everytime Troy Boy came up. Him striking out 3 times was satisfying.
Overall, a great game and a great day for baseball. And America.
