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.

Better
Last time out, Morales retired the first eleven hitters he faced, so this is a big improvement already.
My favorite phrase on Gameday
"Ball in play, run(s)"
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
Anyone else laugh at the Cars.com commercial?
Horse laxative. Nice.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
That's a start
More runs than we got off Morales his entire start. Another first inning run. Isn't that 15-3 now or something like that?
Slow roller for the Rockies
O'Dog usually gets those, so it seems he's human after all.

MLB Radio well behind
After they got two on, I went through to see how Haren was pitching. Very impressive. He got the final out and I wandered back through...in time to hear the final out on the radio again. Good comeback by Danny Boy, that splitter of his is nasty.
On the TV
They've got Thom Brennaman doing the commentating on Fox, so it's a bit of a throwback there, to go with the 10th anniversary celebrations.

Oh, look
Troyboy's down on strikes. I think right up there with "ball in play, run(s)" as my four favorite words, have got to be "Tulowitzki strikes out swinging."

Only complaint I'd have
if he was a DBack is that he seems to get rattled and less focused once there's a base runner.

Another his for J-Up
I'm thinking another notch or two up the order might not be a bad idea. He's just raking right now.

We're at the bottom of their order know, but if he gets in trouble, then our bullpen faces the heart of theirs.

Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Perception
is everything! He's probably not as god awful as I think, but one is inclined to remember the failures more than the successes.

Who's that Romero kid
that radio's mentioning? Can't they see it was medders?

Romero no longer batting 1.000
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
I've given in and now am watching Return of the King. I'd forgotten just how much I love this movie.

Yeah, that's a tremendous scene.
DEATH!

Mmm.
Another easy out for Tulo. One pitch, easy flyout.
On the plus side, he actually made contact finally.
Yea
medders just struck out swinging

Last chance
for holliday to miss sliding across our home plate! Darn!

a double-double would be the icing on the cake
Nice work there by Peguero

Come on guys

We have to leave an impression on everyone's stats?
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
We could try
and leave a mark, but I'll settle for a solid win.

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.
I <3 O-Dawg
calling the bullpen. lol
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
That's why he needs a new contract...
he's so versatile.

I gotta cheer for St. Louis. Each win by the Cardinals torments Cubs fans a little more.
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
true dat!
and you all know just how much I love the scrubbies.

and the gnats just
tied it back up in the 9th.

I'm fine if they want to wear each other out in extra innings. Heck, do it again tomorrow while we're at it!

DOH!
We are there on Monday! FOrgot about that!

Ok
Special K Earns his nickname that time
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
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.
Mantle might be good?
really? I hadn't read much about him yet.

Uh oh, 10 - 2
Here come the Rockies!
Yawn.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
It's all gone
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.
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
Well, they can beat up on the other teams for us
that'll cheer them up.
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
Really?
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.
by unnamedDBacksfan on Apr 12, 2008 6:42 PM EDT up reply actions
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.
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
Exactly!
I let the team do all the talking for me.

As a sidenote
"Defensive indifference" may be my favorite scoring decision. I just imagine all the players standing around and shrugging.
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
Uh, maybe I shouldn't be so sarcastic.
10 - 3 now.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
And that's the game
Woo Hoo!
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
winning by 9
or winning by 7, who cares? The good guys get the W!
Nice job DBacks!

I'm particularly pleased for Haren
after his tough luck last outing
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
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.
EdGon with the start
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.
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever."
unbelievable
quite a ride... I'm sure in September when things are nip and tuck we will be thankful for every one of these wins.
"There are only two seasons: winter and baseball"

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.
