Day-game delight! What? Max Scherzer isn't starting today as well? Dammit! Still, we go from a man making his first major-league appearance ever, to a man starting his 560th game, with 3872 innings under his belt. Last outing for Randy was clearly his best yet: six innings, only three hits and one earned run, with seven K's. Velocity and control were both good, and we'll be hoping for more of the same today.
Poor Chacon has been tagged with five straight no-decisions, despite pitching at least six innings each time. His control appears to be a weakness, with 17 walks in only 33 innings, so that may be something of which we can take advantage.
Looks like Byrnes is back in the lineup; Montero gets the start behind the plate, and ones has to wonder whether Johnson has something against Chris, because it seems to be a case of "anyone but Snyder" for his starts. Be good to head into the off-day with a win, and extend our streak of series without a loss to nine in a row. Probably won't be about much, due to work, but will hopefully be able to pop in during my lunch-break.

I assume
that since it’s a day game, we’ll be seeing a lot of our English friends?
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Do I ever let you down?
excluding internet problems?
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
According
to PRer free7694, “Scherzer” is German for “joker”.
If Mad Max doesn’t catch on, what about The Joker?

The Joker sounds good
but I like to think we could do something to play off that kick ass eye thing he has going. I grew up on Transformers so Optimus Prime plays on memories for me.

Im currently watching the Champions League Semi Final but will flick the game on in the background after, have to admit I really want Chelsea to win and so far…so good
I have both todays starters in my fantasy team so if Chacon could get 23K’s and Randy 24ks and win with 1 Arizona HR I would be happy ;)
no spoilers please on Champions League
recording at home and hope to catch the games from yesterday and today later - Can’t wait to watch them!

Not Burke.

Reynolds boots some things but I wouldn't say lousy
otherwise you might as well say O-Dawg is lousy for some of the mistakes he makes.

And a Coke.
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.
There's only one Coke
Classic Coca-Cola. New Coke isn’t produced at too many places anymore.
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.
Funny thing about that
New Coke actually tested better than the classic, and probably would have been completely successful if the company had slowly altered the formula. The problem was that people the originally liked New Coke changed their mind about it when the people who absolutely refused to accept the new product began to make noise.

There's more than one
Coke with sugar versus Coke with HFCS, for example.

Taste difference is minimal
not very drastic like New Coke.

It’s noticeable, though.
Really, I have no memory of what New Coke tasted like.

It's not bad for what it is
Diet Coke is a trainwreck, but I like Coke Zero since I’m trying to cut down on useless calories. It’s a nice compromise.

On a curious note...
anyone here a fan of heavy metal?

A little
Only more mainstream stuff like Tallica, Iron Maiden etc, I’m more into light American Pop Punk to be honest shame
I was speaking more of...
either old-school like ACDC, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica or more new age like Dragonforce

Dragonforce: Don’t know em.

Gotta check out Dragonforce
In my opinion they may be the one true hope of reviving metal back to its glory days
"Troops in desperate straights know no fear. Where there is no escape, they stand firm; When they have entered deep, they persist; When they see no hope, they fight." Sun Tzu The Art of War
Classic metal
or the newer types? I like the former myself.

I prefer...
both the oldschool and some of the new age as long as it’s not death metal or scream metal

Lean more towards industrial than heavy metal, personally.

Inning over
we need some offense
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.
Apparently
Laz Diaz has blown (by Schulte’s estimation) 2 checked swing strike/ball calls this inning.
Umpires I’ve never liked: Laz Diaz, Tim McLellan, Angel Hernandez, Bruce Froemming.
At least one of them is gone.

Gamecast is behind, the room with the computer doesn’t have a working TV, and I count on the ‘Pit for accurate reports. When I’ve got the game on, it doesn’t matter, but if I don’t, it’s obnoxious to get goofy reporting from you.
