Well, they're introducing players in Denver, and we don't have a Gameday thread up yet, so I figure we should have someplace to chatter on about the game.  Assuming other people are around too, I hope.  *looks around nervously*

Pretty quiet from the crowd while they introduced the D-backs, except for a burst of boos when Byrnes came on the field.  I guess the fans are still holding a grudge over those comments back around the NLCS...

Thanks for putting up the Gameday Thread

I don't know how to do that. Can anybody do that?

by Craig from Az on Apr 4, 2008 3:50 PM EDT   0 recs

I just started a Fanpost (which everyone can do) and stole Jim's title formating. Can't get it to the main portion of the page, but people should notice it, I'd think.

Lineup

Young
Burke (still no CoJack)
Hudson
Byrnes
Snyder
Reynolds
Upton
Drew
Owings

Upton and Young lead that lineup with .200 batting averages (yuck). Our best hitter might be batting ninth!

by Craig from Az on Apr 4, 2008 3:53 PM EDT   0 recs

I keep thinking we should put Byrnes somewhere other than cleanup. Why not put Young there?

I'm keen to the idea of

switching Young and Byrnes. Not sure it makes sense or why I think that, I just have a feeling about it

Here we go

I can think of nothing better this afternoon that beating our arch-rivals --- but I am extremely nervous with Micah on the mound

by dstorm on Apr 4, 2008 3:55 PM EDT   0 recs

Agreed

I look forward to playing the Rockies. I think we've got the makings of a great rivalry between our teams, east coast media be damned.

Just remember, folks

Next time you complain about the Diamondbacks coverage team, compare it to FSN Rocky Mountain. Before they introduced players, I had to sit through a video montage of the Rockies lip-syncing a Nickelback song. Ugh.

clearly off the bag -- good call

by dstorm on Apr 4, 2008 4:13 PM EDT   0 recs

Yeah, there was no call for the manager to go out- it was pretty blatant.

On the other hand- the Rockies getting charged with an error at home? The mind boggles!

Okay, now I'm intrigued.

I presume "Two run double for Reynolds" was also there.

by Jim McLennan on Apr 4, 2008 4:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It's fluid, but at the moment, 'two run double from Reynolds', 'your package from Amazon is here' and 'I'll buy you lunch' all are ranked higher.
