Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
We could be seeing quite a lot of Edgar Gonzalez over the next couple of months, initially as a replacement for Randy Johnson (just like last season), and then standing in for Doug Davis. But EdGon is typically phlegmatic about that, saying, “I’m not thinking about that. I just want to throw well and do what I can to help the team to win. Whatever Bob says, I’m going to be ready for that.” This is a wise approach to take, given last year, he made twelve starts, but appeared out of the bullpen twenty times, pitching in relief anywhere from the first inning to the eleventh.
[As an aside, the above piece also mentions that Randy Johnson's return might not be on the 14th as previously expected - I think the poor results of his first Tucson start have made everyone a bit more cautious. Melvin says, “We’ll see what next time out holds as far as pitches and innings. I’ve never been married to a certain date. We forecast certain dates, but if he feels like physically he needs anther one, depending on how many pitches he throws, we can do that as well.” That would likely mean the Petit Unit on the 15th, with Johnson likely returning on the 22nd or thereabouts.]
It's going to be a bit hard for Edgar, who hasn't pitched since a minor-league game a week past Thursday. He has thrown a couple of bullpen sessions on the side, to try and stay fresh, and if anyone has the mental experience of pitching outside a set schedule, it's Gonzalez. To some extent, this contest can be regarded somewhat as icing. While it'd be lovely to win it, and complete the sweep over a divisional rival, we have already clinched the series and are guaranteed a road-trip no worse than 3-3, which is the benchmark I aim for - last season, we were 40-41 on the road.
Not sure my personal status for this. I'm supposed to be acting in a short film this morning, so am about to head off to that - playing the role of a therapist, I think largely because they like the British accent! No idea how long that'll go on for, but I'd be quite surprised if I'm back here in time for a noon first pitch.

soco's keys to the game
1. Head over to Zipps for some grub.
2. Dessert?
3. Have fun!
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.
soco, my friend,
I must say that your keys to the game continue to be remarkably prescient.
I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do.
What can I say?
I know what's up.

My keys to the game.
1) Miss at least the first five innings because of a damn meeting.
2) Swear constantly and fire people at that meeting.
3) ???????
4) PROFIT!
Ouch
Nothing seems to be going the Rockies way so far- they lost Luis Vizcaino to the DL after a warm-up session last night. Yikes.
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*

Ouch. Really??

We face another LHP in today's game. It appears as though our overly RHB lineup started to click against the leftys Redman and Francis the last two games. I'm hoping that this trend will continue as I'm a little concerned that Ed-it's-Gon could be serving up some long balls to that powerful Rockies lineup.
It may be a game that you want to take the over on.
Today's lineup:
C. Young cf
E. Byrnes lf
O. Hudson 2b
C. Jackson 1b
M. Reynolds 3b
J. Upton rf
C. Burke ss
R. Hammock c
E. Gonzalez p
Burke gets the nod at ss over the LHB Wolf and Hammock starts as the back stop.
I'm still not sold on Wolf.

Hmmm..... strange
I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do.
When Drew was first called up, I had a discussion on another board. There, I wrote that I felt that Drew was a real wolf ( Aesop's Fables...the boy who cried wolf ) becuase many other D-Backs "prospects" ( Lee, Durazo, Santos, Toraro, etc. etc. ) that were highley touted by BA, the FO etc. didn't produce. Therefore they were not a real wolf.
IMO, Drew is.
Alright, I'm sold.
Well, dunno that I'll use it, but I'll at least quit asking about it.

Our lineup is loaded with RHBs today. Franklin may be in for a shock when he discovers the D-Backs hitter's electicity.
Electicity?
Is that like electability, or electricity?

electricity
Is it just me or does anyone else have problems when the little comments banners shows up in the lower right corner? It seems that sometimes it pauses my typing.
I've had the same problem. Nothing major, though, so I'm not too worried about it.

Me, too
The notifications give me problems, and sometimes the thread will jump ahead when I hit the shift key. I also noticed that in long threads, it sometimes hangs when I try to type. I think they said that this set-up is still a beta, and "beta" = "broken." ;)

I had thought it was Frankie Morales vs. Danny Haren
and I commented to Silverblood last night that it sounded like a boxing match.

Forget Morales
I'm just worried about facing the offensive force that is Scott Podsednik.
"Look what it's done for us. People still don't recognize us but..." *snaps fingers*

Not so forceful lately
He barely made this Rockies team, and as a 4th OF. I think he's still a strong force, just, a not so reliable one.
Of course, now that I say that, he's gonna hit a homer. Great. ::knocks on wood::
Hmm, Petit Unit or Big Unit...
for the 15th? Hmm. And Webb on the 16th I presume. That might determine which game I head out to. We'll see how today's start goes.
Just finished up a 15 page research paper
Now it's time for some baseball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm clicking around on the tube and it looks like Extra Innings is showing todays game on the same channel that currently has the Spankees vs. the Rays game. They are only in the top of the 6th inning.
If that is the case then that really sucks. Having to take a back seat to the Spanks. grrr
Are the spankees losing?
Would be great having the Rays and O's be in this same spot com September.

It'd be awesome to see that jerkhole Joe Girardi get fired.

Local TV
We are not getting it on FSN Rocky Mountain, nor on FSN AZ, nor on Direct TV -- although we have a paid subscription to Extra Innings and should be getting it, to my mind. Evidently since it's not showing on FSNRM, Direct TV won't show it to us (we're in the Rockies showing area.) Mr. DBacks Fan is not pleased. However, after much research, we have found it on a local channel out of Albuquerque. All is well.

OK, makes sense now
Colorado does get full rights to you as you're in their home state.... Good thing you can get KASY - You should only have issues watching D-backs IF they're playing the Rockies and that game happens to be on a local Over The Air station.
The MLB territorial / black-out rules are very complex -- you almost need a degree in Physics to fully understand them.
I see what you mean...
...about typos.

Not as much pressure today ---

See??
That's the offensive force that is Scott Podsednik!!
I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do.
Our leadoff hitter smacks a sinking liner to left and it gets caught, but Podsednik has about the lamest hit in baseball history.
Clear evidence...
...that shit happens.
I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do.
Yeah
Sometimes, the lamest hits will get through- like a throwing error and a little floater into the outfield that should have both been easy outs, game over, but instead got us a World Series. =)

Saw a squib on a Yahoo site
that David Wells was talking about coming to the D'backs?
Frankly ,I wouldn't want him and don't think we need him.
Was it just wishful thinking on his part?
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
That was heard over the winter
I think it's wishful thinking on his part. I don't think we need him either.
it was on Yahoo's page today
we don't need anyone to fill Ortiz's old jersey
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
Well,
if we did, at least Wells is one of the few guys who could actually do it. You could fit two of Pena in there.
I'd rather have Boomer than EdGon while RJ and DD are on the mend. I don't know how much $ he would want but it could be a nice short term fix.
While true,
I wouldn't mind EdGon and Boomer spelling RJ and DD.
I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do.
I wouldn't mind him, certainly.
He'd only be taking up a roster spot. Wouldn't command too much of a salary.
Of course, since it's David Wells, we might need to free up 2 or 3 roster spots so he can fit.
Anyway, remember that the Dbacks basically had him signed in winter of 01-02, when the Yankees swooped in and bettered our offer.

probably wishful thinking

Congratulations on the sweep
You absolutely earned it. At no point did we look good, or even competent, against you guys. One team played like an NL West winner, the other team played like the Giants. One type of team will win games, the other will not. If Byrnes had said it this time, he would be right, you very much outplayed us and earned some small measure of revenge for the NLCS.
Enjoy your rightfully earned victories, I'm glad someone could enjoy it. The past three days have been absolute hell.
Ask your doctor if the Rockies are good for you. Are they generally? No. Do we stay? Of course. Why? Who built Stonehenge?

Way to Go D-Backs!
Nice to see Drew come through with a big blast in the top of the 10th, and then rob a hit in the bottom of the same frame...all after coming off the bench. Lyon has been miserable so far in his outings, (should be 5-1 w/o the Lyon) and I hope that Pena is next in line, rather than Qualls. Anyway, nice to sweep the defending NL Champs on the road.
How about

I don't ever want to see Lyon close another game
This was his chance to prove he could get it done. Huge top of the 9th for us, it was a game he had to save. Pena showed what he was made of last night loading up the bases and getting out of it. I hope Melvin does whats right and switch Lyon to the 7th or the 8th asap.
How Sweep It Is!
Great weekend defeating a really good Rockies team. Now let's keep the mojo going against the Dodgers!
