Arizona Diamondbacks @ Chicago Cubs

Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]

Need to win this one, folks: I do not want to find us tomorrow, needing Johnson to beat Zambrano to avoid the sweep. A large part will depend on how Scherzer is: do we get Good Max or Bad Max today? In his two appearances so far, we've seen both; there's no doubting he throws hard, but he needs to be able to throw at least one other pitch for a strike, in order to have any success, even the second time through the order. This Cubs' offense is not bad, but none of them have ever faced Scherzer before, obviously.

Might see Hudson back in the lineup today: hopefully, he'll be feeling 100%, because if not, I'd rather he take the extra day-off and let Ojeda start. This game is going to be  televised nationally on Fox, though Al at  BCB says the game will only be seen in 37% of the country: clearly some new definition of "nationally" I wasn't previously aware of. I would not be surprised if the same two teams end up meeting in the NLDS once again this year. I trust the result will be the same. :-)

Not sure if I'll be about much. I have no major plans, but I am feeling pretty sick stiil: my voice is slightly better, but you do not want to know what I have been coughing up. Let's just say, Stephen King will be turning it into a novel, and John Carpenter is interested in the film rights. Any comments from me will therefore be between bouts of coughing and wheezing. Let's go, D-backs.

Are we in that 37%?

Eric Byrnes - 3 years, 30 million with a NTC: 88 GS, 353 AB, 9 HR, 27 SB, 13 GIDP, .238/.310/.385 (.695 OPS) EB is exactly who we thought he was!

This is the 4th time this year that I won't be able to watch the D'Backs on "national" t.v.

Fox is the only channel that does this. I don’t see TBS or TNT broadcasting certain sporting events for certain regions.

Brandon Webb, do I need to say more?

by srdmad on May 10, 2008 2:23 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

National TV or not

And it is SO random. When the Rockies played the DBacks, our local station out of Albuquerque showed the —wait for it -- Yankees and Red Sox!! Given that Albuquerque is about equidistant from Denver and Phoenix, and that it’s in an part of the country that is considered by the powers that be in MLB to reside in the Rockies area, it should have had the Rockies-DBacks game. IMHO.

It's like living with a six-year old.

I missed the Mets game last week because it was blacked out.

That doesn’t seem too drastic to me! It’s the Diamondbacks, for heaven’s sake. If you have to move to see them play, then you do so.

game notes from yahoo

The Diamondbacks absorbed their lowest run output of the season in Friday’s 3-1 loss at Chicago, mustering four hits. Arizona entered the game first in the major leagues in runs with 201 in 35 games – an average of 5.7. ... Two days after being involved in a collision with Philadelphia OF Shane Victorino in a play at first base, 1B Conor Jackson returned to the lineup, going 0-for-2 with two walks. ... After losing back-to-back games just twice in April, the Diamondbacks have dropped five of their first eight contests in May. Arizona has been outscored, 31-13, in those defeats.

Quail

Brandon Webb, do I need to say more?

On a side note,

Santana got the win and pitched a pretty good game today, but oddly, his fastball seemed slow. I don’t think he topped 91 MPH for any pitch on the day.

Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.

Well now...

We seem to have made up for our shoddy batting with some inept bullpen work.

Damn.

Stupid pizza!

Because that chicken salad I had was really good, and I don’t want to blame it.

Give RJ a little more credit than that. He has never lost at Wrigly

Ugh.

I just don’t have much else to say about it right now.

Hopefully Davis will provide a spark in two weeks.

It'll be nice to get a left-handed power surge,

from both the batting and pitching side.

I think these guys can turn it around.

I don't think there is alot to turn around

We’ve just had a couple of injuries and a mini drop in form. I don’t think we have alot to worry about to be honest

by Wimb on May 10, 2008 6:24 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think the drop in form is largely mental. They can shake that off.

I always liked

Adam Corolla. Honestly.

I always liked him more than Jimmy Kimmel. Maybe because I heard him on Loveline first- that was an interesting show.

Then, yesterday, I found out Adam Corolla is on the radio in the mornings in Phoenix. So, now I know.
