Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Back to the NL West, and I can't say Arizona will be too sorry to see some familiar faces: our record outside the division is a very mediocre 6-10 after the weekend mauling at the hands of the baby bears. What better cure than a visit from the Rockies, whom we've already beaten five times in six attempts, and haven't won a series in their past seven?
As charmer has documented, it looks like we have the starting pitching edge in all three games. Though as we have recently found out, the score when your starter leaves the game, is not necessarily the result at the end of the game. It's simultaneously comforting and annoying to think that we should have come out of Chicago with two wins, rather than none at all. We need to stop the bleeding, and I think two wins here is the least we should be looking for - a sweep, of course, would be even better.
Tonight, it's dueling lefties, Francis vs. Johnson. Francis has been mediocre of late, which is a substantial improvement over his first couple of starts. But he still walks far too many people. Johnson was victimized by the long-ball last time out, but has his moments. If he can avoid walking people, I'll be a lot happier, and the outcome will likely be better. Let's get back on track in this series - and tonight seems like a good place to begin the process.
Young back in the leadoff spot, and Byrnes dropped to #6. I think the message has finally got through. We'll see if the reduced pressure helps Eric get back on track. Interesting to see Drew and Hudson next to each other - perhaps the presence of Montero as a lefty helps alleviate the need to split them up.

I have to admit,
I do feel SOMEWHAT sorry for the Rox fans…. it’s like their team is trying to prove, WITH A VENGEANCE, that last year’s WS appearance was a fluke.

The teams and the media...
...would have you think so, but not really. It was more like the Indians and Yankees fans I drank beer with after the Yanks beat the Indians.

keys to the game
1 – Keep 7th inning stretch microphone away from Mark Grace
2 – Avoid flying nun catcher’s interference
3 – Leave walker in the dugout when heading out to the mound
4 – Hit the damn ball with runner’s on base
wait, one more
5 – Avoid little league errors in right field when speedy Rockie runners head for home
Dessert?

Great start
We match our combined productivity from Friday AND Saturday before making our third out. As charmer said, great to see Hudson back and apparently fully healthy.
Now, a quick 1-2-3 from Johnson would be welcome.
So much for the shutout.
I’m not too upset, though. I’ll trade it for the out.

Runners on 2nd and 3rd, nobody out,

Doesn’t make much sense to me to bunt with runners at 1st and 2nd with nobody out and the pitcher due up.
Exactly.
Wondered why in heck they were playing in? Unless they thought the Rockies would PH for Francis, but a quick glance at their bullpen would have revealed that wasn’t going to happen.

I asked about rituals and superstitions
I meant the players’ rituals and superstitions but they kinda answered about their own lol. That’s ok. :)

"Featuring Mark Grace and Daron Sutton"
It’s always about them... :-)

That’s true. I love them though ::hides from dahlian:: so I can’t complain.

Oh and I might add
It took me 11 questions (10 emails) to get on tv. :P

I guess
Your first ten couldn’t be misinterpreted as being about Grace and Sutton. That’s where you went wrong… :-)

lol, actually no!
I had other specific ones for them! :) Maybe I was too wordy? (I tried not to be, for once..)

Wow....
Reynolds with the same play back to back…. CoJack missed the first, made the second.

New fanpost:

I just got back from staying 6 days in Greenwich Village in NYC… I saw plenty of men in leather.

Win!
The Big Unit gets #287, and we get another game on LA!

Win!
Much as I like us to have the best record in baseball, the important thing is to win the division.

That'll do
Lead back up to 4.5 games, and we’re one step closer to SnakePit day at Purple Row in 2009. If we don’t all get banned by then, of course. :-)
We are being very polite when we’re over there. They are being very welcoming.

Good to hear
Though the way we’ve slapped them around this season, the mere presence of a D-back fan could be considered trolling. It’d be the same here if the roles were reversed, I know!
by Jim McLennan on May 14, 2008 12:26 AM EDT up reply actions
4? I think
I think we play them 19 times, so we need 10 wins.
by snakecharmer on May 14, 2008 12:33 AM EDT up reply actions
Think it's eight
IIRC, we play them eighteen times, so we need ten wins. We’re up 6-1 now. So four wins – and the resulting four Rockies losses – in the remaining eleven games would do it. Basically, even to force the tie-breaker, they need to win eight of eleven. And since the tie-breaker involves Drew vs. Tulowitzki, I think we have a good edge there too!
by Jim McLennan on May 14, 2008 12:34 AM EDT up reply actions
Wow.... Droo vs. Tulo is the tiebreaker??
I’ll bet that looked pretty good for them, coming into this season….

Oh, we have plenty to talk about that isn’t trolling. Moslty we make fun of Eric Byrnes. I think the fact that we’ve been there before helps. They know we’re not troll-ish.

Here's a comment I got from Rox Girl tonight, after one of my early posts:
Nice…
I like how you used Jim’s rule #4 there…

Woo!
I was at the game!
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.
Don't you wish you knew?
