Dammit. I was going to fill this thread full of clever kung-fu references, pitting snake-style Wing Chun against tiger-style, led off by the DVD sleeve for Tiger vs. Snake. But I fear I must have mis-remembered the title of that particular martial-arts epic, as Google is not my friend in that matter. The closest I could find is a box-set called Invincible Warriors, which includes two films called Screaming Tiger and Snake-Crane Secret. Not quite close enough at all, really.

Galarrago came into the Detroit rotation to replace Dontrelle Willis and his acquitted himself quite admirably so far, with three quality starts in his five outings. He did get knocked around a bit last time out, against Boston, being tagged for five earned runs in 5.1 innings. Scherzer was excellent against the Cubs, pitching six innings without an earned run, and with a little better work by the bullpen, might have got the win. Over on Bless You Boys, they reckon Eric Byrnes might be due a little retaliation because of the fist-pump following his homer in the opening game: I guess they hadn't been watching the 6-for-63 slump which preceded it, or they might be a bit more sympathetic.

Won't be about for at least the start of this one, since as mentioned in the recap, we're off to see The Man With Pointed Toes at Gilbert's Hale Theater this afternoon - should be home for the end of it, depending on dinner plans. It's one of those weird, 5:10pm start times today - neither one thing nor another, which mean you need to free up both your afternoon and evening for the game. Not quite sure who those appeal to, but the combination of a Chris Young bobblehead and a free concert afterwards by some C+W guy I've never heard of, have helped this one head towards sellout territory. I'm hoping we can win, clinch the series early and then send away those Tigers, screaming...

it should be a hoot

at today’s game. i wonder how many of those near sell out tickets are just there for the free concert? I hope we don’t upset them too much while we play a baseball game before hand.
I just hope we dont have a full stadium and most everyone just sitting on their hands.

Doesn't make much sense to me.

The BoB people seem to be forgetting Cabrera’s nine-minute stare at his own home run. Don’t see why one is worse than the other, particularly given Eric’s slump.

We could remind them all of that

ourselves. We could take the high road ourselves or police the game like in the days of old.

5:10 starts

appeal to people who like to get chores and errands done during the day, catch a game in the early evening and then still have time to go out for dinner and drinks afterwards.

All in all, I’m favor of ‘em.

Not as against as the first time, but still not my favorite start time. I do like the earlier Sunday starts.

I have to admit, though,

that it’s pretty nice to hear fans of an AL team refer to the Dbacks as “the best team in baseball”....

Or at the very least,

annoying and disappointing. It’s not the 9th yet, after all.

How much would it suck

to be the guy whose sole gig is to be that tan dancing caveman?

Seriously…. would you hate yourself, or what?

Tm night's matchup:

RJ vs. a pitcher who’s 1-4 with a 6.04 ERA.

It would be really really nice to win tonight and have the chance to sweep tomorrow and get Randy another win.

Candiotti is really in the zone right now,

and I like it. Says Sutton: “Hitters, you don’t have a CHANCE in this booth tonight.”

WTF?

Shouldn’t that be the infield fly rule??

by DbacksSkins on May 17, 2008 10:59 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Doesn't apply

With one man on, because with “ordinary effort” the hitter should be able to reach first. Not if he turns and goes back to the dugout though…

by Jim McLennan on May 17, 2008 11:00 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

So that was it

and not because he attempted to bunt. My buddy and I were wondering what the hell was going on.

You can stand under my umbrella

Thanks for the clarification.

So it not only didn’t apply because there was one man on, but also, because Hudson was bunting.

Maybe BoMel might learn something from this??

Not that

Hudson understands the infield fly rule either, as we saw earlier this season.

Melvin with the frigging sacrifice bunt. Again, it’s a miserable goddamn failure.

I agree with you

this time. O-Dawg is an established hitter. Augie, less so.

New rule:

We can never, ever, ever let Hudson bunt again.

Between this pop up and stepping out of the batters’ box last time, it just doesn’t work.
