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.

WTF?
Shouldn’t that be the infield fly rule??
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
by DbacksSkins on May 17, 2008 10:59 PM EDT reply 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 up reply 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.

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.

If the bunt works and Drew eventually scores, it's a great move.
If the bunt doesn’t work, which it didn’t, it’s a bad move.
Brandon Webb, do I need to say more?

How about,
if we don’t bother giving outs away and let our number three hole hitter swing the bat?
by dahlian on May 17, 2008 11:13 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well
for a hitter who’s batting .315 in the 7th inning or later, it seems silly to give the opposition an automatic out, when just getting a deep fly ball will give you the same outcome, and getting a hit would be even better.

Attended the game. A disappointing loss which had a chance to be a win without the screwups I was surrounded by Detroit fans who were polite and not obnoxious at all like fans of other teams that come to town (Boston, L.A., NY). Hopefully, R.J. will be on his game tomorrow, and AZ’s offense and defense both show up!
by TwinnerA on May 18, 2008 1:16 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I was at the game too.
Detroit fans were very loud, but this is the first time in a long time for many to see their old team, so I could understand the unbridled enthusiasm ( I think that is the right term).
DBacks fans seemed really into the game at crucial times too. THAT was nice to see.
Gotta stop that damn wave.

Disappointing
Kinda glad that I ended up on the end of the bar with the TV that wasn’t showing the D-backs game. That way I was able to enjoy my ridiculously girly drink without the aggravation of our offense not showing up. But I did pick up a little item today that I quite possibly will be putting up for a contest here. If I can figure out what the contest should be. Details to follow, I’m sure.
