Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
A sense of deja-vu strikes me here. If I remember correctly, the last time Davis pitched, we needed him to pull out a win after our #1 and #2 were defeated. And here we are again, in exactly the same state, because the front of our rotation has been decidedly wobbly once more. Hopefully Davis can be as brilliant as last time out, where he shut down a potent Braves offense, allowing only one run over seven innings.
A somewhat easier task for our hitters, following yesterday, where Lincecum chewed u our hitters, spat them out, and used their bats as toothpicks. Sanchez walks too many people and also can be hit: Pittsburgh scored seven runs off him in 4.1 innings less than a month ago, so if they can do that... It's another left-handed pitcher, but I'm not convinced that the best approach is to throw every southpaw we have on the roster out there. The best hitters of LHP we have this season - both with an OPS of over 1.000 - are Chris Young and Conor Jackson. However, this may be more successful against lower-class lefties like Sanchez - an ace is an ace, and you may need your very best hitters out there, regardless of handedness.
Keys to the game:
- Try out the new curry house that opened close to our house
- Write a review of Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust
- Smack around a left-handed starter like we used to.
- Dessert?

It’s another left-handed pitcher, but I’m not convinced that the best approach is to throw every southpaw we have on the roster out there.
Today we would probably want as many RHBs in the lineup as we can get.
The irony of that
Must have got lost. It was a reference to yesterday, when we had LHB Tracy, Montero and Salazar added to the regular lineup yesterday against, not just a leftie, but a very tough leftie. The last-named I can kinda understand, because of Byrnes going on the DL, but do you really think Montero was a better offensive option than Snyder?

Well, there goes that theory
:-) Except that it still stands, in the sense that we slapped people in the lineup simply because of the handedness of their at-bats.

Upton's 0-for-24
Is the longest hitless streak in the majors this year, I think. If it goes much longer, I’m going to have to start pulling out the record books.
And the franchise record
Is Travis Lee’s 0-for-27 over eight games back in 1999. That’s a rough guess, based on entirely hitless games, and doesn’t include the “bookend games” of the streak, and the at-bats before or after he got a hit in those.

Today’s lineup:
C. Young cf .243
S. Drew ss .275
O. Hudson 2b .307
C. Jackson 1b .303
C. Snyder c .275
M. Reynolds 3b .225
J. Upton rf .274
C. Burke lf .182
D. Davis p .500
Snydes move up to #5 and Burke gets the start in LF. The lone LHB we have today is Wolf at ss.
Not exactly true
Hudson is a switch hitter.
Those other guys:
F. Lewis lf .273
J. Castillo 3b .263
R. Winn rf .293
B. Molina c .329
A. Rowand cf .331
R. Durham 2b .285
R. Aurilia 1b .252
E. Burriss ss .246
J. Sanchez p .095
Who the heck is Burriss?
If I recall from earlier in the year
he’s one of their youngsters that’s pretty decent, a little speedy guy. Of course, I could be completely mixed up right now.
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.
He's better than Omar Vizquel,
and that’s all that matters from our point of view.

I hate the east coast
6:40 starts are great until they’re 9:40 starts out here. Vacation is great, but on purely baseball reasons, it’ll be nice to be back in Arizona.

soco's keys to the game (the OG keys)
1) Dream of dinner (ahhh, curry how I love you)
2) Do something about it?
3) Practice drums some more
4) Baseball
5)Dessert?

Luckily, it was barely on the top of the foot.

Ooooooooo what's the character?

Human Scout/Soldier. It’ll be my first experience with the new system, so I’m wary, yet excited.
I had some fun with the d20 Star Wars, but they’ll never match the entertainment I got from the West End Games sourcebooks….
"Look, I'm not a financial expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure that a zeppelin is an excellent investment opportunity."

And....
that’s probably the grossest thing I’ve heard in the past month or so.
So, they take the cow fetus and feed the fetus to huskies? Or the slaughtered cow?

They use it to feed working dogs
it’s unfit for human consumption,they are roughly cut up so you can still see eyeballs and hooves and stuff.
Read Winter Dance by Gary Paulson, wonderfully funny book.
He did a fart after eating moose chili so bad the dogs stopped hauling to look round at him.

I live in walking distance to a place called
Curry Mile.The best curries in the world.
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
S'okay
“Curry Lite” was how Mrs. SnakePit described it, and I tend to concur. The point of curry is partly that it sticks to your ribs, and absorbs alcohol – this would have been hard pushed to cope with a dry martini. Came with a sampler platter of sauces, which added some nice variety. Bombay Spice was the name of the place, should you care: I do sense it was neither owned, operated or patronized by Indians, however!

And, we have returned to our 2007 ways.
Look, I know we won the most games in the NL last year, and all that, but there’s no reason to try to replicate that run differential “fun” if you don’t have to.

I baked cookies tonight already, and I’ve got ice cream in the freezer. Tomorrow, I’m going to dinner someplace with a rum bar.
I feel a game like this may call for all three.

Best thing ever.
"Look, I'm not a financial expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure that a zeppelin is an excellent investment opportunity."
We have serious issues and I am now wondering if this team will ever get it's ass in gear.
The fricken Rays are better than us.
Brandon Webb, that's all I'm going to say.
Give them credit, the Rays are playing well right now.
"Look, I'm not a financial expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure that a zeppelin is an excellent investment opportunity."

We did, for just about the entire month of April. And almost exactly the same players. There’s no reason we can’t play as well again.
We’re sucking farts out of dead dogs right now and still have a 3.5 game lead. That’s actually half a game more than it was three weeks ago.

Still the largest lead of any division leader, if I’m correct.

Seems like much of the division is just waiting for us to start clicking again so they can hand over the title.

If Upton and Reynolds explode again,
a blowout loss will have been a pretty small price to pay.

Did I not make myself clear,
they are the Rays formally know as the Devil Rays. We are the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Brandon Webb, that's all I'm going to say.
And they’re good this year. Are we supposed to be weeping over that?

ANd bonus, they make the Yankees look bad.

Why?
They’re a good team this year. Sure, we want to be better, but let’s not fool ourselves, they’re a very good, fundamentally solid team.
