Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Coming into the season, you might conceivably have predicted that we'd reach the end of May with Barry Zito's wins being the same number as Randy Johnson's losses. However, if you had that number as "one", I'd have been far more impressed. Zito did at least break his duck last time out, with 6.1 innings of one-run ball against Florida, but still has to count as one of the biggest busts of the season [in a year where it seems like everyone in the NL West has their albatross to bear].
Johnson, however, is rounding into form: it took a while, but in his last three starts he has a K:BB ratio of 19:1. Bob Melvin was certainly impressed, saying, "The last two, by far, have been the best, as far as his rhythm, his command, making pitches. He's not thinking about some of the things leading into it any more. He got a little frustrated early on with his mechanics. You could tell. Now he's not thinking about that. Everything is in line; he's just thinking about making pitches."
We certainly need a pick-me-up after the disasters of the first couple of nights on this homestand. The hitters can chip in by scoring more than three - when we asked for a more consistent offense, we didn't mean they'd restrict themselves to a maximum of three runs per night. In the dozen games since the start of the series against Detroit our collective line is: .208/.310/.358; we're averaging just 3.6 runs per game and have been limited to three or less in eight of the twelve. We've lost each of those eight, and won all the others, so I guess that gives us a target. Overall in 2008, we're 1-14 when scoring three or less, but are 22-3 at five or more. Let's get into the latter category tonight.

Does RJ pass Clemens tonight?
The way the D’backs have been playing, this may be the only reason to watch
"I'm sorry honey, I had to crash that Honda"
soco's keys to the game
1) Eat some grub
2) Watch the D’backs right the course
3) Try and track down some rare punk 7”
4) Dessert?

Just snooping around and seeing if I can find anything for a decent price. Unfortunately it’s one of those things that is better looking at random brick and mortar stores, but it something to keep me occupied.

Nope, just the opposite. :)
I say something is killing my ovaries when I mean, “I WANT ONE!” ;)
I have no idea how I started saying it, but I have been saying it since I was 15. I am weird.
I have been colonized.
There is this little boy and dad who they keep panning to
And the dad is leaning in to tell him about what is going on and the kid is fascinated and they are matching (one with a red shirt and one with blue) and it is killing me. :)
I have been colonized.
However, guaranteed
they won’t show the other 100 dad’s out there yelling at their kids – “Stop whining, no, we can’t go home!!!!” No! you can’t have anything else to eat!—Eeeks, just watch the game!!!!
Even that is kind of cute
Though I work with whiny kids, so I kind of built up an immunity to annoyance. (Also, I am married to soco.)
