Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Any chance of a win here? Really, that's all I got. From being a team that had difficulty beating good opponents, we are now a team that has difficulty beating anyone: we have won two series this month, against the Tigers and Rockies. Over the last ten games, we're tied with Colorado for the worst record in the National League. It's definitely the offense that has been the issue. During the current 2-8 streak, we're hitting .217, but the pitching staff has a credible ERA of 4.22 [basically identical to the NL average for the year, which is 4.21].
At least we should be able to hit up and down the order tonight, thanks to the presence of Pwnings in the line-up. Though May has been no kinder to him than a number of our other hitters: he is 2-for-16 with eight strikeouts and no RBIs this month - so Brandon Webb has still driven in more runs this season! It'd be nice to see him get back on track with the bat as well as the ball. Over the past four games, he's given us a quality start every time, throwing 26 innings with an ERA of 2.77 and a K:BB ratio of 25:8. Hopefully, he can keep us in the game, and the hitters can not stop scoring when they reach three runs. Remember: 22-3 when we score five or more.

If you’re about and still want to do the recap, let me know and I’ll upgrade your account. Not heard from Azreous, so you can take the spot-start if you want. :-)

Sorry Jim, I know I haven’t been around much. I’d do it but my arm has been really sore lately… no idea why.. :( and I need to rest it as much as I can, so I can’t do much extra writing.

No prob. I quite understand why. Or should I say, Wii… :-) I can do it tomorrow; I’ve worked out a schedule with Azreous of alternate Tuesdays and Friday, but not sure if he wanted to start tonight or next Tuesday. And since dahlian had expressed interest too…

It actually isn't that! ;)
My right arm is what’s sore, not my left. It’s very strange. I just hope it gets better before the trip to nationals. That’s very cool about the schedule – you deserve a break now and then.

Gee Jim,
this is pretty short notice. I’m going to have to dig through my moving boxes to find my MLA Style Guide, Bartlett’s Familiar Quotes, the Big Book of Puns and my father’s Joke Book for Junior Executives. Not to mention that we would have to discuss my financial renumeration along with future publishing rights…
But if you’re really in a bind, I guess I could do some quick pro bono work on the side for you. Just this once, though.

Hey now,
No one’s fielding percentage went down – why would you imply that it was a bad play?
Sure, it may count against their zone ratings, but we all know how flawed those stats are.

It was a bad play
because you had two players within 4 feet of catching it—one pulled up at the last moment, and one got twisted around, and it dropped between them.
It was a bad play because it was a play that COULD be made, that wasn’t.

When CoJack's on his game, he's gonna drive that ball for a home run, or at least a double.
Instead, he pops it up.

Also, smart baserunning by Sally. Sadly, I’m inclined to think that only he and Augie make that play on this team.

Whew
Just got back to the hotel from the Tampa Bay game- the Rays hit a walk-off home run to win, the other Upton had an RBI and two stolen bases, and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named had a bases loaded, inning ending GIDP early on in the game. Plus, I got to pet a manta, which was cool/weird.
Now can we please get a freaking win here?

I was wondering if a manta had ever gotten hit by a home run, and the walk-off nearly landed in the tank. It was amusing.
Oh, and the Rays mascot is just weird. My wife suggested that it’s a Muppet, and that’s about as accurate as anything else I could think of.

Well I see things didn't go so well tonight
though the missus and I had to endure the preview for this monstrosity so I’m not sure who had the worse night.
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.
