Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
I was going to boycott this game today, because of the sorry excuse for an offense that we've been sending out there of late: "Show me why you deserve my support," was going to be the thrust of today's commentary, as I vowed not to witness another pitch of Diamondbacks baseball until they won. But then, I realized that today was a Brandon Webb start, which are always worth watching, and we already have our tickets for Sunday's game - which kinda makes the concept of a boycott this weekend rather silly. "I wish I knew how to quit you," to quote a certain film which, I want to stress, I haven't actually seen. :-) But maintaining the cinematic theme, here is today's text, from the Book of Finch, Chapter 77:
I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad! You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do.
For I've had it, up to here, with men stranded on third, and double-plays, and three-run homers by the weakest slap-hitter on the opposing team. I have had enough pop-ups on the infield, and more than enough swinging wildly at pitches that are a greater threat to aircraft taking off from Sky Harbor, than the strike-zone. I want no booted grounders, wild pickoff throws or mis-played balls to the outfield. This team is better than that, as they showed throughout the entire month of April. It's the last chance to make a statement in May: let that statement be, "Enough, already. With or without Eric Byrnes and his torn hamsters, we are the division champions and, dammit, we will be again."
I will be occupying the living-room, with a large selection of beer, enough chilli-lime pork rinds to securely pack a TV set for transport, and intend to get thoroughly drunk during this one. The comments which result from this end, will thus likely get steadily less incisive, but probably more politically incorrect as the game wears on. Tonight's Gameday Thread is thus rated R for potentially strong language, ferocious alcohol consumption and extreme violence against, we hope, Nationals pitching. Let's go, D-backs!

soco's keys to the game
1) Go to game
2) Find alcohol
3) Consume in mass quantities
4) Dessert?
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.

Dodgers Blow It
Mets come from behind in the 8th to win a one-run game. Very exciting stuff (even if the victor is as evil as a team can be without being in our division). A win tonight gives us back the 3 1/2 game buffer we’ve come to know and love. Let’s get it done D-Backs!!!!

Tonight's lineup
- S. Drew ss .268
- C. Young cf .237
- O. Hudson 2b .312
- C. Tracy 1b .308
- J. Upton rf .274
- M. Reynolds 3b .233
- J. Salazar lf .268
- C. Snyder c .266
- B. Webb p .091
Drew bats leadoff, which is interesting. Are they going to ask him to steal if he gets on base? Jackson sits as Tracy plays first, which I am less happy about – not sure who has the better defense there. Salazar gets the start in LF, and we don’t get to see Burke, which works for me.

This day in DBacks history
May 31, 2000
Cardinals are in town, they’ve scored one run early on and have the bases loaded when McGwire comes up.
He hits a pop up to center field that Finley caught (1 out). Finley guns the ball to home plate and nailed the runner there (2 outs).
Catchers then throws to 3rd base to nail the runner there (3 outs ) Triple play

Baseball knowledge question
Why was that failed bunt a strikeout?
by luckycc on May 31, 2008 8:36 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
A foul
Doesn’t normally count as strike three, but it does if you’re bunting. I presume to stop the hitter from going up there and fouling off forever – with a bunt there’s really only two options, you get it down or you foul it off.
by Jim McLennan on May 31, 2008 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
When you bunt foul with 2 strikes,
it’s an automatic K. It’s the rule.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
by DbacksSkins on May 31, 2008 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Here's some...
Foul balls were not considered strikes initially. Some years later, when it became clear that a batter might hit foul balls endlessly in an effort to get a good pitch to hit, the pitcher was given somewhat of a break by an 1858 rule that declared any foul ball to be a strike, unless there were already two strikes on the batter. After the bunt came into existence as a strategy, it also became clear that a batter could literally bunt all day to try to get his pitch. To retain some balance, the rule was further amended, in 1894, to declare any foul bunt a strike.

got invited to a Las Vegas trip by a friend of hers, then he proposed to her the next day in Vegas with a Tiffany’s diamond ring, in front of a bunch of people.
Her response was “Um….. I have to go to the bathroom.” Then they had to sit together on the 4 hr flight home. She pretended she was asleep.
Then again, they weren’t even dating, and hadn’t done ANYTHING besides making out a few times.

He climbed the ladder
and made a FANTASTIC catch for you, too.
I’m guessing the replay of that will be on MLB.com, if it isn’t already.

Yes...
That’ll do. Lead back to 3.5 games, and May ends on a high-note, despite all the problems. Still didn’t get to five runs, but we will save that for tomorrow.

The whole "Redheads" section
was a GREAT idea, and probably the best fan-friendly move the this management has made in its tenure. Thoughts?

Don't know
Didn’t go, and didn’t see much about it on TV. I do like the idea though, and hope that the kind of passion described shows up throughout the entire ballpark. If people see others being loud and enthusiastic, it’s got to rub off eventually.

was that one of the games that you weren’t really able to watch?

Wow....
Official gametime was 1:52. THE shortest game in Chase Field history.
Also, Webby’s 75th career dubya.

Or else
“We’ll sign Barry Bonds?”
“We’ll bring Russ Ortiz back. After all, we’re still paying him.”
“We’ll make you take turns playing Baxter.”
Given those alternatives, the results were immediate.

I am watching
The Eric Byrnes Show. It’s the second part of the “dating game”, which has Conor Jackson going out on a date with a U of A sorority sister. It’s kinda nice to see a bit more of CoJack’s personality, which you don’t tend to see on an everyday basis.

OT: That Prostate Cancer Foundation ad
showing a bunch of sad little kids trying to play baseball with inanimate objects - mannequins, scarecrows, trees, etc. - makes my eyes tear up everytime. :-(
Anyway, pizza’s on its way, Eric Byrnes Show is on, beer is in the fridge, and I’m out. Last night was a great night after the Dbacks loss, so I’m just hoping that a Dbacks win doesn’t mean tonight will suck.

Wow that was a quick game
It took almost as long to get home as it did for them to win it.
I’d like to point out that before Upton hit his home run, I turned to the missus and my friend and I said, “You know what would be great? An Upton home run.” And then he promptly hit it.
Then Reynolds gets up, so Mrs. soco says the same thing. Boom, he goes yard.
Then the next inning when CY gets up, we were joking about how Reynolds and Upton were probably making fun of him for not hitting a home run tonight. What does he do? Hit a home run.
You all are welcome.
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.
