Another day, another game with a second-half lead blown. It was the usual story: a quality start,. a woeful lack of offense. 3.2 runs per game in the last nine, and the rule since May 13 continues to prevail. Score three runs or less, and we're 0-11; score any more and we're 9-1.  Is four runs really too much to ask us to score more than once per week?

Enough said. Early start today: 11 am Arizona time. My presence will be limited for work-related reasons, but a small Yahoo window may be located towards the bottom-left corner of my screen.

1) Catch a little bit before going to work
2) Work

The B-squad is out today

  1. A. Ojeda ss .339
  2. C. Burke 1b .171
  3. O. Hudson 2b .302
  4. M. Reynolds 3b .249
  5. C. Young cf .239
  6. C. Snyder c .268
  7. J. Upton rf .270
  8. M. Owings p.297
  9. A. Romero lf .235

Yes, you read that right: our pitcher is batting eight. Think that’s a first in Diamondbacks history. Romero, Ojeda and Burke all get starts today, in place of Salazar, Drew and Jackson/Tracy respectively. I don’t have a great deal of confidence in this lineup scoring four or more.

talking about Bill Hall? Every single game Grace has gone on multiple Bill Hall tangents.

You know what, good for Hall. That organization has taken him for granted and are now bailing on him after 150 at bats. If the team doesn’t show any loyalty to him, why should he return the favor?

People use it

people understand it, just because it’s not a proper word doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

IT'S NOT A WORD!! It's "real", you're right, but it isn't a "word".

What did mrssoco major in? If it’s English, she’ll probably back me up.

By the way, who’s in your new avatar? Definitely better than Twiggy.

It's Lily Allen

I figured we could use some change; maybe she’ll will the boys to victory.

Every dictionary, funnily enough, carries a definition of “irregardless” and the almost always have an entry similar to this:
http://irregardless.org/images/Dictionary.jpg

Then there’s the entry for “word:” (1): a speech sound or series of speech sounds that symbolizes and communicates a meaning usually without being divisible into smaller units capable of independent use (2): the entire set of linguistic forms produced by combining a single base with various inflectional elements without change in the part of speech elements; b (1): a written or printed character or combination of characters representing a spoken word 2): any segment of written or printed discourse ordinarily appearing between spaces or between a space and a punctuation mark c: a number of bytes processed as a unit and conveying a quantum of information in communication and computer work

“Irregardless” passes that test quite easily, even if it gets lingosnobs up in arms.

Non sequiturs can be a form of humor

though I wouldn’t expect a lingosnob such as yourself to understand .

But it clearly wasn't originally intended like that.

You plainly forgot that he’s a vegetarian, and now you’re trying to cover it up. You, sir, are a phony.

Hah.

Good to see somebody else uses the “Blanky McBlankBlank” naming system for things. That always makes me smile.

Amazing how they can square up a pitch and we can’t score more than 1 run a game.

I am now back from the meeting

Well, we did get our zero off the board, and the Brewers still have a zero up there.

Unfortunately, theirs is preceded by a “1”...
