Arizona Diamondbacks at Milwaukee Brewers, Jun 4, 2008 2:05 PM EDT

Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
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.

soco's keys to the game
1) Catch a little bit before going to work
2) Work

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.

The B-squad is out today
- A. Ojeda ss .339
- C. Burke 1b .171
- O. Hudson 2b .302
- M. Reynolds 3b .249
- C. Young cf .239
- C. Snyder c .268
- J. Upton rf .270
- M. Owings p.297
- 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.

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.

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

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”...

On the positive side
the Rockies are leading the Dodgers 2-0.

I am taking no positives out of that and I hope the D’Backs don’t either.

I’m thinking 81 wins Might be enough to take the NL West this year.

Dodgers are losing… And Kershaw has allowed two earned runs in two innings.

For the record,
last year against the Brewers, we went
L 4-3
L 3-2
W 5-2
L 10-1
in Milwaukee, and
L 9-0
L 7-4
W 3-2 (Webb pitched that one)
in Phoenix.
Last year’s season ended pretty well, so the fact that we’re losing EVEN WORSE to the Brewers must mean this season WILL be much better… right? Right??

Baseball knowledge question
How, exactly, do you lose half a game?
by luckycc on Jun 4, 2008 3:58 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
In the standings?
If you lose, and the team you’re being compared to doesn’t play. You will drop half a game in the standings compared to them.

by luckycc on Jun 4, 2008 4:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yep
They’ve played one fewer, but have won four games less and lost three more. You work out the games back by adding the four to the three, and dividing by two: hence, 3.5.

In all fairness...
...Manny Parra has pitched very well in his last few starts. So your not the only ones. Plus, as a Brewer fan, I feel for you guys. Last year the Brewers got off to a great start, then threw it away at the end of the season to the Cubs, who were then swept. By you guys if I’m not mistaken. And this year, the hated Cubs are playing out of their minds, and no matter what the Brewers do, cannot seem to gain on them. I mean, they have a 9 game winning streak going. WTF?
