Hey, we didn't lose yesterday! How cool is that? Of course, we didn't actually play yesterday, but why quibble over trivial details. Dodgers still lost, of course, so we're four games ahead - that's a game further than we were a month ago. Our unstoppable roll towards the NL West title continues! Though at current rate, we will likely end up making the 2005 Padres - who were below .500 into the final week, and still won the division by five games - look like the 2001 Mariners.
Still, the rest of the season starts here, and I do feel fairly optimistic. We have the front of our rotation to look forward to, and we play four games against a sub-.500 team - we are 25-12 against teams with a losing record (compared to 7-16 against winners, the worst record in the National League). However, we are also a) on the road, and b) outside of our division. This does not augur well for the series. All told, I would be very happy to take three of four: a good outing from Webb today will go a long way towards that goal. Snell hasn't been up to much this year, and I'm hoping it'll help get the offense back on track.

Good ol' Snell.
He was the first pitcher taken for me in fantasy baseball, and now he’s on my bench.
Go to work, boys. Beat the hell out of him. Get another win for Webby.
O dawg doubles up
let’s hope this is a sign of better things
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
Stile4aly's keys to the game
1) Participate in the Gameday thread, since my lack of participation clearly has affected the D’backs ability to win.
2) Remember that we’re playing the Pirates.
3) Celebrate the fact that the “Wizard” ad will soon be a thing of the past
4) Call upon the Doctor’s mojo to get the offense going
5) Settle in and watch BSG after the game.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!

What the frak did you think it was? ;-)
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
I like that Tracy is starting
I don’t like that he’s replacing the best hitter on our team, rather than the worst hitter in the lineup.
I take that back
worst hitting infielder in the lineup.
I would take Reynolds over Sally as a hitter long term and he’s about on par with CY.
Optimism
and this team right now are not speaking to each other

Well, Yahoo is sending mixed signals
The Gamechannel says it’s 1 and 1 to Reynolds, and the Scores & Schedule page says bases loaded… Makes me wish for the relative utility of Gameday
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
I know how you feel
I bought GTA 3 from the bargain bin and I’ve been a complete sucker for it lately.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Lately
I’ve been playing a lot of Mafia. It’s a few years old, but it’s basically GTA in 1930s NYC.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
It's great.
It got like all 4 and 5 stars when it came out in either 2002 or 2003.
For some reason, I own the UK version. NO idea how I ended up with that.

Anything going on?
Yahoo is frakked for me. I’ll be listening to the game on the drive home shortly.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Ok, all... heading home
I’ll be on the radio for a bit and then watching from home.
Be back in a bit.

bunt does no good

Let him swing indeed.

Williams' voice is starting to sound
more and more like Joe Sr.’s.
Just without the burden of actually being enjoyable for others.
Drooooooooooooooooo!
RBI double!
Currently blaming the D-backs struggles on: this pain in all the diodes down my left side.
Weird
6 Ks in the first two innings for the Diamondbacks. Yeesh.
But, hey, a lead!
Currently blaming the D-backs struggles on: this pain in all the diodes down my left side.
Two quick outs for Webb
Nice.
Currently blaming the D-backs struggles on: this pain in all the diodes down my left side.
am i seeing things?
Or did Drew just mutter something about “f’ing missing fastballs” after that Young K.
Admittedly I may be projecting my thoughts (I mean strike 2 was RIGHT down the middle on 2-1 count) into Drew’s words, but i thought I saw something there.
Egads!
is it possible?
we’re winning? out of town?
be still, my heart.
=P
webb’s lookin top notch today, and i’m optimistic.
by emilylovesthedbacks on Jun 6, 2008 7:49 PM EDT reply actions
Always optimistic with Webb on the mound
Let’s just hope the offense doesn’t decide to stop at “1” again. :-(
Williams makes a good point,
about Upton wonkifying his swing and moving the bat upwards, instead of being on a level plane.
I hope to god that Upton didn’t take any hitting advice from Byrnes.
They showed the slow-mo
If Upton had just lowered his body in the load and then released his right hand in the afterswing, he would have had perfect flying none form.
80????
holy cow.

Because Melvin tells him to?
I suspect the question should really be, “Why does Melvin tell Snyder to bunt?”
I refuse to believe that Melvin could be that stupid.
For my own sanity I’m going to assume that Snyder is doing it on his own because some strange defensive alignment.
That’s probably the fourth time I’ve seen him try to put one down in the last week or so. It’s been awful every time.
Bunting in front of the pitcher
makes NO freaking sense, even in bizarro world.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Is that a good thing or not?
Given Jeter is typically seen as among the worst fielders ever to have won a Gold Glove…
Hence the sarcasm.
But it was very much in the Jeter mold. Most shortstops would make that play look a lot easier, but both Jeter and Drew have limited range to their right and end up pulling those throws off by the skin of their teeth – he even added a jump throw to boot!
He still gets props for making the most of his limited range.
I think that comment itself
Is pushing it Jim…lets not forget the Reynolds double play commnet ;)
So...time for another drink then?
We better get some Alexandria Schlereth interviews
during the games.
Personally, I think they should dump the Kid Kaster Katastrophe and have her in booth for those games.
Standup leadoff 3B for CY.
Nice.
Of course, now the next 3 batters will K.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
He only had three triples last year
It’s a bit puzzling – he must have an all or nothing approach that leads to either home runs, or gappers hit hard enough to give the fielders enough bounceback.
Hell, CJ has one more triple this season than Young has his entire career.
CY scores easily on O-Dawg's sac fly.
Bay ran into the wall right after catching it. Perfect.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
I think
Snell is beginning to tire in the fifth, as his pitch-count approaches ten million…

Holy crap....
through 4.1—102 pitches for Snell.
through 4—57 pitches for Webby.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Reynolds -- 3 pitch K.
In other news, it was hot in Arizona today….
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
I always pictured Byrnes
as the kind of guy that would call the bathroom “his office” and hold player meetings in it.
No, that isn’t a Larry Craig joke.
2 pitch out to lead off the 5th for Webby.
Weakest ground ball out EVER.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
soco's keys to half of the game
1) Listen on the radio
2) Flip through the 4 Ed. rules for Dungeons and Dragons that just came out
3) Go to dinner and see You Don’t Mess With the Zohan
4)Ignore the subsequent “DUR WHY WOULD YOUS SEE THAT MOVIE!?”
5)Dessert?

Can I, instead, protest your purchase of D&D 4th Edition?
Well, interest, I suppose, since I don’t think the actual books come out until next week. Not that anyone would peruse an illicit .pdf of such a product, of course…
Currently blaming the D-backs struggles on: this pain in all the diodes down my left side.
Well, I haven't played since 2nd
so I figured there was no point in holding on to the past. There’s alot of things I don’t recognize though, it’s going to be hard at first.
The SOS at my store was 6/6 so I put it out. I hope I didn’t break the date.
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
Well poop on that
maybe the D’backs’ll win to help you out.
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
Yeah.
I’m still going through some fallout from something that happened last night…..
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
That sucks
hopefully it will all work out for you. Hey, at least it’s the weekend, amirite?
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
Yeah.
Technically, it didn’t happen last night… I just found out about it.

High gate and oversaturated, very impressionist

Sorry, camera work
I’m just imagining a baseball game being photographed by a cinematographer like Tom Stern.

Dammit!!
Where’s Turambar?? I’ll bet he was JUST commenting about how Webby had a no-hitter….

Or at LEAST
thinking about commenting about how Webby had a no-hitter.

OMG....
Osoria’s shades are just TOO much. Looks like an alien.
Jupton gets plunked to lead off the inning.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Weird groundout by Snydes.
Ball was bouncing right, then left, then right again…. Upton went to 2nd on the play, even though it looked like a GIDP at first.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Almost as impressive as the single
is the fact that he ran the count full after going down 0-2.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Webb's 5th RBI of the year. 3-0.
Okay…. next batter needs to either K or HR. No baserunning for Webby, please.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Now that Webby
has that changeup, it’s really unfair for opposing hitters. One of the finest pitchers in the league, and suddenly he develops a NEW unhittable pitch.
Totally unfair.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Back to back
weak grounders to Webb to start out the 6th.
This has GOT to be frustrating for these guys…. you’re damned if you swing and miss, and you’re damned if you make contact.
Freddy Sanchez is very ugly, by the way. And I’m not just saying that because he just got the 2nd Bucs hit of the night.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Damn it
I got back just in time for Webb to give up a pair of hits.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Damn.
RBI double. 3-1.
Daron’s repeating what I JUST said about Webb running in the top of the 6th.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
I wonder who we got as the 1500th pick in the draft
today…
He’s got to hit better than Burke, right?
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Should make you laugh
that “Mr. Irrelevant”, the final pick in the NFL draft, is usually only in the 250s or 260s.

I am missing Gracie tonight
Williams just has that methadone quality to him.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Now that I'm looking at my quality
I think I meant that Williams has a halcyon quality, not a methadone quality. Ah well…
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Comment bot 2.1
Reynolds out on strikes. Beep beep boop.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
As soon as Reynolds got to 2 strikes,
you KNEW he was going to swing.

Webb had a margarita during that half inning
Now he’s loose and ready to go.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Did he join a sorority during the break too?
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
I didn't know if you were making fun of having a margarita
Or calling Webb loose.

The loose part in combination with alcohol
I loves me some margaritas, though.

Well, God knows I've known plenty of loose sorority girls.
Or, more accurately, a number of my friends in college knew them.

Hey, I'm funny
I’ll give you that, but I’m not nearly so attractive as my avatar.

At least he knows not to invade the Ukraine in winter.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
According to Wiki,
That’s mostly British propaganda. He was average height for the time period.

Hey, don't knock the pink!
We’ll slap you silly.
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
It's not that it's pink.
There’s a difference between having an attractive woman with pink hair and having an… err, attractive pink My Little Pony. One is manly. One is not.

No,
but this thread has now gone in an extremely odd direction.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.

Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Even though it's supposed to be great for a sinker
Webb seems to struggle with his stamina in hot and humid weather.
Don't we all
When I’m breathing soup I tend to move a bit slower.

Webby
Most ML IP since 2005, most ML wins, 3rd in ERA (Santana and Peavy), 3rd in CGs.
Not a bad guy to be currently underpaying….
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Yeah
There’s something nice about having the best pitcher in the game on the team.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
In other words we have no chance of signing him?
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
Josh Byrnes would have to be a blithering idiot
not to resign Webb. Forget Byrnes and Hudson; Webb is the face of the franchise.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
At this point if he asks for a platinum 747
that runs on ground black truffles filled with naked women that have been raised from birth to please him, I’d say it was a bargain.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Fortunately, won't happen.
He’s married.
Plus, I don’t think there’s an airfield in the entire state of Kentucky large enough to land a 747.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
Don't they have fields there?
Or are they all littered with pickups on blocks?
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
I'm not sure
I just looked it up on Google Maps and it says “Here there be dragons.”
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Then a 747 would be a bad idea
wouldn’t want the Viet Cong to shoot it down.
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
At least then
Webby could run for president in another 45 years.
Too far?
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
I haven't heard the media trumpet these facts
every second of the day, however. A good presidential candidate he will not make.

I was thinking "The Curveball Express"
But Webb’s not really known for his curveball.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Could he combine "sinker" with "economy?
Hey-oh!
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
He really likes it in AZ, and I definitely think he'd give us a discount.
I don’t think there’s ANY way we let him leave.
Granted, we may not resign him this year, but I’m pretty sure he’s a Dback for life.
Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.
He may like it, but how much of a discount?
The dude deserves mad money, money that even when discounted the D’backs might not be able to pay.
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
The single player
most responsible for any Dbacks’ success over the past 3+ seasons has been Brandon Webb. We NEED to resign him.

The chemistry between D-Sut and Williams is truly remarkable.

Williams – “Yeah, it’s been really good.”
Williams did seem to get animated

That reminds me
of the Chris Snyder interview this morning on KTAR.
Morning guy: What are you guys doing wrong during this slump?
Chris Snyder: We’re just not scoring more runs than the other guys.
MG: So what are you guys going to do to get out of this slump?
CS: Well, we’ll try and score more runs than the other guys.

Hey, whaddaya know? 4.5 game lead, and the Dodgers haven’t even lost yet! B.Webb 11-2, And only our 2nd W of the year when scoring 3 runs or fewer. (Both games pitched by Webb, of course)

I was going to put that I was happy they didn't do anything stupid on defense
and then checked the box score and saw an error.

Sadly, the TBS chapter at ASU has been defunct since the 70’s.

Georgetown, why? Alpha chapter.
Yeah, the DPE chapter at ASU’s been inactive since Vietnam, when Foreign Service became incredibly unpopular. In fact, Alpha was the only chapter that survived ‘Nam. There are a couple reactivated chapters now, though—GW and Cal, and some other schools like Occidental and Pacific are contemplating opening chapters.

As if the Starr/Barr connection weren’t coincidental enough, when Bill Clinton was at Gtown in the 60s, he tried to pledge—and we blackballed him.

I looked at the Wiki
and it didn’t say UofA as a chapter, so I took the assumption it had to be one of the DC schools, and then further assumed you must do grad at UofA.
"D'backs" means seatbelts! "D'backs" means crash positions!
A fair bit of detective work, to be sure.
The truth is slightly different, but close enough.

Holy poo
15 Sun Devils were picked in the MLB draft this year.

Osoria and Yates may not be available tomorrow and we are looking at Gorzelanny with a 7.22 ERA vs. Haren.
Didn't matter much
that Ian Snell’s ERA coming into this game was 5.94.
Can Stile4aly or someone repost this so foulpole will actually read it?

That was fun
We had a power outage here, so we had to drive around in the car for a bit until the game finished. :-) Normal service has been resumed: Mrs. SnakePit has gone to get Chinese, and I see the Gameday Thread comments were of the usual high-standard, covering drunken sorority girls, pudding, and our players engaging in S+M fun with each other. Sorry I missed it, to lob in a few Melissa Joan Hart references.
Recap to follow…tomorrow, I think. I will have plenty of time then. But good to see us start with a win: hopefully, we can build on that going forward, and perhaps also get the Dodgers to keep losing.
It seems I'm a bad influence
sorry, Jim.

I think the plan
is that she raises them in safety, while I get very strictly monitored visits.

Plan has been scrapped
I work at a preschool, I am tired of kids. I have them, you wake up with them, I sleep. :)
I like new plan.
Ooo. Or Nanny. (But not hot female nanny, ugly female or hot male you decide.)
I have been colonized.
6 ugly females and 6 hot male nannys
Funnily enough they will all be named Raoul
I have been colonized.
This is what happens
when we allow women to post on the GameDay Thread.

Oh no.
I won’t throw something at you now that takes the fun out of everything. I will throw it at you eventually for now, I just wait.
:D

Damn. This is going to be a bit torturous.
Didn’t this happen in Family Guy once?

Don’t try to jump through any car windows around mrssoco.
Currently blaming the D-backs struggles on: this pain in all the diodes down my left side.
And that’s why you never fit in with the Duke family.

Oh, dear me.
Even though I was born in VA? So technically, I’m a Reb?

If soco were to have any offspring,
they would be a threat to him.
That’s why your children will remain safely anonymous.

WTF?!?
Karl Ravech, announcing the Arizona-UF game just said “the injury to Schlereth has certainly affected how the [the UA coach] operates.
No,
he just gave it a passing comment as non-Schlereth reliever was relieved by another non-Schlereth reliever in the ninth inning of a tie game with no outs and a runner on second.
Also, the game is now in extras. I would recommend it to anyone that’s still in front a television – it’s on ESPN.
