Dback Drinking Game
In order to get through the rest of the season, I think we need a Diamondbacks drinking game. I didn't see one elsewhere. Here are some rules to get us started...
There are 2 players or teams, a home and a visitor
If the opposition gets any kind of hit - you take 1 drink; if they score a run - take a drink
If your team commits an error - drink
If the error later gets changed to a hit - opposition takes 2 drinks
A drink is required whenever Grace says "Gas" (the batting team), "Car" (whichever team is responsible for the delay), or "Oh dear" (whichever team was at the wrong end of the play)
If your team's batter breaks his bat and the announcers complain that the bat is maple - drink
If Byrnes dives, somersaults, or otherwise leaves his feet in an exaggerated way, drink...if he still makes the play - opposition also drinks (guess this one's on hold for awhile)
Pitching change on your team - change your drink
If Walsh asks someone in the crowd to express their feelings about something unrelated to baseball - both sides drink
If Haren is pitching and the announcers speculate that he'll come back with the same pitch because he's stubborn - drink...if he strikes the batter out - opposition drinks
If your manager gets ejected - finish you drink; if your player charges the mound - opposition finishes drink
Anyway, this is just a starting point, could probably use several more before compiling the official rules. Suggestions?

Excellent idea.
Also, take a drink everytime Melvin puts somebody with an OBP below .320 at leadoff.
Take a drink everytime Mark Reynolds strikes out. However, everytime he hits a HR, the opposition has to take an extra drink.
Take a drink everytime Mark Grace says something creepy about an underage girl.
Take a drink anytime Gracie mentions ‘za.
Anytime a Dback steals a base, the opposition has to drink. Everytime a Dback gets CS, you take a drink. However, if an opposition runner gets CS by one of OUR catchers, the opposition takes 2 drinks.
Anytime ANYONE mentions “aggressive baserunning”, take a drink. Anytime a Diamondbacks hitter swings on a 3-0 count, take three drinks.
Take a drink whenever somebody mentions how much better we play at home.
Opposition takes a drink anytime they try to run and Upton gets an outfield assist.
Finally, finish your drink everytime the Dbacks lose because of a dumb Bob Melvin decision—leaving an obviously gassed pitcher out there to get a win, bringing in Chad Qualls with RISP, bringing in Micah Owings to pinch hit with a runner on 3rd and 1 out, etc.

Haha, those are perfect
...or anytime Walsh indicates that he’s “made new friends”, everyone drinks…

You know
There’s just an easier way to do this… just start drinking and don’t stop.
Fire Bob Melvin. Free Jamie D'Antona. Eric Byrnes Sucks.

As usual,
Ben decides to cynically take the fun out of everything. :-D

That can be the in-park version
to give the benefit of the doubt.

If Hudson follows up a terrible play with a brilliant one, opposition drinks. If it’s the other way around, he follows up a brilliant play with a terrible one, Dback side drinks…if Hudson laughs about the mistake, take an extra drink.
If a fan catches the ball with anything other than bare hands, take a drink.

Same rule should apply for Justin Upton, too.

Everytime Daron Sutton makes a very smooth segue into commercial...
opposing team drinks.
If he botches the transition such as “It’s a scoreless game… or it was, before the DBacks scored, and its a 1-0 game.,” then DBacks side drinks.

Wouldn't it be more torturous
to not drink during game?
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.

True.
So, let’s shake it up a little—you have to drink pure everclear.

On second thought,
I suddenly feel legally liable for dozens of possible alcohol poisonings. Scratch that.

Wood alcohol instead?

Hmmm, good idea.
AFAIK, it’s a lot harder to kill yourself with methanol. You just go blind, instead.

And then you can tell people what kind of motorcycles are driving by!
Seriously, those guys seem so impressed. How do they know he isn’t just making it all up?

Yeah, he finally blows it
After he calls “2001 Gilroy Indian Scout,” when it was actually a landscaper using a leaf-blower across the street…

He’s pretty annoying to live with, I bet.
“1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, with th-”
“Shut up, man, it’s just an episode of Knight Rider. We’re not impressed.”

"1980 Delorean..."
Yeah, we get it. Back to the Future.
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.

What do we eat in the 7th inning stretch?
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
