Gameday Thread, #92: 7/10 vs. Nationals
Arizona Diamondbacks @ Washington Nationals
|
|
Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Well, we'll see what this brings, and perhaps we can manage to score a run off a starter - who has managed one victory in a dozen starts this season. The good news is, Dan Haren was part of a shutout last time he faced the Nationals, so when you put that and the Nationals offense against our offense and a pitcher-friendly park... We are probably looking at 25-30 innings and a 1-0 win, on an unearned run after a backup catcher falls unconscious in the middle of an inning.
No, I'm not exactly optimistic here, but we'll see.

I'm optimistic about today's game
I think the offense may actually show up for this one, backed by strong outing by Haren.
Dear Josh Byrnes: Please DFA Chris Burke. Give D'antona a chance. Trade for someone that actually knows how to hit.

I’m thinking positive today. Got to hang out with my little sister for the first time in a year, going to see Hellboy II tonight, a D-backs win would fit in the middle there to make a pretty good day.

This Bergmann guy...
is really going to have to serve up some fat meatballs if this offense is going to do anything. But, I’m cautiously optimistic that he might just be the man for the job.

Middle of the pack if they’re playing up to potential, or middle of the pack right now?

Would everyone be pissed if I called for a Haren no-hitter?
Same situation as Webb. There’s nobody outside of Young on the Nats that should be able to hit the ball out of the infield off of a decent pitcher.

So never received the polishing that goes with it. Don’t forget, he wasn’t brough up from Double-A because of his talent – simply because every 3B ahead of him was injured.

Major League
No question. So many great lines.
When I was a kid, we taped Major League off TV and, through some editing, removed the annoying romance subplot. Years later, I watched it on TV and was really confused at why I had no memory of part of the movie.

"Back here live at the Waterfront Village with my friend the zombie, Jonathon," says correspondent Nancy Francis. "You're looking good, Jonathon. Jonathon just got an awesome face paint job. What do you think?"
Jonathon does not need to mull this one for long. Jonathon turns to the reporter and says, in a voice that is both flat and emphatic:
"I like turtles."

If we are the dining dead
You can try and explain it, but be assured I will give you the blank look and probably say something like, “Kay.” over and over again.

It can be me blathering on about stuff you find boring and you being like, “Really? Sure. Yea.”

Ah yes!
This was already a topic of dinner zone out! I remember parts of it, but mostly because they then RE brought out different worlds again, didn’t they? That is a bit ridiculous. “No, just one earth now. Except for this next one cause we got bored.”

That's why I hate DC comics.
At least with marvel’s parallel universes, they don’t randomly get destroyed.

It made sense at the time
but then they realized the error and tried to fix it, and just screwed everything up. On the other hand, I’m not really a fan of how everything in Marvel bumps into each other. I don’t really care if Moon Knight knows the Punisher.

Playing in the lower division should help...
If the DBacks played in AAA they might not be too bad anymore.
