PrintWho was it said Reynolds couldn't learn anything at Tucson? How about learning to field the frickin' baseball? Dodged a bullet in the ninth. Let's see if we can rescue this one... Fresh start...

Let's hope they can pull this one out
So I don’t have to go to sleep pissed off.
Dear Josh Byrnes: Please DFA Chris Burke. Give D'antona a chance. Trade for someone that actually knows how to hit.

So...
Anyone have insight on “My 3 Errors”, as it is? Were they unjust or what?
...from a guy with no tv :(
He dropped the ball on one play
in the last inning. Didn’t see the other ones.

Only saw the second and third
But he basically clanked them. First should have been a double-play, too. Entirely justified.

knowing melvin
he won’t pull reynolds
they should take away his manager of the year because he is so bad this year
He just got a double
what say you now?
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
What the hell guys
I left you onnnnnnnnne assignment.
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
Reynolds!
RBI Double! That helps make up for it.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
I said it helps.
It doesn’t completely make up for it.
I’m sure Haren would agree with me that a win for the team is what matters.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Ah bloo bloo
I just want a win, I don’t care who gets it.

Wrong spot.
Supposed to go under
no it doesn’t
haren doesn’t win still.
The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
I thought the blame was on Melvin?
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Burke.
Burke did it.
Screw you Burke.
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

If we go back a bit, I think we could pin it on Gonzo, too.

Colangelo
and can we throw in a healthy dash of Shaq?

I'd like to blame Sexton
not that I’m still mad about that trade or anything
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
We'll go with it.
Should we add in Troy Glaus?

Please pay careful attention here- I want a full of accounting of all those responsible in the post-game report.

I’d say, “sick burn” but I’m not sure he’d take it as an insult, more like a statement.

Reynolds should never have been in position to "redeem" himself.
The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Sheesh
Where was this offense while Haren was pitching. Baseball is so unfair sometimes
No sour grapes or anything...
But that’s almost as many runs in this one extra frame as the entire series to this point.
I’m sure Haren is thrilled.
hopefully they will put Augie at 3rd now...

Marlins take an early lead against the Dodgers
So, there’s that.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
it cracks me up a bit....
how Sutton calls out the Dodgers score like it’s the last couple weeks of the season…. as if we’re in a pennant race….... maybe do it now instead of when we’re 10 down in September
What else do you want?
The team is desperately holding on to a place at the top of the division, so I’d think people would want to know if that was about to change.

they have actually been desperately trying to give away the division lead….but the Dodger keep sucking almost as bad as us…...

curious on your thoughts
if Barca should release Ronnie to play on national team during Olympics….. I personally would love to see him play – not the same Ronaldinho - but still…...
Yes they should...
but what is actually happening is that every european team has got an issue with CBF (Confederação Brasileira de Futebol)...
that’s why Milan always try to hold Kaka…
and Barça is doing the same with Ronaldinho…
It involves health issues and bonus payments…

Well I give Ronaldinho credit
for wanting to compete for the national team —and hope that he can come to an agreement with Barca – it will be interesting to watch – I imagine this team will be similar to the Copa America team less a few of the veterans --
That was a wild three innings

Actually, I have a glass half-full thought ---
this is a graph of the D-backs season in reverse….The first hump on the right is April – the drop is May, the next climb is the run we’re about to go on during July – we then nose dive in August…. recover in September…. and then win the World Series in October?

Well...
Couldn’t get the GDT thread to work right about when it went to 5-2, so I didn’t have the chance to say it as things unraveled, but I think it still applies:
What the fuck?!
Sure, at the end that was replaced by “yay,” but I still don’t feel that great about this game for some reason. Maybe because of how devastating it would have been to lose it if they’d blown the 7-5 lead too, iono.
Blame Melvin
Blame Reynolds
Blame Canada
Yeah, losing it would have sucked, but look at it as a chance for our offense to go into Philadelphia hitting the ball well. Admittedly, against the Nats ‘pen, but the Phillies’ stadium is a biscuit-box beside this one.

I’m not ecstatic either, but there were a couple bright spots:
Chad Qualls is starting to recover.
Some of the position players appeared to use their own mistakes to motivate themselves. Not exactly a silver lining (maybe a tin lining), but it’s great to see them do something more than roll over and die.
They're not even a real country anyway!
Dear Josh Byrnes: Please DFA Chris Burke. Give D'antona a chance. Trade for someone that actually knows how to hit.

I agree with you on all counts, except...
They produced Steve Nash. Well, his parents did. But still, it’s hard for me to be upset with the country that gave us Steve Nash.
Aren't his parents English, though
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
Technicalities.
That’s like saying “wasn’t Shawn Marion at $17 million better than Shaq at $20 million?”
Your 100% correct statements have no place in this discussion.
Desperately seeking tech help!
So I have a audio drama I put on my iPod but it doesn’t seem to work, yet it works perfectly fine in iTunes. The iPod recognizes the files, and will pull them up, but instead of playing any of them, it just skips on by each one.
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
I’m not sure what types of files iTunes plays, but are they a file type that’s compatible with iTunes, but not compatible with an iPod?
Or do they have a DRM system that keeps them from being played on remote devices or more than one computer?
Interesting game in Texas
Rangers and Angels tied at ten after ten. The Angels have posted double figures all the way across the board: runs, hits, RBI, walks, strikeouts and LOB! D-backs have managed that only once in their history, the second game of a double-header, August 20th, 1998…in Philadelphia. Is that some kind of omen?
