Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Important to win this one, otherwise we are guaranteed to have a losing record going into the All-Star break. This puts a lot of weight onto the Big Unit's shoulder, as he goes for career win #289 #290 - sorry, force of habit, after it took him nine attempts to get the last one. I'm certainly hoping to see him go deep into the game, as the bullpen is stilll icing its collective elbow, after the burden of back-to-back extra-inning games.
The lineups are given above; some shakeup, with Drew batting leadoff, and Mark Reynolds returning to third-base after his "mental health" day of rest, which will hopefully clear his mind of the cobwebs which plagued him on Thursday. Again, however, the bottom half of the order is not one that strikes much fear in me; in the past three weeks, he's batting .186 [13-for-70], with only five walks. He has one home-run since the start of June too. He certainly isn't looking like the long-term solution in CF right now.
Should be about for almost all of this one. I like Saturday afternoon games. There will be beer, snacks and, let's hope, a Diamondbacks win, with Johnson continuing the return to form shown in his last start.

Not that the ump would have called it
but why did Young run around the catcher on that dropped 3rd strike? Wouldn’t that be interference?
He didn't want
to get called FOR interference if he hits the catcher.
DFA Chris Burke. Sign Barry Bonds.
Not a bad start at all
Two runs is a help, and the lack of Chase Utley is no bad thing either. Of course, Young goes down swinging to end the inning – and I sense a 1-2-3 for us in the second. Still, that’d turn the order over to the decent half of the lineup again…
I'll see your 1-2-3
and raise you a struck out side

Solid work by Johnson
The first hit worried me, but he picks the runner off, gets the next one swinging and, then, after a total fluke of a bloop by Rollins, K’s the HR leader in their first ever face-off. Good work, though a few too many pitches, perhaps.
I am not here, I am totally packing
But if I WAS here, I would say that it is weird not hearing Gracie and/or Sutton ramble. I know some people don’t love them, but other commentators seem a bit bland.
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
You're packing?
Remind me not to tease you anymore. Is that how you keep soco in line?

The only responses I can come up with are perverted so instead I say
I WISH it was packing heat, instead it is packing, IN THE HEAT.

soco's keys to the game
1) Pack boxes
2) Make non sequiturs
3) Dessert?
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
What’s with Romero at the plate? He keeps doing this thing where, as soon as the pitcher releases the ball, he obviously relaxes, because he’s not going to swing. Is he that good at recognizing the pitch, or does he just always decide before the pitch if he’ll swing or not?

But I won’t be around much in the GDT unless something amazing happens.

I'm getting scared to post praise

We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
Johnson pouring in the strikes
21 in 27 pitches. If he can keep up that kind of rate, we might get seven innings out of him. The bullpen would be very, very grateful for that. Be nice to get a few more runs though, just in case of a Johnson meltdown.
Speaking of which, one of the Fox keys to the game was “Not your father’s Big Unit.” I believe a conventions of psychiatrists is now being planned to discuss the psycho-sexual ramifications of that one…
So this might be a good time to mention
that I did my first two open water dives this morning…. and I’m still feeling a little weird, so my posts might be even more randon and strange than usual.

Back to square one. All tied, six innings to go. Let’s see if the middle of our order can do any better than the top did last time. Eaton seems to have settled down a bit.
I feel like CY's suck is sorta flying under the radar.
Maybe because we already expect his BA to be low, and because it’s pretty much understood that he’s our everyday CF, but the break couldn’t come at a better time for him.

Very nice
That at-bat by Johnson was a thing of beauty. It’d have been a triple, except he had to stop ar first and ask directions…
Good to get to the Phillies pen early – they worked 5.2 innings last night as well, so can’t be happy about having to come in during the fourth.

I went on three dates
With three separate guys who then (with in like 2 months or so) ended up dating my friend Zach. Plus one of my serious boyfriends I am pretty sure is ready to come out of the closet but just a little waiting for his family.
I call myself the Litmus test. Thankfully soco passed! :)

Funny story
When I first met the women that would become my wife, she wondered if I was gay for a while. Pretty much because I’m a big flirt, and I spent a lot of time flirting with the gay guy who hung out with us a lot.
Actually, he asked me out the same day that my wife and I started dating.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
HAH!
Well, I may or may not have considered him being gay because he is a huge flirt as well and he is in a Sorority and yes. Also, I think I liked him and that is never a good sign for a guys sexuality, as previously mentioned. ;)
But that is brilliant. Tell me someone told that one at the wedding!
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
That's weird....
When I worked at Chase bank, we had a regular who was… well, pretty openly gay. Not too flamboyant or anything, but it was pretty obvious, and he joked about it.
He also used to flirt with me all the time. It was…. kinda scary.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
On a slightly less weird note,
I have very bad lesbian gaydar, and I’ve hit on them quite a few times before.
Made out with one once accidentally, too…. took her a few seconds to realize what was going on.

After the past few games, I’m starting to feel more optimistic about our bats.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Yup.
Even the games where we’ve been getting 10+ hits and still losing.
We’re taking baby steps—first, we were getting 10+ hits but only scoring like 3 runs. Then, we were getting 10+ hits, 5+ runs, but losing close.
Maybe now we’ll start winning, and return to the good life.

Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
That was his hand
oddly enough, I can only ever remember Super Star Destroyers referred to as Super-class or Executer-class. Reading the wiki article, though, it seems they are now Star Dreadnaughts, which doesn’t make much sense to me because Dreadnaught heavy cruisers are completely different ship. They’re even from different from shipyards, the SSD from Kuat and the Dreadnaught from Rendili.
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
Oh my g-d
My kids are going to need pocket protectors from day six, aren’t they?
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
The Dreadnaught is totally different, and from an earlier era.
Technically (as it’s argued) the Executor is a specific ship in the Super Star Destroyer style of ship. The Star Dreadnaught is a classification of any ship of (roughly) that size or bigger, so it includes the Eclipse class.
Of course, the original Eclipse was called the “Eclipse class super star destroyer”, if I remember right, so it’s mainly a lot of fanwank at this point.
That’s my general understanding, without making the half-assed effort to look it up.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Yup
i’ve spent a lot of time reading Star Wars books and playing Star Wars video games.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Not quite
it seems Star Dreadnaughts are only for the various SSD’s made by Kuat Drives, nevermind the fact that their rival built the unrelated Dreadnaughts. Apparently there is no such thing as Intellectual Property law in the Star Wars universe.
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
I guess what I'm trying to say
is why did they switch over the terminology? For a long time they were just SSD’s and then they were Executor class, and then so on.
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
According to Wookieepedia, the term first showed up about three years ago.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
I read that too
which might be why the term seems so strange to me. I stopped caring much about the EU a little before that.

Yeah, that’s around when I stopped, too. I sort of gave up during the New Jedi Order books. And the latest storyline has annoyed me quite a bit.

One of my favorite moments in the books was in one of the X-Wing books, where some of Rogue Squadron are in flight simulators on a training mission, and the author uses one of the first missions from the TIE Fighter game. It was a nice, subtle thing that a lot of people probably didn’t notice.

Nine straight men
Reached base. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that by Arizona:
- A. Romero singled to center
- R. Hammock walked, A. Romero to second
- R. Johnson doubled to deep left, R. Hammock and A. Romero scored
- S. Drew walked
- C. Jackson doubled to deep left, R. Johnson scored, S. Drew to third
- O. Hudson intentionally walked
- R.J. Swindle relieved A. Eaton
- C. Tracy singled to center, S. Drew and C. Jackson scored, O. Hudson to third
- M. Reynolds homered to deep center, O. Hudson and C. Tracy scored
- C. Young singled to center
Well....
statistically, I believe that actually 1 in 9 people is gay, so we can’t be sure that it WAS 9 straight men.

Why do you differ?
Stalingrad destroyed most of the Nazis’ experienced panzer divisions, and Kursk finished off almost all of them.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
However
Without the Western front, and the increasing hammering from Airstrip One, they would have been able to devote all their resources to the Russians – including their Air Force, which was vastly superior to the Russians. However, the RAF [happy 90th!] took out a good chunk, and another portion had to hang around Germany to try and counter the bombing.

Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
sat in front of a guy
at a Cubs/Dbacks game last summer who was quite intoxicated, and yelling at everyone.
The best part was him yelling at Diamondback fans walking to their seats when he was the only Cubs fan in the section.

I saw Ronnie Woo-Woo
during the playoffs last year and wanted to freak out. I kept my cool, though.
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
This was also the game
Where we were like 20 rows back from Byrnes and I was already paranoid enough that we would be heard.

I will leave that to him
Cause I would mess it up. ;)

people are stupid!
it’s your own fault if you’re sitting close and not paying attention and get pegged.

Except
If the bats weren’t as fragile as they are, it wouldn’t be as big of an issue.
I’m all for paying attention to the game, but the problem in this instance is the bats, not the fans.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
That's not the issue
the issue is that maple bats are so fragile that someone will be needless injured, whether they are paying attention or not.

Whoops
Just a bit outside.

Shut up, EA Sports

True!
Throw a couple scotches down my throat and he is TOAST….

I've already been drinking the scotch
he is buttered and jammed(jellied to you USAian weirdos)

Jam is still jam here
But your jelly isn’t our jelly.

I was monitoring the # of comments,
but the thread wasn’t really dragging or anything.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
I could post some
gifs and really kill the thread.

that's my job
I’m still saving up the gay Spidermen
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.
I don't have any gay
Spidermen. I have some other surprises, though.

Great commentary on the Twins-Tigers game
“That the one thing Sheffield has always provided- presence and production.”
Um, that’s two things.

Nice game...
Now if I can actually finish that post on Jamie D’antona before the nights over, we’ll really be in business

I'm sure he is.
I’ve just been surprisingly busy with other things(like installing a new dishwasher), so it’s taken me longer than usual to get it done.

I'm telling you,
99.5% says it’s something with the airflow, even if the filter IS clean.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
There was an obstruction in the air flow
It’s still freezing over though, just slightly less often.

Yeah,
at one point right after the ASB last year, we were only 2 games over .500, weren’t we?
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
Okay
It is definitely beginning to grind now. I’m off to write up the report, and then maybe watch the last Harry Potter film or the Simpsons movie. See you all tomorrow!
I still haven't see the simpsons movie
Or the last two harry potter movies. Of course, I never got around to reading any of the books past the fourth one. I guess I’ll see the rest of movies when I get around to reading the rest of the books

Really?
I was going to guess that hiring some thugs to break into your house and steal a bunch of your stuff would do it, but I guess your suggestion is a lot easier.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Hmmm.... yeah,
in my case, that would piss me off more.

But right at the moment, being stood up is pretty damn high on the list.
