Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside...
That was a nice break: four days is the Diamondbacks' longest time without a defeat since May 16. And now, we have Tony 'Mufasa' Clark back in the dugout, so I confidently expect us to go 67-0 the rest of the way. Though it's probably best if Clark avoids rock-climbing with his brother, until after the season is over...
Overall, I do think this will make the team better, simply by providing someone with pop on the bench, something sadly lacking of late. The current residents of the pine, Burke, Bonifacio, Hammock, Ojeda and Romero, have combined for zero home-runs and only fifteen extra-base hits in 335 at-bats this season. I am also prepared to bet that Clark's OPS will be better than the .521 posted by Burke so far this season. I am optimistic that he is the most likely recipient of a ticket to DFAville - Clark is hardly going to replace Bonifacio or Ojeda at second, Hammock behind the plate or Romero in the outfield.
We start with a crucial series against the Dodgers, with the leadership of the division on the line, and then what will probably be an even tougher one against the Cubs. There are some very intriguing pitching match-ups coming in the next week. Tomorrow will be a cracker, with Dan Haren facing Chad Billingsley, and Sunday sees a battle of the ground-ballers, as Brandon Webb goes up against Derek Lowe. I think we have a narrow, but perceptible, edge in both of those; we'll be hoping Haren continues his brilliant form of the first half, with an ERA of 1.45 over eight outings since the start of June.
Today, Kuroda faces Doug Davis: while both men have similar ERAs over their past seven starts [3.35 for Kuroda vs. 3.74 for Davis], but got there by radically different means. Kuroda has three shutout appearances, including a one-hitter against Atlanta; two quality starts; and two flops. Davis, has been much more consistent, rarely being brilliant or awful, yet falling just one out short of giving the Diamondbacks six quality starts in a row. Particularly good, his WHIP over these six outings is 1.24, a significant improvement over early on this year - or, indeed, the previous couple of seasons. Is is sustainable? We'll find out tonight.
Chris Snyder will be making - somewhat gingerly, I suspect - a rehab start for Visalia tonight, but if that goes well, he could be back in the lineup later in the series, which will certainly be a boost. Justin Upton's return is still in doubt, and will likely be made shortly before gametime. Melvin said after a workout yesterday, "We'll take this workout to see. He's done a little bit of tee work. I don't know if I'm comfortable with where he was and we'll have a decision to make with him tomorrow." If he's unable to play, maybe we will see Jackson in left, Tracy in right and Clark at first?
Finally, a little nugget from Baseball Prospectus. You might think our outfield is offensively weak, but Andruw Jones currently has more than twice as many strikeouts as hits (59 to 27). in the last 50 years, there have been just six other players to do the same in a season of at least 180 plate appearances. Worse yet, he has only 41 total bases. If you divide strikeouts by total bases, Jones comes up with the third-highest ratio (min. 180 PA) in the last 50 years. The only players with a worse ratio are two obscure shortstops from the late '60s: Darrel Chaney, who struck out 75 times while collecting 49 total bases in his rookie season for the '69 Reds, and Oyler, who whiffed 59 times versus 40 total bases for the '68 Tigers.
Definitely going to be about for most of this series; while a Dark Knight trip is being contemplated at some point this weekend, that probably won't be during peak hours, as a busy cinema is not our idea of fun. Getting this up very early, to give us a forum to chat about the series, the return of Big Tony, and the Batman flick.

Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends
Who sings that song? Thanks.
It's like living with a six-year old.
Did you see Dark Knight, or did you just want to add a laugh track to the end of all your comments?
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
I haven't yet
But I figured in honor of the movie, I’d jokerize some things.

You mean reruns of the 2007 World Poker Championships aren’t “something?”
What about a rerun of the D-Backs/Padres July 4th game? Why, oh why did they have to rerun that one?

Man, new season of Psych, part 3 of Dr. Horrible, and the return of baseball. It’s going to be an exciting evening.

Dr. Horrible
Made of awesomeness and win.
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
I do think that Clark will improve our bench. He is an upgrade over all of the guys you named.
You would also have to believe he is happy to be back in Sedona red. Tracy has played some right field in the past. Has anyone heard who we are sending down yet? I can’t find anything on it.

I believe
The radio said Upton is being DL’d to free up a spot for Clark temporarily. Make the Jackson, Young and Tracy outfield more likely…

soco's keys to the game
1) Watch the game while I wait for the wife to come home
2) Watch movies of secret nature
3) Dessert?
By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
Tonight's lineup
Refreshingly Burke-free:
- S. Drew ss .264
- C. Jackson lf .300
- O. Hudson 2b .302
- C. Tracy 1b .309
- M. Reynolds 3b .249
- M. Montero c .262
- C. Young cf .228
- A. Romero rf .250
- D. Davis p .111
Still not exactly impressed with the lower-half of that order. We need Young to start hitting – or, at least, getting on-base – at a decent clip.
Anyone going to the game?
I want a sign out there that says “Our struggling center fielder batting seventh is better than your struggling center fielder batting seventh!”
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
So you know Sarah Schallenberger?
SMALL WORLD
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
Yeah, we went to high school together
It is a bizarrely small world, at times.

I want a sign that says
“Our Team Has Three Hitters, Four on a Good Night, Does Yours?”

I'd go with
“First one to score wins, ok?”

The early big contracts for Young and Tool-man
are looking pretty silly right about now.

So
FSN are counting down the top 50 moments in D-backs history. #50 = Greg Colbrunn’s cycle. Does anyone have the slightest doubt which will be #1?
Episode 1 of the Eric Byrnes show?
I’d be torn between Randy’s perfect game and Gonzo’s World Series-Winning bloop single.

Those will probably go 1 and 2

There's a lot of room
for sarcastic answers to that, but I’ll restrain myself.
That is one great thing about baseball, and the fact that you play so many games. Even in a terrible season you almost always have an awesome moment to remember.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
And a little blooper
Base Hit! Diamondbacks are World Champions!
After growing up in DC and having to deal with the Orioles in perpetual 4th place, having a championship won within a year of moving to Phoenix turned me into a bonafide D’backs fan. I watched every game of the 111 loss season, but I think they’ve been tougher to watch this year than any time in the past. There is so much talent not being utilized.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Stile4aly's keys to the game
1) Enjoy the game from the AZsnakepit forum, which I haven’t been able to do lately
2) Avoid kidding about killing Bob Melvin
3) Steak.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Mmmm...
Steak…
Probably on Sunday, as that’s our sixth wedding anniversary. I sense a trip to Black Angus. :-)

Steak for us
will probably Saturday when our new grill arrives.

Then you could play for the Diamondbacks
when can you report?
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
That's 1st half thinking
It’s like pre 9/11 thinking. No matter how right it is, you’re not allowed to do it anymore.

Upton confirmed on the DL
“He just wasn’t in a position last night even when we had him in the cage taking some tee swings where he couldn’t let it go,” Melvin said. “How long it will be I’m not sure.”
Not that any one cares
but eBay is banned from selling LVMH perfumes (Dior, Kenzo, Guerlain, et cetera). This could have pretty big ramifications down the road.
EDIT: Oh dadnabbit people!
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
LVMH
is one of the largest luxury goods companies, and the fact that eBay is now banned from selling their product is pretty huge. This opens the door for other companies to follow suit, if you’ll excuse the pun.
EDIT: Dammit, I’m not talking about this anymore. Both times I start to write a run scores.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
Ah, makes sense
I imagine down to the number of counterfeits there?
by Jim McLennan on Jul 18, 2008 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions
It's half that
and half that the luxury market would very much like to control every aspect of the distribution. When I was a perfume vendor we’d have to destroy bags and product that could be donated simply because the companies didn’t want their brands to be watered down.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
Talk about
an industry that does absolutely nothing good for society. It’s like the diamond cartel.

This isn't quite
How I wanted to start the second-half of the season.
Williams was saying it might take a while for Davis to get the hang of his breaking ball after the long lay-off.
It certainly isn’t taking the Dodgers long to get the hang of it.
I think he has plenty of hang with it
that might be the problem.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
This could be an early night
We could make some inroads into the unwatched DVD pile instead…
Davis falling behind another hitter.
I rented three movies tonight
and only expected to watch two, but I fear this may not be the case.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
Which movies?
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
Two of them are
Charade and the other is Some Like It Hot. I don’t want to say the third one in case the wife pops in, as it is a surprise.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
Okay, maybe I don't want to know.
Don't blink; blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck!
I realized today
that I’ve never seen a Marilyn Monroe vehicle and vowed to fix that.

Good call on Charade.

Why didn’t we start Webb tonight? I know he pitched an inning on Tues. but we should have started with him.
He's not getting
Much help from the umpire, it has to be said. Getting squeezed by the umpire on the corners, which is where Davis needs to live to be effective.
Not exactly effective

Awful
Another hit – another error, possibly two – and we’re 3-0 down. Doesn’t look like the break did our defense any favors.
Apparently they spent the break
playing at Chuck E Cheese and Castles & Coasters instead of doing any defensive drills.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
It still works
as I was going to say he was at home bounching balls of a wall to field while everyone else was at Chuck E Cheese.

Should T.C. be nominated to replace Saint Penolope? Has anyone even checked what he looks like in a two piece?
How demoralizing is this for the Dodgers
First, you get a three-run lead on the road in a series to determine first place and then you dump the inning when you should have gotten at least two more runs and then your pitcher gives up a 4-spot on a bunch of singles.
