"Who will survive, and what will be left of them?"
That was the tagline to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - the original, not the Michael Bay-produced suckfest of a remake - but could equally well apply to the bullpens of the two sides here. The Dodgers relief corps went for nine innings, and used everyone, while the Diamondbacks threw one frame less, while Chad Qualls was our only arm not thrown into the game. And it wasn't for a want of any desire, more a twinge suffered while warming-up. Both sets of pitchers will be on their knees before their respective starters, demanding at least six innings, ideally more.
Basically, with the teams tied, whatever happened in the first 96 games of the season is no longer particularly relevant: it's whoever wins more of the remaining 66 who will be going to the playoffs, as simple as that. I am continuing to feel that our offense is heading in the right direction, and their feasting on Kuroda last night was a good sign. But, Davis's outing was a serious step backwards, and shifts him towards a back end of the rotation that posed as many questions as it answered over the first half of the season. We - for a myriad of reasons - need a serious bounceback outing from Haren today. In 2007, he was brilliant before the break, but only average after it; today will be the first step towards seeing if he can sustain the brilliance shown for us down the stretch.
We're heading out for an early dinner, so may not be about for the very start of this, but intend to be back before too much of the game has passed. Wonder if we'll hit four figures in comments again? I think we'd trade that for a win.

I have a date
with the Clown Prince of Crime tonight, so you all will have to hold down the fort.
HAaHAaHahAhhAhhahAHahAHAHAhAhhahHHahAHAHahhAHAhAHAHAha!
And I have a date with a bunch of girls
But I will be like across the way from Chase Field so I will send all my good vibes towards the game. (Well, the ones I am not sending at the MIGHTY MERCURY!)
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Oh no! :(
Normally I would root for the Mercury but they’re playing the DREAM!! The poor Dream need all the help they can get!! I have an in-law connection to them so I daren’t support anybody else.

But… but… but… MIGHTY MERCURY. MIGHTY MERCURY.
... Oh I will forgive you. For now. (I will just cheer a little harder.)
This video makes me tear up. My family went to rallies, helped get people to sign petitions and did a CRAZY lot to get the Mercury here. We have had season tickets for 11 years.
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Don’t worry, the Dream are terrible, you will have no problem beating them. But at least let it be a CLOSE game!! They need a little encouragement.

Hmmm.....
not a WNBA fan, personally. Kinda see it as a second rate league of a sport that I don’t much like to begin with. ::ducks::
I will admit that the “Phoenix Mercury” really is a great name for a sports team, though.

I have a date with my suitcase.
Gotta pack, heading home tomorrow..
Also a date with a lot of email I really should be taking care of… :(
In other news,
at least we didn’t lose last night by a walk-off bases-loaded HBP, like the A’s did to the Yankees today. That’s pretty sad.
i have a date
With a large pepperoni pizza, extra cheese.
I think we’ll both be very happy.
Well, I will, anyway… :-)
I'll be spending tonight's game
searching for textbooks online for cheap.
Because I can’t afford $400 for one semester’s worth of textbooks from the NAU bookstore.

Textbook shopping is always painful! Does your bookstore’s website give you the option of used books? Also, of course check half.com…

TERMINATOR SALVATION: THE FUTURE BEGINS
Starring Christian Bale, Anton Yelchin, Sam Worthington, Bryce Dallas Howard
Directed by McG
Remember those robots stomping human skulls in Terminator 2? They’re, uh, back. This is the first Terminator to to be set in Earth’s not-so-pleasant future (machines have declared war on humans) and the first without Arnold Schwarzenegger (although a Governator cameo isn’t an impossibility). This time, the heavy acting will be done by Bale (The Dark Knight), who plays grown-up world-saver John Connor. ’’Our idea is to give the film the look of Children of Men but with the velocity of Transformers,’’ says McG (Charlie’s Angels). ’’We aspire to do to Terminator what Christopher Nolan did with the Batman franchise.’’ (Hits theaters May 22, 2009)

Question to those more knowledgable than I:
What is the average for BABIP?
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
.294 is the NL average this year.
.301 for the full season last year. Comparable figures in the AL are .298 this season, and .305 in 2007.
by Jim McLennan on Jul 19, 2008 9:10 PM EDT up reply actions
Thanks
I was reading an article that said Haren had a “fortunate” BABIP at .266, but that seemed like a relatively reasonable number. The difference between .266 and .294 would be, what, about one hit in thirty?
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
True...
But that’s also the difference between a .264 hitter and a .294 one. Haren has been lucky, but we’re not talking an Upton-esque .400 in April or anything like that.

Not seen either, but the word of mouth on that is much better than Hancock, which has got not much going for it beyond Will Smith, it appears.

I will watch
Will Smith in just about anything. That’s the only reason I watched Hancock which really wasn’t very good. Lately, I saw I Am Legend, I Robot, The Pursuit of Happyness (loved it) and now Hancock. I guess you could say I am on a Will Smith kick at the moment.
I liked Wanted.

Just got back and
Had to crank back the Tivo for Jackson’s catch, on the advice of Mrs. SnakePit. A great play our there, though one wonders if a more regular outfielder might have taken a better route?
But if you take a better route, you don’t get to show off your hustle! That’s the Way of the Left Fielder.

On a passed third-strike, though can hardly be accused of hustling down the line – if the throw from the catcher hadn’t got past the first-baseman, he’d have been out. Haren looked peeved when he was signaled safe by the umpire. :-) Still, that’s the end of Billingsley.

I cant remember at all but
I think I’ve read something about the A’s manager making Haren go 100+ plus pitch outings on consecutive games during last year second half… and that’s maybe the reason why his numbers where so high that 2nd half…
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me...
His last three outings before the break
Were 105, 115 and 113 pitches. So if the above were the cause, that’s not a good omen.

It’s most likely he’s going to be used to give Tracy a rest against lefties, but there’s not one on the radar for a few days, so Sunday would be as good a day as any.

There’ll be no dozen hits for us tonight. Still, as long as we get the win, I won’t mind too much.
quote from Snyder:
Snyder said Saturday he was sure of one thing: “I don’t want anybody to ever experience that. That was the worst pain I ever felt in my life, hands down.”
After a rehabilitation start Friday night in Stockton, Calif., the Diamondbacks catcher expects to be activated for Sunday’s game against the Dodgers.

That was a good deal more
Exciting than it should have been, but a W is the thing. I’d be very surprised if we see Pena and Lyon tomorrow though, which might make for an interesting last few innings.
Stupid bullpen
Have to make it exciting, don’t you? Though I blame my father-in-law. As we got out of the car at the end of the eighth, he said “Well, they should be able to take care of it there.”
But, hey, a win is a win.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
That was close
As expected, there were lots of Dodger fans at the game and naturally there were a group of them next to me that had come from El Paso for last night’s and tonight’s games. They weren’t obnoxious so I talked to them some and complimented Russell Martin on his plays at the plate at the All-Star game.
Nice game, wish we had scored more so the top of the 9th wasn’t so dicey, but that’s how it went and we won anyway. I heard Haren say afterward on the radio he hadn’t felt well today, kind of had a sore throat, but he pitched darn well anyways. Let’s hope we get the series win tomorrow and Webb is the first to 14 wins!
I think that "feeling good"
might be overrated for a pitcher. Remember David Wells talking about pitching his no-hitter while hungover/drunk? And how many times have you read a pitcher saying, after a loss, that they “felt really good”?
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
