Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
There's a point at which the Diamondbacks need to say "Wait until next year!" It seems to me that we are teetering precariously close to that moment. Not so much because of our record, but because of the way we're playing, and specifically, our offense which is basically dead in the water right now. In the past six games, we've scored only ten runs - 30% of those coming on one swing from Mark Reynolds, and are batting just .177. Hell, crank it back to cover the 22 games we've played since June 25: barely three runs per game and .226. That's why we're 6-16 in that time. So, today's discussion (and associated poll): is the season over?
One year ago today, I wrote the words above, as a discouraging loss sunk the Diamondbacks record to only 50-48. While a couple above this year's mark, the team were, in many ways, worse off, since they were 4.5 games back in the division at that point - Baseball Prospectus gave us only a 2.3% chance of making the playoffs. Oddly, extending the simlarities, the defeat came after the villain yesterday, Brandon Lyon, allowed three runs in a game for the first time in over a year, in a contest that was also started by Webb.
However, the team chose the following day to begin a streak of eight consecutive wins, which propelled Arizona into a lead that they never relinquished, as they went 40-24 the rest of the way. And who did that streak start against? The Chicago Cubs, whom we face again today. This is both encouraging and discouraging. It's clear that the season is still very much up for grabs. But do you feel there is a realistic chance of us posting a .625 win percentage the rest of the way? Don't all rush.
So, the Cubs come to town - with all that means. Having gone to all three games against them at Chase last year, I am taking a sabbatical, having had more than my fill over that weekend. [While I know from personal experience that Cubs supporters include some of the most articulate and well-informed baseball fans out there... those aren't the ones who showed up at Chase. Let's say no more than that] It's going to be a battle of the back-ends as far as the rotation goes - today at least, the advantage definitely appears to be with Chicago.
Harden was very solid in his first outing for the Cubs, going 5.1 scoreless innings, and striking out ten - it did take him almost 100 pitches to get that far. In contrast, Johnson has been through a rough patch, though has won back-to-back starts for the first time since May 18 - albeit mostly thanks to an eight-run inning posted in support of him against the Phillies. However, Johnson has never lost to the Cubs, going 12-0 with a 1.98 ERA in 13 starts: Of course, the last time he faced them was back in April 2004, and it's safe to say he is not quite the same pitcher he was then. Still... 13-0 looks so much better...
I'm having a bet with my lead here at work, who is a Cubs fan: if the D-backs sweep the Cubs, he has to wear an AZ cap for a day, or the other way around. If I'm not really very optimistic that he will be seen wearing Diamondbacks headgear on Thursday, I will be more than happy if we can somehow find a way to take two out of three. We have comedy tonight, so won't be able to take part in the thread; will hopefully be able to see it at the Grand Tavern, where we are comedy-ing. The post-game recap will therefore be a) late, and b) brief - and, indeed it will be tomorrow, since we're going to see Eddie Izzard. Therefore, if anyone fancies recapping either game, let me know, or work it out yourselves in the comments.

forget the dbacks!
Let’s see a review of Eddie Izzard instead. I love that guy. He makes me laugh in a less pitiful way than the boys in red do lately anyways.
Anyways, let’s hope the obnoxious cub faithful have no joy in their next few days. I too have some acquaintances who are calm, passionate, and knowledgeable cub fans. They definitely are in the VAST minority at games out here.
At this rate
tomorrow. And welcome! I know sports go in cycles, but it always frustrates me when a great baseball town like Cincinnati has to suffer through the bad times.

Its from the Upper Deck “Piece of History” line, and if you ignore the ridiculous cards like the history ones, it’s actually pretty cool. Great design and interesting tidbits on the back.

Well....
The last week for me has been more than interesting. I worked my ass off for three days getting all the catering done for that wedding on Saturday. I did manage to see The Dark Knight on Friday, and I must say that it was fan-fucking-tastic. Heath ledger as the Joker is brilliant. Friday I was starting to fall ill with really bad congestion, sneezing, a fever and coughing. Luckily I got everything done on Saturday, as I was pretty much out of it until this morning. While this was happening my computer was acting retarded, and I didn’t get it fixed until about noon today.
So anyway, I’m feeling better today. Now I’ve got a lot of work to catch up on that I missed all last week.

Jim decreed any swearing will cause that post to be hidden from sight. I think he said that yesterday or the day before, so just something to keep in mind.
So what did you make? I want to feel horribly inadequate before I make dinner tonight ;-)

Didn't know about the swearing rule. Sorry Jim
Well, it was a pretty simple three course spread.
for the appitizers I made a nice spread of various cured hams and sausage, several different kinds of cheeses, cured and pickled vegetables(Olives, Peppers, artichoke hearts), fresh fruit and fresh vegetable platters.
For the entrees I made three different things: Blood Orange-Wasabi Glazed Seared Ahi Tuna Steaks, Grilled Duck w/ a Pomegranite-Jalapeno Reduction, and Sancho Pepper Crusted Beef Filet. For the sides I made some roasted squash, A fresh spinach salad, and rice pilaf
For dessert I made tempered white and dark chocolate boxes filled with homemade raspberry and citrus sorbets. I also made cheesecake, and fruit parfaits.

It all sounds great, but the chocolate boxes w/raspberry & citrus sorbets sound absolutely sinful.
Thanks.
The cheesecake I made was much more sinful. It’s a combination of a traditional New York cheesecake and an Italian Ricotta Cheesecake. My friend who was having the wedding requested that i make it having tried it when i made it during christmas

I agree that New York Cheesecake is generally too rich
The ricotta actually makes it a bit lighter. It’s just heavy and rich enough that you come back wanting more. If I actually sit down and write the recipe down, i’ll share the recipe if any one wants it.

My mom actually came up with the recipe with some input i provided. She made it over thanksgiving after about four or five unsatisfactory results. Once she got the final recipe, it’s been hit. A lot of people have asked me and her how to make it.

I had fried chicken, baked beans, and some rolls for dinner. It’s not like I normally cook food like that for my self. Normally I only made food like that if I’m getting paid to do it, or I’m trying to impress a girl I’m dating, or if it’s a special occasion.
I made about 300 bucks for the job, all of which went to my student loans. And I bought a new dbacks cap.

that even fried chicken requires more skill. I’m an okay cook, but not on that level.
Knock off the hippie crap, strap on a helmet, and start shooting. This is baseball, Diamondbacks, I want you to storm that beach like it's Normandy!
It's not that hard.
You just follow the standard breading procedure(which is used for everything from your standard fried vegetables(onion rings, Zucchini, Okra, Etc) to things like Fried Ravioli, Eggplant Parmesan… You even use it for things like Fried fish, Shrimp, Chicken, Steak fingers, et cetera
1. Dip food in seasoned flour
2. Then dip food in a beaten egg wash or if you’re using a batter, dip it in the batter, and skip the next step,
3. Dip food in seasoned flour, bread crumbs, or whatever dry coating you’re using.
4. Fry food.
Very simple.

Or...
You go to KFC, Churches, or Popeye’s
Just as tasty fried chicken…. way less effort. Even though making fried chicken isn’t that much of a difficult task for me.. it’s still a very very big hassle, and takes a ton of work if you’re making enough to feed a lot of people.
Frying lots of food is rather nauseating to me, honestly.

Hmm
I think this is something I’ll have to try sometimes.
There’s some wing place I went to in Tucson with friends once that I remember being pretty good, but I don’t remember the name. It’s popular with the college crowd, has kind of a Chicago vibe, weird name, lots of arcade machines inside if I remember correctly.
Does that ring a bell to anyone?

Seriously. Almost every thing is a chain. The last time I checked, there’s only a couple 3 diamond rated restaurant here. You can’t get a 4 or 5 diamond rating unless you’re attached to a resort, and there ain’t anything like that in Tucson that comes close to getting that high of a rating

But I was more talking about the perspective of working in the restaurant industry. Not eating out. I’d like to be able to work at a fine upscale restaurant. Unfortunately, there really aren’t any in Tucson.

They just showed a stat that in 13 combined starts catching RJ, batters are hitting .304 when Montero catches and .228 when Snyder catches. Interesting.

I believe so. Then Gambo talked about how if Owings would pitch in relief that maybe it would be about them showcasing Owings for a possible trade. I don’t want him traded.

Micah came in a few games ago for a few innings and did fine.

I know there are people here
the hatred isn’t as strong as other players, though, so maybe it seems like more than it is, since he is one of my favorites.

I donated too. It was the least I could do after his cancer scare. Plus he has been fabulous this season with not much to show for it.
He was great
last year too. We wouldn’t have gone to the playoffs if he hadn’t stepped up in the second half.

I like him halfway because

Yeah.
Was crowdsurfing, and some kid dropped me (straight down… like, I sank like a stone) on the hard surface, and landed squarely between my shoulder blades, right below my neck. Knocked the wind outta me and cracked two ribs. Hurt like a bitch for about 2 months, then still was sore for like 6 more after that. :-(
Worst part about it was, when you get a rib injury, the very act of breathing is painful.

I had a stack of boxes topple over while unloading freight at a job in Novermber. I slipped on the wet floor and banged up my knee really badly.
Of course, I still went to the concert I had plans to go to that night. And it at least meant I got out of dancing for my friend’s senior project, so it wasn’t all bad.

Which time? ;)
I have something called lymphadema (lack of a lymph node in my right leg), I have had an inflammed terminal illya (which took three months to diagnose)... blood infection that was causing me to black out. Other things my brain can’t remember because I am zonked. It is always something weird though. Just once I want to go in and have them be like, “You have a cold.” or “You need your appendix out.”
I am an odd duck, quack! ;)
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Ah.
My ex-gf’s mom had lymphadema, IIRC. During the winter of my 7th grade, I had some respiratory ailment where I was constantly coughing, for about 3 or 4 months. It wasn’t TB, and they didn’t think it was bronchitis, so it might have been Valley Fever.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
Had she had Breast Cancer?
It is a common occurence afterwards… Either way. Wow. Small world. Lymphadema is like a 1 in a million disease so I always am confused when other people have heard of it. :)
Ooo Valley Fever. I have heard it is pretty horrible. And I hate coughing, it is one of the things I hate most about colds so 4 montsh I would have been miserable.
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

Speaking of work-related injuries,
I was with another guy, carrying a massive piece of tempered glass to a dumpster, and we put it flat on the edge of the dumpster and were lifting it up to slide it in, when it suddenly ruptured under its own weight and completely exploded over our heads.
I still have a tiny bit of a scar across my nose where a piece of glass sliced me open.

I got kicked
in the back once.
Some random ska show. I don’t even remember getting kicked….but the next morning I can’t lift my arms above my head, and there’s a foot-shaped bruise between my shoulder blades. We figured it was about a men’s 12 or so, judging by the bruise. Sadly, no picture. :-/

In our defense
We were getting married in January but my grandmother kiboshed that by passing away on the day before our two year dating anniversary (Jan 16th) and so the month of January soured. February is Valintine’s Day, March is my birthday, we have like 9 family members with birthdays in April and I refused to get married in June, July, August or September. So it was the best idea at the time.

I understand the arguement
I mean, if mrssoco really wants to avoid lye cured products, that’s fine. I just see that as being overly cautious, and as a total hassle, since most foods don’t specifically say that they aren’t lye cured or not. And you can’t always find an alternative product that is of similar quality.

It is one of my favorite accents! :)
(Also, thanks! I had to train myself out of the southern accent. People deduct 20 IQ points when you speak.)
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Awww
I like accents on girls.
Well, most of them.
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
See, looking back I liked my accent
But I was 13 and middle schoolers are mean. I still slip when I am drunk, around family or just really tired. soco thinks it is hilarious.

Ah, the number of things that can be blamed on middle school kids
I have a tendency to pick up accents of people around me. And a tendency to demand that people drinking vodka in my house speak in Russian accents.
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
Heh.....
whenever I’m drinking vodka with my boy, we just start talking in Russian accents for an hour or so.
I’ve got a bit of an ability to pick up accents myself, esp. while drinking.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
I don't believe
I ever said “wicked”, sorry. Could it be because this was 16 years ago?
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
Well...
I guess I can forgive you. ;) I don’t even know if people in Boston actually say “wicked” I just love it in movies and some how want to get my kids to do it. With the thick Boston accent. But I don’t want to move there. (I don’t like cold) so I might be fighting a losing battle. :)
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Not only is it cold there,
but it’s not the fun cold, where you get a lot of snow but sunny winter days. Nope, it’s the nasty cold, where it snows but also rains a lot, so you get dirty slush everywhere. Oh, and it’s sunny for only about 8 days a year.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
See, I am out at more than two weeks of weather
below like… 60. I don’t do even marginally cold. Flagstaff killed me for my love of cold weather.
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

I LOVE cold weather.
I guess we can’t get married if you and soco ever divorce. :-( That, or else I’ll have to move to a warm climate.

Soco likes the cold weather as well
He wants to move to Buffalo, New York. We figure Seattle or San Diego is a nice compromise. I am a pretty nice wife, I rarely force him into anything. ;)

"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
See, I ask soco politely for stuff and then give him the wibble lips and he will do it. But in the BIG things, I won’t force him to do those things. Cause yes. I don’t want the long term effects of forcing him into stuff. :D

Hah,
I am pretty sure his wife would not be amused. ;) But I will just pretend you are hitting on me, and all will right itself. This will also keep me from thinking about you getting eaten by a shark.
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
True.
We might have to stop seeing each other like this, since your jealous husband last night said that he’s sending all his shark friends to eat me.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
Oh yes, Jealous jealous husband.
He wouldn’t know jealousy if it bit him on the nose. It just isn’t how he rolls. The sharks comment was probably just to keep you in line. ;)
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
I know,
but still, if he DOES have shark friends, I’d rather not meet them. I’ll already have my hands tied with killing all the other sharks I’m going to see.

Good stuff
I developed a fondness for Cholula since that’s what they served at the good Mexican restaurant in our city in Utah. That place was awesome, made me feel like I never left Arizona- you walk in, and realize you’re the only person there who wasn’t raised speaking Spanish.

Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
There are some
It’s not an unheard of thing for a young Mormon lad to go off to some foreign land on his mission and end up marrying a woman he met there and converted. Plus, one of the factories nearby did have enough illegal immigrants working there to draw an INS raid last year.
And some estimates put the number of black citizens in Utah at nearly triple digits.

I like the Wendy’s in Casa Grande (the one at the outlet mall, right off I-10) better, but still.

It made me sick enough that I didn’t eat at any Wendy’s for at least 10 years after that. Then the first time I go back I am at the drivethru and see a rat running around the menu board. I couldn’t believe it. But since I was already in line and had placed my order I took a chance and lived.
I give myself
food poisoning at least once a month. zI let stuff sit out way too long before cooking it or putting it back in the fridge. Luckily, I’ve never gotten ghastly ill from anything.

I've never had any serious food poisoning
I’m trained to have a restaurant running at a extremely high level of food safety and sanitation. I honestly can’t eat at some places because it’s easy for me to see grievious errors in food handling.
Buffets, Chinese, and Mexican restaurants are the worse. Sometimes I’ll ask how long something has been left out for service. If they don’t know, or they won’t tell me, I won’t eat there.

You can usually guess if we won or loss, depending on the tone (or lack of) post-game conversation.
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."

They were largely undeserved. Other than lead-off walks, both pitchers out of the bullpen did what they needed. Heck, Qualls got two double-play balls on consecutive batters.
