Chicago Cubs @ Arizona Diamondbacks

Jason Marquis
RHP, 6-5, 4.44

Yusmeiro Petit
RHP, 0-1, 3.06

Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]

Huge win yesterday, as our number four starter shut out the Cubs, and combined with a converted starter and previously-wobbly reliever on a two-hitter. As measured by Game Score, Johnson's six innings of one-hit ball against Colorado, back in May 2007 passed it during his second term here. Curiously, over the four games since the All-Star break, we appear to have slid through a black hole and entered Bizarro World: we lose when we score four runs or more, and win only if we score three runs or less.

Today. we send the Petit Unit to the mound instead, with the decision that he will be replacing Micah Owings for today's start. Pwnings pitched yesterday in relief - though it seemed odd to burn him there [even pinch-hitting for him with Tony Clark] for one inning of work. One wonders if this is intended to be a semi-permanent move: Petit's only previous start also came as a spot one, in place of Owings, and he pitched very well, allowing one run in six innings against the Brewers.

Marquis is pitching on very long rest again - it's been eleven days since his last appearance, which came ten days after the one preceding that. It didn't seem to affect him last time, as he pitched seven shutout innings against the Giants. He faced us twice in 2007, getting one win and one loss, though the only D-backs with 10+ PA's against him haven't done too well. Tracy is 1-for-14, Hudson 1-for-10 and Burke 5-for-28. Chris Young, however, is 3-for-6 with three homers.

Somewhat prodded by the monumental off-topicness of recent Gameday Threads, we have introduced the SnakePit Chatroom, [no password needed] which will be running in parallel with the Thread. The aim it to offer a more "random" forum for the chit-chat, but it is not intended to divert people from the threads here [and if that ends up happening, we'll pursue another route]. There won't be any particularly enforcement, but threads that drift too far from the game will be gently shepherded towards the chat room, where they can continue unfettered.

'Skins and 'Charmer will be about tonight, so hit them up with any questions. I won't be here, as we are off to see Eddie Izzard at the Orpheum Theater. I will therefore be relying on the thread for insightful commentary, beyond the box-score, which I can steal incorporate into the postgame recap. Let's hope Petit can be as effective as Johnson, and we can proceed to take the series, setting up a potential sweep tomorrow. That would be very nice.

Sam Zell, the CEO of Tribune now, also has a minority stake in the White Sox. He’s selling the team in the way that would most screw them over and I love it.

Also a note about the chat room

As we discovered earlier, it doesn’t particularly like when you have lots of other windows open – it won’t bounce you per se but will keep you inactive until you type again.

It’s also pretty boring… it’s just a simple chat room, with a history of 10 minutes… it’s not threaded so it’s not easy like this, but it is a place to continue long-standing OT-ness during the games. :)

He’s slightly better than an emergency third catcher. He played out field in college as well. He could handle RF with his arm, all though he’s never played there in the minors.

AH, he’s okay. Looks like his quad was hurt.

It's like living with a six-year old.

No need to stop here. Pour it on.

I'm not fond of this umpire's strike zone

Drew to 3rd on the PB.

Nope, not injured!

Drew takes third on a passed ball

Kinda makes me less worried about him being injured.

I would not have thought that the “Wizard” ads could be surpassed in obnoxiousness. But that slap fight - gah. Make it go away.

I hate Chad more than anything

He’s just so smug… Pisses me off.

Smug bastard….

“Can You Hear Me Now” Guy would waste Chad. And by waste, I mean outplay Weezer songs.

You'd think

they would have focus groups that would tell them this sorta thing….

by DbacksSkins on Jul 22, 2008 11:10 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Given the number of ads that annoy me

I’ve little faith in the effectiveness of focus groups.

Besides

I think they assume annoying = memorable.

Yeah.

But bad memories are ALWAYS more memorable than good ones, and not in a good way. Haven’t you heard how customers always remember a negative experience with a company before they remember a positive experience?

It seems like

everytime I log into my hotmail account these days, there’s a banner ad with Chad’s face…. and then I have to close out my inbox. Argh!! Alltel is preventing me from reading my email!!

you should really get help for that…

Maybe the Diamondbacks should just sign me...

You're right.

I should hire a professional hitman to help me kill Chad.

Yeah, but he’s annoying in those ads.
