a neck and neck decision, though. For me, TDK could have used some tightening up, but it was still an amazing piece of work. Either way everyone wins.

My problem..

with iron man was just that the action scenes were kinda underwhelming. But of course, i think it’d be better to compare Iron man to batman begins, since they both have to deal with the origin. In that case, Iron Man wins.

I'm fairly content with the roster as it stands,

the only issue becomes who gets sent down when Upton comes off the dl. It should be Burke, but I have a feeling it will be D’Antona which would be unfortunate given how anemic Clark’s bat has looked so far.

They really should have had him catching more regularly in Tucson then

He’s played the vast majority of the time at third base

Dear Josh Byrnes: Please DFA Chris Burke. Give D'antona a chance. Trade for someone that actually knows how to hit.

Also

11 runs in 18 innings off the team that’s allowed the second fewest runs in the NL.

Who's

allowed the fewest in the NL? Us?

Dodgers

Followed by Braves, then Cubs.

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!

Nope

Dodgers. We’re 5th.

This is before today’s games, I think. I think that the Cubs just dropped behind Atlanta.

Was that a niner in there?

Were you calling from a walkie-talkie?

Wow.

Congratulations, folks. That’s a hair under 930 comments between the two threads—and almost all of them on-topic!!

Wow

That was an impressive collapse by the Mets tonight. Willie Randolph is on line two to say “Aren’t you glad you fired me?”

Evening, folks

We had a very good evening, and it seems people did here too. Still got all of the first thread to catch up on, but can’t argue with a final score like that. I may pop over to BCB later to read the ‘sky is falling’ comments which are no doubt raining like…er, rain. :-) Recap to follow!

I like the conversation at BCB wondering if the Diamondbacks will retaliate for O-Dawg tomorrow. My favorite:

he drilled him
on the lower part of his leg, if Hart could spot his pitches that well he wouldnt have been in that jam

The thread does devolve into some rather unpleasant infighting, though.

They're Cubs fans.

What did you expect?

Plus

It’s on the internet. It’s to be expected.

No kidding

That was…spectacularly unpleasant. I mean, do you think there is something about Cubs fans? Because If it ever got like that here, I would seriously consider jacking it in. We may have our occasional trolls, but I don’t think we go around seriously threatening to kick other posters asses. Reading those threads was like watching the forum version of a train wreck.

by Jim McLennan on Jul 23, 2008 3:55 AM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, reading through some of that really made me want to come back here and give everyone a big hug. Or at least, you know, a manly high five.

That’s for everyone here—not just Devin.

Manly high five?

Timm and I have a secret hand shake, can that count instead? I don’t think my wrist can stand 10 “manly” high fives. ;)

Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

by mrssoco on Jul 23, 2008 3:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sure.

But that would also imply that you just showed me your secret handshake..

I'm sure

bickley was in the middle of it too….

by unnamedDBacksfan on Jul 23, 2008 5:53 AM EDT up reply actions  

Yup,

serious-sounding threats of bodily harm would be a pretty big shocker here. Jeez, Cubs fans—learn to control yourselves and your drinking.
