Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
This should be a lot of fun - two starting pitchers who will likely receive Cy Young votes at the end of the season, going up against each other. Promises to be a good test of our newly-rediscovered offense, though Lincecum has struggled of late, with only three quality starts in his last six outings. Milwaukee slapped him around pretty well in his last outing, tagging him for five runs, on six hits and four walks, in five innings. Is fatigue setting in? His ERA did go up above four in August and September last year. Webb, for his part, appears to have righted the ship after a rocky period, with three earned runs in his last three starts, covering 21 innings, and is undefeated in his last five outings.
I'll be down at The Sets for our burlesque show [tickets available at the door, he said, in a gratuitous plug!] but hope to be able to take in a good chunk on the TVs there, especially given the early start. I will be laptopped, so comments should be possible, at the very least. Naturally, be keeping an eye on the Nationals-Dodgers game, to see if Washington can do us a favor by beating LA. And I also see that 'Skins anti-Winn campaign has not gone un-noticed...

I’m curious what inspired a Giants fan to go read a GDT from two months ago.
Looking forward to this one, though I’m off to be out and about for a bit. I should be back by the fourth inning or so. Maybe. We’ll see.

Tonight's line-up
- S. Drew ss .270
- C. Young cf .236
- O. Hudson 2b .303
- C. Jackson lf .316
- C. Tracy 1b .303
- M. Reynolds 3b .247
- C. Snyder c .243
- A. Romero rf .243
- B. Webb p .146
With the exception of Romero replacing Burke, it’s the same lineup as last night – makes sense, since Burke was the only guy to go hitless there. If we manage that again tonight. I’ll be more than happy.

To do that for a guy like Steve Garvey who legitimately deserves derision and antipathy, but Winn is just a guy that happens to hit well against the Diamondbacks.

Nope
All outs are considered entirely equal.

I agree
a guy with a soco should increase the teams winning %, errors should decrease…
by AF DBacks Fanatic on Jul 26, 2008 10:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well, I can see their point
An out is an out, and a base-runner a base-runner. How they get there probably doesn’t have much impact on the overall win percentage.
by Jim McLennan on Jul 26, 2008 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
right
but on an error, the % decrease should go to the fielder, not the runner, bottom line numbers should remain

They are trailing
the Diamondbacks, and it’s a lot closer than the Dodgers game, so I guess I can understand.

Okay
My computer has been telling me that “Updating your computer is almost complete. Your computer needs to be restarted,” every five minutes since I turned it on three hours ago. I think it’s time to finish the process! Recap to follow, in between half-naked women. :-)

Tron 2????
Isn’t there also a new Terminator movie coming out? One that takes place AFTER the bombs go off?

Christian Bale is going to star.

GOOD film
He’s good in pretty much everything though. Even Reign of Fire. Equilibrium is likely our favorite though: that one is sci-fi action though, but very, very cool.

For using “though” too many times there. Tee many martoonis. :-)

I had too many people spend too long talking up Equilibrium to me. By the time I saw it, it could be nothing but a disappointment.

Probably true
We saw it with no advance word at all, beyond a decent review in the Republic. I still love it, but I can see how it could be the victim of its own hype. Though if you believed, “Brave New World was okay, but it needed more swordfights,” this is probably the perfect movie…

Yeah, I sat there and couldn’t help but pick it apart to annoy the people around me as payback. “Hey, they’ve eradicated all emotion, right? So why is that guy so arrogant? Isn’t arrogance an emotion? What about being condescending?”

Liz and I were joking
last night that soon a “Breakfast Club” remake would come out, and this was before finding out about TR2N. Unfortunately this may be a sign of things to come.

That sounds
barely even close to “Breakfast Club.”

Probably for the best
When they remake Ferris Bueller, starring some dude from The OC, that’ll be a sign of the impending apocalypse.

Yes to both
Tron 2 is still production though and is titled TR2N
