Gameday Thread, #103: 7/26 vs. Giants
Arizona Diamondbacks @ San Francisco Giants

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.

If you have a broadcast team
that does nothing but blow smoke up its own player’s #####, the inevitable result is “Eric Byrnes, teh face of teh franchise”!
By praising opposing stars and telling us about what makes them exciting, you create a culture of baseball fans, not a culture of bandwagon Diamondbacks fans.

Once per at bat seems reasonable
It just got excessive when entire threads were being taken over for it.
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.
