Ugh. Yeah, I know Peavy was injured and missed a month, but he has allowed seven runs in 22 innings since he came back, so it's clear that whatever ailed him isn't a problem at the moment. However, in his last four starts, Doug Davis has allowed seven runs in 25.2 innings, so this one could be a lot closer than you'd have thought at the start of the season. Though if an unknown like Baek can no-hit Arizona until the sixth inning, we might see a perfect game from Peavy tonight. After last night's disappointment, I'm expecting nothing.
It's Native American Appreciation Night at the park, and Gila River Casino are giving out blankets to the first 25,000 in attendance. Yes. In Arizona. In July. I have to think this is some kind of cunning plan to inflict retribution on us palefaces, for when we gave the native Americans blankets. I am therefore staying away, and will be giving anyone at the game a wide berth for a couple of weeks, just in case. :-) It's one of those awkward 5:10 pm starts, so I'm not sure how much I'll be around - it largely depends on our dinner plans.

soco's keys to the game
1) Catch the game, as I haven’t been to able to watch in awhile
2) Dinner
3) Check out Wanted
4) Dessert?

Webb gets the start for the ASG
Report: Webb to start All-Star Game
Webb
The New York Post has learned that Brandon Webb will start the All-Star Game for the NL.
Voted in as starters were C Geovany Soto, 1B Lance Berkman, 2B Chase Utley, 3B Chipper Jones, SS Hanley Ramirez, OF Alfonso Soriano, OF Kosuke Fukudome and OF Ken Griffey Jr. Webb is something of a surprising choice to start given his recent struggles, but he’s still as deserving of the honor as anyone. Also likely considered were Edinson Volquez, Ben Sheets and Tim Lincecum. Jul. 5 – 6:03 pm et

Good for him but I can't say I agree.

I'll take it
no complaints from me, though I bet he wishes he was getting some rest.

I believe I read somehwere (today’s paper maybe) that Owings could start Tues. or Wed., and that if he starts Tues. everyone else would get an extra day’s rest. However, should Owings start Wed., then Webb may start Tues. and then again on July 13, thereby he probably wouldn’t pitch in the All-Star Game should he be selected.

The blue caps looks odd with the black jerseys

Yeah
They looked better last night.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Not yet
It’s downloaded, but I’m waiting for my wife to get home before I watch it. So I’ll be disappearing for part of the game, most like.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Bzuh!
Cool :)
I am like busting at the seams, I dled and watched it immediately and NO ONE I know has seen it.

"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
I would divorce soco
But the bum doesn’t even WATCH It. At least he has let me um… talk to him about it.
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
That's important
There are some series- books and TV- that I am very glad my wife is interested in them, too, because I need someone to talk to about it! =)
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
I think that is why he got me into baseball
Cause he wanted to be able to explain something cool to me and not have me go, “Huh?”
I got him to at least read Harry Potter, so by the end I could be like, “WHAT?!” And vent at him.
This Who thing is killing me! Last week I had a friend who is as obsessed at my side and now I am all by myself and no one has seen it. I have explained it to soco but he kind of looks at me like I have 2 heads.

Another thing about the caps
Too much white piping around the insignia makes it almost impossible to tell from a distance that there’s stars and stripes in the middle. Less is more, sometimes.

Scott Hairston doubles to lead-off
Not a good start.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
Nice play, Doug!
Evil EdGon puts the bunt down, but Davis nails Hairston at third. Nice!

Ice Road Truckers on THC
doesn’t offend me nearly as much as MonsterQuest. That show is complete and utter garbage and its presence on the network is rapidly destroying whatever credibility it still has.
And as bad as those shows are, they’re still better than the god-awful “lost prophecy of Nostradamus” specials that they run out seemingly every year.
I don't know
At least Nostradamus at least is a historical figure…
Yeah, they’re pretty inane, though.

All of the shows I loved
Messed it up in the finale last season. I used to have a line up but now all I can think is that I will have to start from scratch in September.
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
I’m actively ignoring at least a few finales from last year, because they were fairly terrible.
Bones, I’m looking at you.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
OMG OMG
That and House! I thought I was going to throw my shoe at the TV!
Total character assassination.
I knew I liked you. ;)
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Yeah
House was awful, too. I didn’t like Amber when she was trying to get the job, but I loved Amber together with Wilson. And now…
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
New episodes
of Psyche and Project Runway start in a couple weeks and The Soup runs year round.
Beyond that, there’s not much else that makes my must watch list. 30 Rock is pretty much the only network show on it.
Woooh! Psych!
Psych and Eureka are why I’ve been looking forward to July.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
But the shows focus on his "prophecy"
which is garbage.
I would describe the latest show, but Variety does it best:
All right, let’s take it as a given that the History Channel wants to shed its stodgy old image, but even so, it’s hard to justify overblown nonsense like this thumbsucker, devoting two hours to a book of dubious provenance that might be linked to the 16th century alleged prophet. Filled with extremely earnest “experts” of peculiar pedigree (including a psychic and the Nostradamus Society of America’s president), this sort of portentous baloney suggests the television apocalypse can’t come soon enough.
What the bleep? Down the rabbit hole...
does this ‘show’ ring a bell?
I won’t say anymore at the moment….

Davis
Falling behind a lot of hitters, which bothers me. But two zeros so far, and I’ll take that. But if Peavy continues to get a strike-zone through which the Fifth Fleet could sail, it’s gonna be a long night for the hitters.
fifth Fleet?
Hell, the Romulans could get through this zone…

48 pitches for Peavy
So far. Davis at 31 through two, so advantage us. Four men stranded by Arizona. Not sure if that is good i.e. we’re getting men on, or bad i.e. we’re failing in the clutch.

In the outfield
Jackson has nine games in LF, Bonifacio zero, at any level, in RF.
Sheesh. Be nice to have an outfield of CarGon, Hairston and he-who-shall-not-be-named about now, wouldn’t it?

Somewhat. Bonifacio played one game there for Tucson, getting two putouts and an assist.

Since then, when there are 40K or more in the house
5/17 vs. Detroit lost 2-3, att. 48,805
6/14 vs Kansas City lost 3-12, att. 44,615

Foulpole
was extremely passive-aggressive.
And remember, foulpole was never banned. He just banned himself.
Mark Reynolds: Turning me gay since '07
And just by chance he chooses this game
when the Dodgers are leading, we’re losing and if the scores hold up it will mean that the Dodgers take over first place in the NL West?

Perhaps I would cut him some slack
if he ever came to actually discuss the game. But no, he just comes when the Dodgers are winning and/or the DBacks are losing and he asks the same stupid questions about Byrnes and what have you and adds absolutely nothing to the conversation.
Like I said.
When he starts to be a REAL problem, we’ll deal with him.

bit OT but
I thought bats used to be made of hickory because it was such a hard wood.Forgive my British ignorance if that isn’t so.Is some of the problem with the bats no-one can afford to let wood sit round for 10 years to season any more?

Have To Give it Up To Davis
Seven innings, just three runs with the two homers. He’s really been a terrific pickup
Heh
Daron’s only mentioned the thyroid once tonight, I think.
I didnt like the Davis signing, but he’s done much better than I thought. At some point, you cant keep calling it luck.

He hasn’t done anything spectacular, but he’s been pretty solid for a mid-rotation guy.
"Evil lurks everywhere, often in plain sight... Can you lurk in plain sight? Or is that just walking?"
I'd even say
better than pretty solid for mid-rotation. He’s been better than many team’s #2’s, which I never saw coming

With any kind of offense Webb would probably have 14 wins, Haren 12, Davis 2-3 more wins, Randy a couple more.
I don't know about Webb
Most of his losses have been games he gave up a fair number of runs.
But Haren, Johnson, and Webb would each have two or three more.

Dear Mr. Sutton
I bought tickets for the game on Sunday based on your assertion that the giveaway would let me “dress like your favorite Diamondbacks short-stop.” Imagine my shock when I discovered said giveaway was for a Stephen Drew T-shirt – my favorite Diamondbacks short-stop happens to be Augie Ojeda…

My feeling about hoping that another team loses,
means that you’re not in the best of positions. But maybe spending a day in 2nd, will wake these guys up, just like last year when they were at a 50-48 record and won 9 straight series.
The talent that is Josh Hamilton.
Team A blows a 5 run lead in the ninth to Team B. Team A wins next two games,
Team B loses next two games.
Team B, your 2008 Arizona Diamondbacks.
