Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
The night has been unruly: where we lay,
Our chimneys were blown down; and, as they say,
Lamentings heard i' the air; strange screams of death,
And prophesying with accents terrible
Of dire combustion and confused events
New hatch'd to the woeful time: the obscure bird
Clamour'd the livelong night: some say, the earth
Was feverous and did shake.
(Macbeth, 2.3.69-76)
It's been an ominous day, though I'm not sure quite what it portends. I was just emptying the spam folder on my Gmail account, and the top message - or, at least, the top one in English - had the subject line, "Stunning porno Penelope Cruz." I somehow doubt it. Then, we were just linked to by The Big Lead in their daily recap - which opens with...a picture of Penelope Cruz, for no readily apparent reason. And we have Azreous on the recap tonight, since I'll be at IZW: his last appearance was accompanied by Doug Davis's stab at a perfect game. All this, and the debut of Adam Dunn as a Diamondback?
Yes, the stars are aligning, and tonight is shaping up to be special in some way or other, our new slugger getting to start off at NASA's Colorado launch facility. I boldly predict that his first home-run in an Arizona uniform will come sometime between now and Thursday. Be nice if it were tonight. In the first inning. After Drew, Ojeda and Jackson all reach base. While that would certainly be memorable, it might be a bit much to ask, and this being Coors, we should bear in mind the First Law of Frisbeetarianism: Never precede any maneoever with a comment more predictive than 'Watch this!'" On that basis, all I am prepared to say about the opener of our series against Colorado is: "Watch this!"
Thanks to all those who took part in the excellent discussion on Adam Dunn yesterday: deserves a roll-call, including both new faces and friendly visiting fans. NewJackCity, DbacksSkins, unnamedDBacksfan, Scrbl, leemellon, kishi, AngryTick, Lisalisa8, TwinnerA, IndyDBack, Wactivist, TAP, Counsellmember, DiamondbacksWIn, Azreous, snakecharmer, Brendanukkah, njjohn, Andrew, garyho, hotclaws, cesarhernandez, ZonaBacks10, nihil67, foulpole, DBacksArb, Man Mountain, soco, dahlian, AZSEAfan, Wimb, dstorm, justin007000, flipgatey3, Diamondhacks, srdmad, golfmanthee and paqs all chipped in. We had over 1,200 visitors on the site yesterday, and north of 850 already today, the busiest of the past month - and likely the season.
The consensus, going by the poll, seem to involve Tracy going to third and Reynolds to second, though opinion is fairly evenly split between Dunn playing LF or 1B. To me, it's a question of trying to balance offense and defense. The key question seems to be, what hit would we take moving Reynolds to 2B? That's very difficult to quantify - much more so than the related question, what upgrade at the plate does he provide over Ojeda? I'm reluctant to try it in the heat of a pennant race - though it's something we should consider for next year, as a backup plan for if we can't re-sign Hudson. However, there's a reason Reynolds was moved out of the position in the minors: if we could have kept a second-baseman with a 2006 OPS of 1.034 and 31 HR, I think we'd have done so!
Dodgers won last night, so the gap has narrowed to one game again. I read the following over on Dodger Thoughts and it sounds awfully familiar, to the extent it could be something I've written, at any point since about May. "It just gets tiring to settle for solace in the failings of other NL West teams, rather than being able bulk up with pride or, more importantly, confidence in the remaining fate of your own. It's true that getting to the playoffs with 83 victories is more important than winning 93 and missing out, as will be the case in other divisions... It doesn't mean that the losses don't take a beating on you. Getting flogged each time you think you're about to break free is just a rough way to live."
Finally, I have absolutely no idea what to make of this site. It appears to be a mutated combination of posts, taken from both elsewhere and here ["Lolback of the week" ring any bells?]. But as if run through Babelfish a few times, to remove any degree of coherence. The results, however, sometimes reach an almost poetically surreal level. Witness this sample, presented exactly as it appears on the site. Picks the bones out of this, and see if you can find any omens.
What happens?? Reliability, Conor Jackson, gave us the lead, and a sacrifice fly from Tracy added an insurance run. Jon Rauch pitched a independent eighteen, and Lyon worked around a in park homer to secure his 21st save. Philadelphia Phillies by all the writing on the wall is a top dog. Mission responsible - and He is a free agent. in a President Bush, callously premature, way.

Generally, I like Jon Weisman's writing,
However, this little bit irked me some:
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 1988 of Kirk Gibson and Orel Hershiser could have worse scripts than an underdog bid for a title.
Forgive me if I don’t consider a title won by a team with an Opening Day payroll of $118+ million (less than 100 grand behind the Cubs) much of an “underdog bid”. More like “an underperforming team finally playing to its potential”.

there was a guy named BiggrUnit7 or something like that, and he disappeared right as AzPhan showed up, and then came back after AzPhan left. I don’t know if they were connected but I mentioned that to him/her as a joke in a thread and then we never saw him again!

I suppose that these are the same kinds of people who drove him out of Cincy. I should also note that this fellow apparently has a huge stiffy for Eric Byrnes.

3) Dessert?

And now, another open letter to radio ads
Dear guy on the stupid DUI ad-
I’m not a lawyer, obviously, but I don’t think that you t get charged with DUI because you failed a field sobriety test. I’m pretty certain that they then give you a breathalyzer, which is what actually leads to being charged. I mean, were you so nervous that you released extra alcohol into your blood? Then, maybe you’d have a point. Until then, shut up.

Is he going to switch numbers for each home run he hits? Even mid-game?
Could we see him out on the field, holding two consecutively numbered jerseys, waiting for the umpires to decide whether a home run was fair or foul, so he knows what jersey to put on?

I live in CA and have Dish Network, and ordered the sports package today so I could get FSN Arizona and watch Dunn’s debut, along with the rest of the playoff race, and it tells me the game is blacked-out. What the f? Is this going to happen with every game? I wouldn’t have paid for it had I known.

Okay, I am highly confused
I saw the news/rumor about Micah, and I saw that Orlando was put on the 60-day DL to make room for Adam. But… who was sent down off the 25-man roster?? Jeff Salazar’s still listed on there and he’s in the dugout. I must just be totally missing it (aka it’s probably a reliever) because I can’t see who’s missing!

Tulo stared off playing a somewhat deep ss and starts creeping in as the pitcher makes his delivery. Drew is going on contact not knowing that Tulo is moving in so when CJ hit the weak dribbler to ss Drew gets hung up.

Since we signed him two years ago, I’ve always said we’d be happy for a guy who can give us six solid innings an outing and, for the most part, he managed it for us. I’m not happy with how much money we’re giving him, but I’m pretty happy with the numbers he’s been putting up.
