Diamondbacks V. Astros II: Overflow Bloodbath

Getting a pitching change, with our boys in Red ahead 11-1 and Miggy and CY leading charge.  Yeah, I guess that's pretty good.  Let's lock this down!

Brandon really should change his middle name from Allen to Peter. BP Backe suits him ust fine.

First NL team to get

Two grand slams in the same game since the Mets on July 16, 2006. They did do it in the same inning, the sixth.

He's like the God

Of BBC wildlife documentaries. Everyone in the UK would get the advert, but I was just curious how well known he is here.

Ah. Gotcha.

Yeah, I’m vaguely aware of him now.

He did all of those

nature shows, didn’t he? I think I remember him smoothly narrating as a harpy eagle swooped down and yanked a full-grown sloth off of a tree.

Let me explain

Fried chicken. Fried chicken is delicious. It is good with mashed potatoes, or gravy, or corn, or cornbread, or biscuits, or a can or two of cheap canned beer, or maybe all of those things. It is good hot out of the frier, cold out of a tupperware on a picnic or a fishing trip or while hunting. I propose that Fried chicken is the best food ever invented.

Just another Livan Hernandez start...

For the Rockies. Ten hits, six earned runs, but still batting for himself in the seventh… Getting eleven runs of support helps, I imagine. As we’ve seen. :-)

Adam Dunn with his 2nd walk of the night.

Yawn. What, he can’t hit a grand slam? DFA him.

Adam Dunn

means Miguel Montero has gotten better pitches to hit.

Adam Dunn

Is clearly distorting the fabric of space-time for quite some radius around him in the batting order! And not in a Russ Ortiz way… Well, not just in a Russ Ortiz way…

by Jim McLennan on Aug 16, 2008 9:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'll bet

Adam Dunn could catch a flyout in his belly…
