Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]

Well, that was a fascinating game last night, wasn't it? Some players got some hits, while others didn't. There was solid defense played at times, but it was occasionally not-so-good, and the pitching was a mixed bag as well. But someone did cross home-plate.

Er, it's kinda hard to write a Gameday Thread before the previous day's game has even started, but it's a necessity, since Saturday will see me locked away in the bowels of Chandler Cinema for about 16 straight hours - and I don't think they have wi-fi. We'll pretty much be heading out the door as soon as we rise, and I don't want to stay up and later than necessary Friday night; the recap there will prove more than adequate as a workload.

Hence, this extremnely generic Gameday Thread template. Go [insert name of team]! And in particular, go [insert name of star player]! Azreous is on the recap, so that usually results in something interesting happening - though not necessarily something good...  I'll see you all on Sunday. once I've emerged, blinking, from the darkness.

[Edited by snakecharmer] Just a note, SBN is having another scheduled downtime at 11PM Pacific tonight. An early start shouldn't affect the gameday thread, but it might affect Azreous's recap.

Great win last night

I really enjoyed watching the 7th inning hit parade. Was a little skittish about turning over a one-run game to our bullpen, glad we didn’t have to.

Whatever happened to Erubiel Durazo?

By the end of the weekend,

I’ll be able to watch games on tv again! :-D

Now, if only I could remember how many of my meals I’ve used this week…I’m kinda hungry, and leftover Chinese just doesn’t sound great.

Awww, c'mon, Emily.

How can you NOT like leftover Chinese?? I mean, it’s not as good as cold pizza, but still….

I didn't say I didn't like it!

Just that it doesn’t sound great right now. Plus, heating up the Chinese food involves plates (which are all dirty…so bowls) and forks (which are all dirty…so, spoons.) which means I have to do dishes. I need to anyway, but it’s just not convienient when there’s no sink in my room.

But the mongolian beef is sounding better and better.

I also have most of a birthday cake in there. I could just eat that. :-P
(That’s an even longer, more entertaining story, if you want to hear it.)

Yes, tell us that birthday cake story.

by 4 Corners Fan on Aug 30, 2008 8:13 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well...

my birthday was on Sunday (yay birthday!) and my mom forgot. To make up for forgetting, she sent me a “birthday party in a box”- cake, decorations, everything you’d need. It didn’t get here until Thursday around noon, and the front desk of my dorm didn’t call to tell me it was there until around dinner on Thursday. So I called the company, and they said to put it in the freezer for a few hours and it would be fine to eat.

I now have a birthday cake in my freezer, because my mom forgot about my 18th birthday and tried to make up for it by sending me cake. Way to go, mom.

by emilylovesthedbacks on Aug 30, 2008 8:18 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Ah.

IIRC, my mom paid to have a cake delivered to me my first February at Georgetown, too.

Except

I bet your mom didn’t forget about your birthday.

But yeah. Reading that again, it doesn’t sound as hilarious as it actually was. The icing was all melted and we couldn’t read what the top of the cake said…and that box was filled with more confetti. Which is now all over the floor of my room. AGAIN.

It was kinda funny, though...

I kept saying that she was going to do something like that after being heartbroken that I had moved out two days before.

And she did.

by emilylovesthedbacks on Aug 30, 2008 8:27 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Was she embarrassed? After all the tears and stuff, she’s all, “Hmm, somebody’s birthday is today. I wonder who.”

It's like living with a six-year old.

by 4 Corners Fan on Aug 30, 2008 8:30 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah.

She called me the next day “Ohmigod I’m soooo sorry.”

For me, though, the best part was that my cousin’s birthday is the 23rd. So before I left Flag for SPF on Saturday, she called me and said “Don’t forget to call Chris today.”

My 18th b-day was my worst b-day as well… not that bad, though. At least the folks remembered me.

That reminded me

my Dad (RIP) sent my sister and I each a half dozen miniature roses for our 18th b-days when were were at UofA. Very sweet, but funny nonetheless that Pops was so cheap he wouldn’t send a dozen roses to each of us but made us split a dozen. Mine were pink and my sisters were red.

If you’re a Dodger fan, Berroa is NOT the one you want up right now.

Did Candiotti

really just say “nice play” in the process of describing that?

A defensive lapse?

Must be time for a “Sheesh!”

Oh, wait, it was Drew. Not his fault.

I join the game and I see Drew throw the ball away! Come on Haren, buckle down now.

to find that killer instinct and NOT let the dudgers up. Get your head outta your rear guys,

Haren is laboring

I knew I was nervous about him running the bases for a reason.

I want a team I can believe in!

You know, a team that never feels like it’s out of a game, even when they’re way behind? Instead we get a team that never quite feels like they’re IN a game, even when they’re way ahead.

C’mon D-Backs!

Hmmm....

the problem is, that team you can believe in may be dogged by a lack of experience.

Let's Go Haren!

We need a quick inning here if we want Haren to go into the 6th or 7th inning.

Nice to see Haren use the breaking ball instead of the splitter to a LHB.

Manny with a 2B

Agreed. To think that he, at some point, wasn’t even considered the best player on his team makes me absolutely frightened of the A.L. East.

If by a free pass

you mean a fastball in the back, hopefully starting next at-bat.
