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.

I love the juxtaposition of these two headlines at CNNSI.com:
“Dbacks Activate Upton / Dodgers Demote Kershaw”

Ya know what was flippin' sweet?
Back when we looked like world-beaters at the beginning of the season.
Just sayin’.

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….
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
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.

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 up reply actions
Ah.
IIRC, my mom paid to have a cake delivered to me my first February at Georgetown, too.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
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.

Hmmm....
being forgotten IS lame.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
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.

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

by 4 Corners Fan on Aug 30, 2008 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions
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.
Indeed!

I guess Droo can double instead.
But CY needs to at least hit a homer.

Or double, scoring Droo.
But now CoJack needs to homer.

Kuo Kuo Puffs!
Sorry. Had to make a stupid joke. Couldn’t resist.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
Our team would be a lot better
if everyone were hitting a little higher than the .240 range.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
We'd be much better
if we were all hitting .280, too. You’re right.

Wow Reynolds, swing and miss on 3 straight fastballs, that is special.
The best rotation lies in the desert.
Dude,

Brandon Lyon: Former closer
now demoted to mopup status.
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
Hopefully tomorrow
we get the good Webby, and not that shitty impersonator who came to pitch vs. the Padres.

Well, gimme my due.
They were at least in separate phrases?

That can't be right.
Surely he’s gonna stay at closer until he figures it out?

Haha!!
Mandy sucks so much. Even Brandon Freaking Lyon has his number.

Wait --
can we have a do-over and just have Brandon Lyon plunk him right between the eyes?
Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.
Oh,
and I hate James Loney.

Well to be honest, I don't even think you knew me to begin with.

GREATEST.... NAME.... EVAR!!
I just got an email from my friend, Happy Johnson.

Actually,
Happy is just his nickname. His real first name is Haamid.

I'll take that bet.
He’ll be walking slowly back into the dugout when we quietly make the third out.
I would
have rather of lost that bet though, honest.

We need to have more Runs
before we can feel the Excrement.

I think we should try and outscore the Dodgers tomorrow
If we do that I think we stand a good chance at winning.

So the way this team is going...
Chip Hale will windmill-tomahawk Brandon Webb in the back of the neck tomorrow night.
Dude,
don’t even joke like that.

I know, it's horrible.
But I can’t help myself. This team’s streakiness puts weird (and visually hilarious) thoughts in my head.
