Atlanta Braves @ Arizona Diamondbacks


atl_medium

Charlie Morton

Yusmeiro Petit
RHP, 1-2, 3.03

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

The second four-game series of the year against Atlanta starts today - the last one, in May, was split evenly, though we outscored the Braves 24-14 overall. Generally, we have done well against them recently, with twelve wins in seventeen games since the start of 2006. Atlanta have pretty much given up hope, 10.5 games back in their division, and losers in seven of their last ten, dropping series to the Giants, Brewers and Cardinals.

This afternoon, they send up rookie Morton, who has struggled a bit, but had a solid start last time out, allowing two runs over seven innings against the Brewers. Petit was stung by the long-ball in his outing, two homers accounting for all three runs he allowed over five innings, though he threw only 58 pitches. The lack of Teixeira in the lineup for Atlanta will help us: he had four RBI in the first series, and his departure leaves only McCann and Jones in double-figures for HR this year.

Los Angeles avoided the sweep in St. Louis - Ramirez had another homer - so we need to win to keep the lead at 2.5 games. Mrs. SnakePit is feeling much better today, so we will be attending the game. Azreous is on the recap tonight, though I may toss a few Game Notes on to his piece in the morning.

I just spent the afternoon listening to Gambo and Ash- they had Brandon Webb and Andre Dawson on the show. Now I know why I don’t really want to spend much more time listening to sports radio.

They were trying so hard

to make news today, weren’t they? How many times can they ask “if you weren’t playing for the D-Backs, where would you like to play?” And how many times can he evade the question before they run out of time? It was thrilling. Simply thrilling.

Gambo wanted to hear Brandon say that he would like to play for the Yankees. I love it that Gambo has to hear Schulte’s call of the Diamondbacks winning the World Series each and every day they open their show. Ha, take that Gambo!

Hmmm...

D-Backs Byrnes could return this season?
Eric Byrnes doesn’t intend to throw on a cape, swoop back into his starting spot in left field and be a savior for the Diamondbacks as they try to nail down the National League West Division title. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t contemplating a comeback this season, even as most reports have him likely missing the rest of the year because of a torn left hamstring. If his rehab work continues to make strides and the results of an MRI exam this month look positive, Byrnes said Wednesday that he expects to be activated from the 60-day disabled list and be available for the club’s stretch run. “My ego is not big enough to say I’m going to come in and try to be the hero in September,” Byrnes said. “That’s not the idea. It’s to get healthy enough to play and help this team in whatever capacity I can.”—Arizona Republic

Luckily they were free through work, but the saddest part is that none of us at work could go either, because no one knew about the tickets until today.

We just missed a double play because they were babbling and doing a promo.

Oh man

my fingers are killing me. I had to do strip returns this morning, which meant I had to scan 1100+ book covers to process a return.

Strip returns?

Does that have to do with those warnings inside paperbacks about “stripped books”?

Essentially

mass market paperbacks are so cheaply made that it’s less expensive to strip the cover off and send just that for processing. The rest of the book is recycled.

Oooooooh.

You’ve just solved one of the greatest mysteries of my life. I always thought that, if somebody was trying to shoplift a paperback book, the store’s employees were supposed to grab it by the cover, so it would get ripped off.

I always thought it didn’t really make much sense to expect that somebody would be able to strip the cover off a shoplifted book….

Or else

if the police or somebody found a cache of stolen books, they were supposed to rip the covers off

No

the ripped cover also helps someone identify a stolen title. The books are supposed to be recycled (or thrown away in the old days) but some people I imagine would take some home, and the companies wouldn’t want these to go to the secondary market.

Yeah.

That’s what I just realized when you elaborated about the book covers.

That is a very elaborate thought.

I know.

I concluded long ago that the publishers were pretty dumb to expect that plot to work.
