Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
Running a little late, having been distracted by a really bad Charlie Sheen flick, in which he plays a psychotic fireman. As you do. So, not much time to get anything detailed written up for this. Feeling better about the pitching match-up this evening, though it's clear that Jurrjens is not a bad pitcher. However, I don't think there has been a better one in baseball over the past two months than Dan Haren, and I think this will be the game where we get back on track. If not, we could end the day in second place for the first time in four months...
No plans to go anywhere, but round, shiny things - be that Olympic medals or DVDs! - may well combine to distract us, depending on how things go. Failing that, commenting will surely follow.

yeah
I’m going to have an eye on the dressage,but am hoping for a great outing from Haren.
We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.

Mmm… my favorite Thai place! ;)
Dinner + Olympics. I HATE pacific time tape delay. :( Even in Atlanta, it was NEVER live.

Maybe when the Olympics are in Vancouver, you’ll get them closer to the actual time.

Tonight's lineup
- S. Drew ss .279
- O. Hudson 2b .306
- C. Jackson lf .315
- C. Tracy 1b .277
- M. Reynolds 3b .245
- A. Romero rf .265

Montero over Snyder, but otherwise it’s the same nine as started last night. How long it’ll be before Melvin can shoehorn Clark and Burke in there too, we’ll have to see.

soco's keys to the game
1) Make dinner, I guess
2) Dessert?
We were just in the downtown area and thought about going to the game, but ultimately vetoed that idea.

You can tell Schulte and Candioti (sp?)
are not used to TV announcing… It’s like they have said Dbacks-Braves coming up next, or 1st pitch coming up, like 15 times with SOO many commercials following. lol
But i love listening to these two, they are great!

It'll be a bit odd tonight
Used to Saturdays without Grace, but missing Sutton as well? We’ll see… There’s no doubt, radio requires a different, much more vocal and descriptive approach than television, where a lot of the time, it’s very clear what’s going on. Must be kinda tough to adapt!

True
I was watching FSN AZ earlier, and there was an EAST-WEST game, and Sutton was doing the call, with some crappy guy… But i quickly turned it.

Watching with a heavy heart
I was supposed to go to the game but couldn’t bring myself to after having to put my 18-year-old kitty Vincent to sleep today. His age and poor health had caught up to him and his quality of life had plummeted quickly. He was a sweet kitty whose purr could be heard across a room it was so loud and I will miss him greatly. It’s just hard to imagine not seeing him waiting at the front door when I come home from work, but I was lucky to have him for so long. His sister Catherine is still healthy and will help ease the sorrow I’m feeling. Sigh.
Uh, this game is not making me feel any better so far. Crap!

I believe you meant “come on offense” but your slip up (common offense) aptly describes what we have.

They're the anti-2007 D-backs
Scored more than they’ve allowed: should have a 62-60 record, but are six worse than that.

But a lot of teams have owned the dodgers. Haven’t the dodgers been shut out the most?? Or it’s they have scored less than 2 runs the most, or something like that.

Get a clue… about the only teams in baseball that have had fewer disappointments than the D-Backs since our inception have been the Marlins, Red Sox, Cardinals, and Angels.
Almost every team has expectations… you have to be a fan of the team to know those expectations, but every team has expectations. The Royals have been hoping to be able to rebuild into a powerhouse for years. The Brewers have felt that they’re on the cusp for years. Same with the Cubs, and the Padres, and the Dodgers (and on and on and on).

I'm sure Royal fans go into a season expecting to win.
Brewers and Padres always had missing pieces and if your a fan of that team you have to be realistic when going into the season.

ESPN.com's rankings
Week 1 Week 20 Drop
D-Backs 10 14 4
Tigers 3 20 17
Braves 8 21 13
Indians 2 23 21
Rockies 15 27 12
Mariners 13 28 15
Reds 19 29 10
Padres 16 30 14
That’s just a quick and easy comparison of some teams who have failed up to their expectations far more miserably than the D-Backs. A drop in four slots is not a season that stands above the crowd as notable in its failings.

during the Twins’ tawdry flirtation with contraction. Every night, I could turn on the TV and literally watch my team (or at least the team’s owner) try to destroy itself.
This feels just as bad, just in a different way.

Exactly. Every fan of almost every team could tell you the same story. I live equidistance between NYC and Philly right now and listen to both Philly and NYC talk. The fans of each of the teams feels that they are in particularly dire straits (the Yankees fans are disappointed b/c they haven’t won the WS since ‘00 but have spent hundreds of millions trying; the Mets fans are disappointed b/c of last year’s crushing blow at the end of the season and this year’s underachieving team; the Phillies are disappointed b/c they haven’t sniffed the WS in ages and have an offense that should be raking but instead is putting up paltry numbers).
Go anywhere… it’s the same story. Only a few clubs every season get to experience the rush of everything clicking. But this year’s Tampa Bay will be next year’s Rockies. It’s the way it is and the way it always has been.

I think the thing
that makes this year so frustrating (at least for me) are the many levels of failure. The NL West is historically bad this year and, even with all of our potential, we can’t take advantage of it. Even if we “win” the division, we’ll do it by being less inept than the other four teams. I know this sounds silly but a “win” this year is still pretty shameful.
Add to that the regression of some of our key players, and the wildly inconsistent play of some others, and it looks like this is kind of a lost development year too. I think I could live with losing the Awful NL West, if we saw our young players improving during the season. Of course there are some exceptions, most notably Conor Jackson, and I’m grateful for his improvement. But I’d like to see more from the rest of the team.
Although this may not be the most frustrating season ever, there’s a lot to make a fan angry. Hopefully the D-Backs can give us something to cheer about soon.

I’m not denying how frustrating it has been. Believe me, I get it…. all of it. What bothers me is when fans of any team (and believe me, they all do it), think that their pain or frustration is unique. That is absolutely not the case. I don’t say that to be unsympathetic… it’s just to provide a bit of perspective.

Very true
and he’s part of the company, there’s no way he’s going to go on air and spout gloom and doom, even if it’s true.

intentional?

Yeah...
You have to look at the top of the thread, but a wild throw from Drew on a double-play means we have taken his D away. :-)
by Jim McLennan on Aug 9, 2008 11:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
I think it was ‘Skins who accidentally dropped a d in double a couple games ago, and then Drew had that not so good defensive play at the beginning of the game, so I was joking he needs to earn his D back and then I dunno.

Is there a 2008 Bobble-head Curse?
Orlando Hudson – Wrist injury
Eric Byrnes – Pair o’ hammies
Bob Melvin – Head injury
When the bobble-head strikes, who’s next?

Micah Owings – not a Sliver Slugger this year and sent down to Tucson cuz his pitching stunk.

Any way
we can roll out a Dodgers bobblehead before the season ends?

If there's a Conor Jackson
bobble-head in the works, maybe they can paint it blue and glue on some dreadlocks.

Pretty good chance for surgery on Hudson
According to Melvin. He’s probably out for the rest of the year, but they’re waiting for a second opinion from a hand specialist in the morning.
