Running a little late, due to various distractions. Volquez is another borderline Cy Young candidate: given how badly we did against someone with a 4-15 record yesterday, I dread to think how we'll do against someone who is 16-5. Oh, well... Should be about for most of this. Unless I get distrac... Oh, look! A swallow...

Notably, CoJack out again today. Did we injure another player? This is why we can’t have nice things.

Sore shoulder
The article I read said that he didn’t know how he injured it, but he should be back in a couple days.

Getting myself in trouble. . .
I was annoyed by Silverblood’s comments on McCovey Cove; and I posted a fanpost about it over on Purple Row. (Didn’t have her email.) She did a good job of defending herself, based mostly on DBacksSkins behavior over there. Which I found inadequate since I’m not DBacksSkins; and I don’t post nasty comments about the Rockies on other SBN sites. In general, I succeeded in making everybody over there mad at me. Which, since “Friendly Visiting Fan” to that site seems to mean “Watch Your Back”, I guess is no great loss.
It's like living with a six-year old.

I wouldn't sweat it at all. Their loss.
At least you didn’t go overboard and get yourself banned like I did from the gay unicorn site.
I could care less about the orkies and never would have visited their site if it wasn’t for silverblood and rox girl coming over here last season mouthing off about our team and its fans.
I could so care less if it was in the spirit of a ‘budding rivalry’, I found no humor in it and have had a strong dislike for those two every since.
yeah, I understand they are not a fan of my team, but don’t ever come onto my teams site and talk shit about it or its fans again. They can diss us all they want on their site if it gets them off.

Yeah, good point, but it is disingenuous. It’s all, “Hey, guys! Let’s be friends!” and then being rude with the other kids on the playground. Plus, I just pretty much hate lying, so there you go. And I’d stuck up for her because I thought she was okay as a visiting fan. So I was annoyed about that. She cut me, man, she cut me!! LOL
I’m over it.

If Brynes wasn’t resigned, we would need a left fielder, Quentin or Carlos Gonzalez, I wonder if they would have kept Gonzelez and traded Quentin for Cliff Lee, like they were thinking about, before trading him for Cris Carter.

I have been saying for awhile now
that Owings will make it as a hitter and not a pitcher. He doesn’t have the stuff to be the power pitcher that he pitches like and he doesn’t ahve the control to be a control pitcher.
OTOH the guy can flat rake even though he only gets regular ABs every 5 days. He’s the best hitting pitcher to come along in 80+ years. . . .

The worst part
(Of which there are probably three or four or nineteen “worst parts”) Is that, of the five runs we’ve scored in these past two games, four were sort of given to us- the error allowing Eckstein to advance last night, and then the runs on a walk, wild pitch, and HBP.
Meanwhile, we’ve stranded how many runners? (Answer: 19)

Kirk Gibson: Yes, my lord?
Josh Byrnes: Make ready to land our troops beyond their energy field, and deploy the fleet, so that nothing gets off the system.
[beside Gibson, Bob Melvin utters one last strangled gasp, and falls over dead]
Josh Byrnes: You are in command now, Admiral Gibson.
Kirk Gibson: Thank you, Lord Byrnes.
