Gameday Thread, #151: 9/17 vs. Giants

San Francisco Giants @ Arizona Diamondbacks


sfg_medium

Jonathan Sanchez
LHP, 9-10, 4.47

Brandon Webb
RHP, 20-7, 3.28

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

Last night was the first time the Diamondbacks had won consecutive games since August 20-21. Y'know - back when we were in first-place. How long ago that seems now, doesn't it? Tonight, however, we try to get on some kind of a roll, as we strive towards...well, let's just say .500 baseball for the moment. I refuse to even contemplate any more than that just yet [even as I sneak a peak over and see the Dodgers losing 7-6 to the Pirates in the sixth inning].

Tonight Webb aims to become the first National League pitcher with 21 wins since Dontrelle Willis and Chris Carpenter reached the mark in 2005. He needs that to keep the pressure on Lincecum [who starts tomorrow in the series finale] for the Cy Young chase, though he now largely has to rely on Tim dropping the ball. Oddly, looks at the moment that the award in both leagues will go to players on losing teams, since Cliff Lee's 22-2 record for Cleveland seems sure to get him the prize.

Of course, it will still require the offense to score runs, something they have proven largely incapable of doing of late, except with the long-ball. Home-runs have been responsible for all our scoring during the previous three games, even if we're only talking six runs. It's time for us to go something like 9-for-11 with runners in scoring position tonight: I'm beginning to fear we'll never get a clutch hit again this year.

And here's a picture of a narwhal for luck. It seemed to work last night, so who am I to buck the trend?

Tonight's lineup
  1. S. Drew ss .282
  2. J. Upton rf .256
  3. C. Jackson lf .294
  4. A. Dunn 1b .238
  5. M. Reynolds 3b .241
  6. C. Snyder c .246
  7. C. Young cf .245
  8. D. Eckstein 2b .158
  9. B. Webb p .131

Hooray! Two people in the line-up batting better than .260. Woo-hoo! Good to see Jackson back, perhaps that will lead to runs that don’t involve trotting around the bags.

6 RHBs against the lefty Sanchez.

It’s interesting to see J-Up at 2, Snydes at number 6 and Eck moved all the way down to 8.

and that's it?

If this was Conor or Upton, you would be ripping them a new hole right now, going on and on how worthless they both are and how they will never be MLB players in the tru sense.

I wouldn’t mind your snarky remarks about the kids if the hypocrisy you show between how you treat seasoned veterans versus youngsters still learning the game wasn’t so blatant.

Against Zito in SF, I remember, and the Giants announcers said there was some other time Webb did it to them.

I seriously just cracked up.

At the current second?

Prednisone, antihistimines and Tramadol.

soco can attest to my loopiness. Usually prednisone doesn’t hit me, but omg today it has.

What a crazy random happenstance!

by mrssoco on Sep 17, 2008 11:03 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I loooooove tramadol!!!

That is a scary thing to say but it’s true. That is the only painkiller that works for me!! And I love how it makes me loopy for a few hours. Unfortunately it mixes with paxil, and my doctor said not to take it anymore. :(

Prednisone didn’t hit me when I took it, but I’m sure mixing it with antihistamines is quite different. :)

by snakecharmer on Sep 17, 2008 11:07 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well,

The hit it directly into my foot, which usually means I don’t get the loop effect but I feel slightly drunk.

Tramadol is oddly my favorite as well. (Which sounds bad too, but you know. Whatever. ;)) It takes away the pain instead of just making me so f-ed up that I can’t think about the pain.

What a crazy random happenstance!

by mrssoco on Sep 17, 2008 11:11 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Exactly!

The pain actually stays away for quite some time, and we don’t get to messed up like with viconin and all that crap. Oh man once I took half of a… something that was like vicodin, and I felt so groggy for 8 hours, it was terrible.

High-5 for tramadol!

Um.... Gracie??

I’m not quite sure I would characterize Jeff Salazar as a “GREAT fastball hitter”.

Leadoff walk for Salazar

Drew has a shot at his second 5 hit game on the season.

Its actually kind of weird

to hear the “Dreeeeeeewwwww” on the TV, even if I know what they are doing.

What a crazy random happenstance!

Seriously,

How many times can they go to the mound before they get in trouble?

What a crazy random happenstance!

Given all the noise that MLB made about how they wanted to speed up the games

The answer is “Eh, however many the umpire lets them.”

There should be a rule

Unless they are switching out pitchers, it just seems like a psyche out tactic and pointless.

What a crazy random happenstance!

There is, I think

On the radio, they were saying it seemed like the pitcher and catcher couldn’t coordinate on the signs.

Oh, seriously

WHY are Gracie and Sutton explaining once again what “CAR!” means? Have they not overdone that one enough?

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

Wolf misses out on a 5 hit game but what a job today.

Have a day!!!

Come on, Slaten

Just throw some strikes.

Not a very good outing for Slaten.

Nope

Just new on Blu-Ray so I am rewatching them. Over the (OMG SO LONG) hiatus I forgot how much I really truly love this show.

What a crazy random happenstance!

Just started watching myself

on ABC.com. They have 6 or so episodes there. How many did they air in the first season?

by TwinnerA on Sep 18, 2008 12:24 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Nine episodes? I think.

What a crazy random happenstance!

My sister watches it

and since I loved Wonderfalls I thought I’d give it a try and love it.

I love love love Wonderfalls

And Lee Pace even more each day.

I keep meaning to watch Wonderfalls

I’ve seen a couple of episodes, but I keep forgetting to watch the whole series.

It is really kind of like Pushing Daisies in its silliness

But Jaye is pretty much my one true girl love. She is beautiful and wonderful and sarcastic and witty and OMG. I love that show. And Lee Pace is on it! And one of the chicks from Rent the movie! And OMG JAYE.

What a crazy random happenstance!

I think they only aired 3 episodes

before it was canceled, but due to internet support they released the DVD with all 13 episodes. I’ve had the DVD for years but just got around to watching it in full over a recent weekend.

Last Christmas break

I spent a couple days installing wood floors with polyurethane glue. Even crawling around on my knees with glue in my hair and turpentine in the air, Pushing Daises still made everything better. I’m really glad it’s back.

We can kill two birds with one stone.

Light up Timmay, so we can get RJ his 295th and help Webby get his 2nd.
