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
- S. Drew ss .282
- J. Upton rf .256
- C. Jackson lf .294
- A. Dunn 1b .238
- M. Reynolds 3b .241
- C. Snyder c .246
- C. Young cf .245
- D. Eckstein 2b .158
- 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.
And with that, I'm off home
It’s too cold to sit in the office any longer, so I’m going outside to thaw out and wait for Mrs. SnakePit. More from home, if anyone cares to join me…
How is that possible?
How in the world could a veteran of Dunn’s years make an error?
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

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.

3 runs on 13 pitches
Well, I suppose the only good thing is the pitch count was fairly low for such a mess of an inning.
And the sac fly scored him!
Good small ball.

That's the second or third time Webb's done that this year...
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.
It was a game
earlier this summer in The City. Don’t remember who gave it up. We won 4-0 and two of those were thanks to Webb

Dude, he LOVES left of center field wall! That’s 3 shots there this week.
He certainly seems glad to be back
And I’m pretty glad to have him back, too.

K to end the inning from Webb
Nice work.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Just watched the Upton home run
He must really like that spot. Eventually we’ll all think these are replays because I think he keeps hitting it to the same spot?

I really don’t want to get my hopes up that we can catch the Dodgers, but I’m always glad to see Manny and Joe Torre lose.

Two on for CoJack- be nice if he can continue that dominance they keep reminding us about…
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
And CoJacks strikes out to end the inning
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Holy good Lord!
I leave to come home feeling a little sad and then POOF. Wow.
I’m here. (And pretty medicated, so play nice)

What are you on? I just had to get off my painkiller, so I’m jealous.

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!
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 up reply actions
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!
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!
by snakecharmer on Sep 17, 2008 11:15 PM EDT up reply actions
High Five Back!
My only problem with Tramadol is that for me it peters out REALLY suddenly like 1 minute feeling a okay and the next OMG WHAT THE CRAP OW OW OW. They need to work on that, i shoudl write a letter. ;)
What a crazy random happenstance!
Only hardcore painkiller
I’ve ever used was Vicodin, (when I got my wisdom teeth out) and it sure killed the pain, but I didn’t really get any side effects.

What the crock is going on here?
6 runs? How could you guys let this happen?
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
It's not our fault!
We don’t expect the Diamondbacks offense to try to score more than 2 runs anymore, it caught us completely off-guard.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."

"Look
what happened to the good old days of rewarding a player? When you find a player that dominates a stat line, you try and do what’s fair and right by him. Am I crazy for looking for a max contract for my client, Mark Reynolds?"

Does anybody else get slightly depressed when they say the ages?
Like when they pointed out the pitcher who was 22 yesterday. I just can’t help but think I am 24 and these guys are making in 1 year what will take me probably 10 years to make.

Sad.

Plus
If you only managed to do part of your job 2 out of every 5 times, you’d be fired. They’d be praised as being at the top of their game.

2 out of every 5 times??
Them’s superstar numbers….

YEA!
I mean, if I lose like ONE of my kids people act like OMG that is SO HORRIBLE, but that would be batting .500 and I mean, I would be a super star. ;)
What a crazy random happenstance!
Baseball
is a weird game, when you think about it.

Is Eckstein
the shortest Dback in history?
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Not necessarily
He’s tied with Donnie Sadler- both are listed at 5’6".
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Hmmm....
both of them a quarter inch taller than me?
Wow…. for a baseball player, that’s REALLY short. (Although, isn’t Raffy Furcal 5’6 too?)
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
No
A quick Google says he’s somewhere between 5’8" and 5’10".
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
"somewhere between"??
Rafael Furcal has become an amorphous blob?
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Possibly
Baseball-reference says 5’10", ESPN says 5’9", CBS says 5’8". The man is either played by a team of nearly identical triplets, or the Dodgers just won’t buy a real tape measure.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Or else
he’s continually changing hairdos?
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Um.... Gracie??
I’m not quite sure I would characterize Jeff Salazar as a “GREAT fastball hitter”.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Leadoff walk for Salazar
Drew has a shot at his second 5 hit game on the season.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
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.”
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
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.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
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.
I was really just using the excuse to say CoJack was pretty
But you are probably right?
What a crazy random happenstance!
Come on, Slaten
Just throw some strikes.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Pushing Daisies will make it all better
Tell me when I can look again.
What a crazy random happenstance!
Oh no!
It’s not new, is it?
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
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?
I keep meaning to watch Wonderfalls
I’ve seen a couple of episodes, but I keep forgetting to watch the whole series.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
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.
Okay, good
I was worried I’d somehow missed it.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
So many of the shows I'm looking forward to start next week
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Pushing Daisies
makes everything better.
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
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...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
I think I watched
the episode about dog breeders four times in a row that day Or at least had it on in the background while I cursed at the floor)
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
It has John McHale! And it is amazing! And OMG do I love that episode.
Almost as much as I love the one I am watching now “Pigeon”. My faaave.
What a crazy random happenstance!
7-5
Tying run at the plate.
Come on, bullpen….
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
They allow the run to score,
but get the 1st out at least.
7-6. Jebus….
Oh, and Lyon is warming up in the pen…. now THAT is a relief…..
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
No
rolaids is relief! and I am all out!!
always an adventure with this club
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

2 down
Randy Winn at the plate.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Randy vs Timmy
tomorrow.
Oh great, we really don’t want RJ to get to 295
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

We can kill two birds with one stone.
Light up Timmay, so we can get RJ his 295th and help Webby get his 2nd.

So I get home from class
just in time to see a four-run lead shrink down to one and Brandon Lyon warming up in the bullpen. And all I can think is “Holy cow! We scored seven runs!”
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
keep thinking those good thoughts!

That's like an explosion
at Chase Field. What the heck happened?
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
The Dbacks
woke up and killed the PodBacks.

Excellent
They probably got enough XP to level, too.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
I hope they spend those talent points
on some situational hitting abilities.
"We...probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." — Terry Bisson
I hope
they get enough to level up to the postseason…
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Must've been
panic on the streets of Bisbee

Ballgame
Whew.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Wow.....
our ohfer streak went 0-25 with RISP until tonight.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
First time
we’ve scored more than 4 runs since September 1st.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
That's sad
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
HAHAHAHA
Adam LaRoche, taking revenge on the Dodgers on behalf of his brother/teammate, hits a Grand Slam.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
When Webby is in the locker room after the game,
he’s always got the shades on his head and a striped shirt, like he’s planning on going clubbing.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
Moron calling in to KTAR is claiming this was the biggest game of the season.
Burnsie is pointing out that, really, those games we were swept in LA were probably the biggest games of the season.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Just wondering
Was Rhoda the first caller in to KTAR? She alwayyyyys calls and gives here rundown of the game. Drives my sister crazy.
Don't know
I was only half listening, but I didn’t hear her. I know exactly who you’re talking about, she is pretty annoying.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
gambo is annoying, I can deal with most anyone else

Gambo's an idiot
But Colin Cowherd is the one who annoys me the most.
"Besides, you two shouldn't fight! You're best friends, I would imagine. You can't let a bunch of talking dogs in space helmets ruin that."
Colin Cowherd
has about as much insight into sports as the gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe.
Josh Byrnes: PLEEEEEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RE-SIGN ADAM DUNN!!
If I had any doubt
Hearing him go on about how Ladainian Tomlinson needed to ‘step up’ this season really reinforced it.
Yeah, because LT has been such a slacker the last few seasons.
