Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]
I should have known the power of the narwhal would be greatly diminished in a land-locked state like Colorado. Our offense once again floundered like a single-horned aquatic mammal trying to climb the Rocky Mountains - we have scored barely three runs per game since August 24, batting .227 over that time [and likely a lot less with men in scoring position].
The Giants helped us out by beating the Dodgers, but we were unable to take advantage - we'll be hoping for more of the same today, although the most important thing is for us to take care of our own business. Beating Aaron Cook thus becomes a necessity, rather than an option, since time is - at the risk of stating the bleedin' obvious - running out: nine games left, and we remain 3.5 games back. Davis has been very solid, holding his own when the rest of the rotation went through their own meltdown. However, Cook has been the staff ace in Colorado, so we need the offense to step it up.
I'm not sure how around we'll be. About to go out to watch my step-step-grandkids play football [that's the sons of Chris's step-children, from her first husband's first marriage. I love modern relationships] - that's your version of it, not mine. And after that, am going to a barbecue at a friend's house: what happens after that, and what state I will be in, remains to be seen. There may simply be slumpage in front of the TV for a couple of hours.

Man.
Owings with a two-run pinch-hit single for the Reds, to pile on Sabathia a bit (although the runs were unearned).

Sutton mentioned the cancer
two or three more times in the postgame wrap. Given Doug’s clearly on record as wanting to be relatively low key about the whole thing, I find the dramatic urgency and frequency of Sutton’s references little short of appalling.

The Susan Koman Race for the Cure is in a few weeks? Tying it to that maybe? Not listening to the game so just guessing.

that Davis would turn into the staff ace at seasons end and that Webb and Haren would BOTH struggle, I’d’ve said they were completely nuts.

Did that just save the season?
I mean, it’s still a huge longshot, but that’s the kind of shot they so desperately needed.

Uh oh.
Sounds like another of those “turning points” we’ve had so many of.

It might be easier
to list the situations where our relief pitchers don’t struggle.

Not that I'm complaining, but...
Tony Pena continues the trend of “relievers getting wins who don’t deserve wins.”
by Azreous on Sep 20, 2008 11:14 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I swear
Earlier when we were leading before Pena coughed up the lead I went outside and looked up at the sky and saw the words ‘YOU WIN" spelled out in clouds. And I’m completely sober.

Hmm.
I don’t think you’re handling the stress well. That’s not a good sign.
Just think of how stress-free the NBA season will be for Suns fans like us.
…Wait.
by Azreous on Sep 20, 2008 11:17 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
At least with the Suns there are only 82 games to sweat out a season. Less stressful that way.

only if the batter brings one of those 12" novelty bats to the plate.

Ya know what's really nice? At least, I like it?
The drive between Phoenix and Fagstaff. Pretty beautiful scenery.

Especially if
you drive through Sedona. But coming back from Flag to Phoenix frickin sucks. It goes from pretty to pretty nasty in the space of about 20 minutes.
by emilylovesthedbacks on Sep 20, 2008 11:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well,
but Sedona’s kinda outta the way. I just love the ascent past the Rim up into the mountains.
Right on about Flagstaff to Phx, tho.

Am I the only one
who likes Phoenix more than Flagstaff? Flagstaff is a nice place to visit, but there’s always a little voice in the head screaming “Where are all the people!?!?!!” I’ve spent so much time in the city that I’m uncomfortable without a crowd.

I like visiting Flagstaff, but Phoenix wins in the long-run.

For the record,
I mixed it up tonight and tried to post as much as possible. I still can’t fathom how some people hit triple digits on a regular basis. Felt way too much like work.
by Azreous on Sep 20, 2008 11:43 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah,
I noticed that. I was wondering whether there was some specific reason.

Eh, not really.
Curiosity, mostly. Quiet night at the apartment for once, so I turned on the game, cracked open a Blue Moon, ate some pizza, and enjoyed having the place to myself. And commenting 10 brazillion times, even though you and I were mostly the only ones here.

ManRam retired with 2 on
Despite the fact that Kruoda is nearing 100 pitches and giving up 2 baserunners per inning, Torre did not pinch hit for him in the 4th.

The Dodgers are really doing their best not to win.
Two walks and a WP with the bases loaded.

Evening folks
Just got back from the BBQ and getting our asses kicked at the ‘Totally 80’s’ version of Trivial Pursuit. Thanks largely to my woeful ignorance of 80’s American politics. Which, in my defense, was not high on my agenda as a teenager in the North of Scotland…
Anyway, report to follow shortly. And, go Giants…

Great
Three consecutive walks drive in two runs for the Dodgers.
Giants suck. Film at 11.

I'm inclined to believe Curt Schilling's assertion
that only 10-20% of the bullshit Mandy pulled in Boston ever got leaked out.

Whatever team signs Manny is going to sign him, because of what he did for Los Angelos,
not really factoring in what he did to get out of Boston.
Micah Owings will rise again.
Max Scherzer- Flaming fastball good enough to cool down his opponets.

Giants make it interesting
Come in five runs down, but they have the tying run at the plate with two out…

But Dave Roberts
Strikes out looking.
3.5 back, eight games left. We pretty much have to win out from here.

Sandoval hurts himself trying to make it close.
Giants chances of winning tomorrow decline a lot.
