Aw, what a shame: we don't get to tee off against Greg Reynolds, whose ERA is the worst in the majors of any pitcher with a dozen or more starts. Not that Rusch is exactly much better, and we had no trouble last time we faced him, tagging him for the loss and scoring five times off Rusch in only 4.2 innings. More of the same today would be pleasant. Of course, the most important thing in today's game is:
As our ace goes for the victory that would, in all likelihood, seal a second Cy Young for him. It would mean that no pitcher in the National League could come within five victories of our staff ace, and while there are certainly other factors which should be taken into consideration, history has shown that it's very rare - if not impossible - for a pitcher with such a dominating lead not to be awarded the Cy Young.
Not sure of my location for this one. Mrs. SnakePit is out and about right now, promoting our lucha show tomorrow [we have midgets!], and I'm sure that some kind of dinner will be in our future. But what, where and when is entirely up in the air at the moment. I'll be commenting, as available.

"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
Wait, maybe we shouldn't get too excited first
Someone check with Purple Row- were we expecting more out of Webb this season?
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
All in all,
I would say Webby has been an abject failure this season.

TOTALLY SEXIST!!!!!

My ten year high school reunion is tonight
I’m not going, but I did realize after their last “Classmates We’re Still Looking For” e-mail that I graduated with Nick Piecoro.
(The fact that he’s so easy to track down didn’t give me much hope that the people organizing the reunion have any idea what they’re doing. Neither did the fact that they also, apparently, couldn’t find one of our graduates who is now teaching at our old high school, or the fact that I was listed as not found yet, even though I got the damn e-mail.)
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
High School Reunion
They’re having the reunion during Homecoming week? Ours are always in the summer. Is it being run by graduates of the class or one of those commercial organizations? We started a committee for our tenth reunion and most of those people still do the organizing, though classmates.com has been a big help in finding people and contacting them.
It's like living with a six-year old.

Yeah, though that, quite poossibly, is coincidental
It’s being run by graduates. Though I use the term “run” loosely. The people I know who are going are expecting it to be a train wreck.
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
Nah, they'll have fun
It’s always fun to see, at the ten year reunion, who is most impressed with him or herself — passing out business cards, bragging about the job, etc. And then you just laugh at them.
And by the 30th reunion, it’s fun to see which former cheerleader has had the most plastic surgery!
It's like living with a six-year old.

Our class went through an organization
and they went out of business after year #3 for us. (Nobody was surprised…they had a non-working procedure the first year!) With the advent of all these reunion sites, I have a feeling tracking down a lot of us will be a little easier in a few years than it would be with this dumb company.
Anyway, I am here tonight, seeing as how the guy I was seeing has decided to longer see me because he’s still in love with his ex. Yeah, it’s been that kind of week.

Oh, sorry.
That stinks. What a jerk.
I’ll bet she’s not still in love with him, though.

I don't think she is
but nobody actually knows. She’s Mormon (so is he; I’m not) and on her mission so he won’t be seeing her for another year anyway… but, from what I gather, I think he feels like he’s betraying her by seeing me (even though seeing me was his idea in the first place). Yeah, it’s kinda complicated, LOL. It hurt for a few days but I’m doing a lot better. :)
by snakecharmer on Sep 27, 2008 7:45 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm assuming she's his ex-girlfriend
and not his ex-wife, right? So he’s going to wait around for her for another year when he could be with you? Douchebag.
Yep! to both
An ex-girlfriend who even encouraged him to date while she was gone and yet he can’t get up the emotional energy to date me even in a non-serious way. (I swear, this is just like Sports Night… and I’m Pixley.)
So it’d probably be good to know… what time does the game start today? :) 5ish or 6:30ish?

Of course...
On the plus side, it prevented me from knowing that Glendon Rusch just struck out the side in order in the second.
Until now.

I shoulda picked up Rusch in my fantasy league as I need K’s and am neck and neck in the finals.
At least, I think I’m neck and neck ;-)

Yeah, same problem.
Tied at 5 going into today, and I think Santana’s gem is going to cost me strikeouts.
Even after the game, it is still messed up
From their scoring summary of the first inning:
- R. Spilborghs scored
- R. Spilborghs scored
Obviously, the Rockies cheated. Can we get one of those runs removed? It’d help Webb’s ERA, and means he’d earned the win.
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
ESPN's are only slightly better
They gave me this rundown for the bottom of the seventh:
Ryan Speier pitching for Colorado
A Romero hit for B Webb.
A Romero struck out swinging.
S Drew walked.
C Young singled to right, S Drew to second.
C Jackson grounded into double play, shortstop to second to first, C Young out at second.
A Romero hit for R Speier.

1-2-3 inning for Webb
Come on, offense, get some runs here.
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
Double for Eckstein
RBI #10 for Webb?
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
Nope
But a nice sacrifice bunt.
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
With anyone else
would have been safe at 1st, but then would have been on the basepaths which isn’t a good thing.
Young walks
CoJack up with runners at the corners, two outs.
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
I'm not going to do something as ludicrous
as saying having Webb lay down the bunt there is the wrong call, but still…
Webb’s splits for the season:
LHP: .240, 8 RBI
RHP: .073, 1 RBI
And CoJack Ks
Runner stranded.
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
Well
I’ve been frequenting the threads here for quite some time, and figured I’d get a word in before the season ends. This is the only game left in the season that matters…

It really sucks being a Dbax fan in Vegas. I go to two games every year with my dad, as he’s a Cubs fan (always more Chi fans in Phoenix when we go- why is that?), but we don’t get FSN Arizona, only LA… so I get every Dodger game, but zero Dbax games. Considering getting MLB Extra Innings…
Many
Midwesterners move to Arizona/Southwest to either retire, or make a career. Somehow, none of the ability to shake their pride of their previous area which almost always includes a passing interest at least in the Cubs.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Though
It’s still pretty awesome when the chant comes ever year, “Let’s go Cubbies, LET’S GO D-BACKS!”. It was a nice change this year, though, when everyone spotted a Yankees fan and chanted “YANKEES SUCK”.
When I was at the University of Arizona, half my sorority seemed to be from Chicago. Lots move here to get out of the cold.
There also
seem to be many people my age that say they’re from Chicago (or whatever), nevermind that they’ve grown up almost exclusively in Arizona.

So
you’re totally the biggest Cubz fan ever, right?
See, this a perfect example. You lived in the DC area, right? And went to Georgetown, so it makes sense that’d you like the DC area teams. Now, if you were trying to claim Chicago as your own, that’d just be weird.

I would have considered the MLB.tv package if Utah hadn’t been blacked out for Diamondbacks games.

Me too,

True, but when he homers, he's also seeing the ball well

We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
LOL it's fine
It happens all the time, I was just amused that it happened on a quiet night.

New rule needed
When Webb hits and drives in runs and then has to run the bases, he should get a 10-minute break before going out to pitch.
+100
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

Bases loaded, two outs

We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.

GREAT STUFF.

6-4
DREEEEEEEEEEEEW

This ump
has an epic mustache.

Out #3!!!
Actually, #27!
Too bad Webb didn’t win… but, the team won, and that’s important too. We’re now 81-80… WOW I can’t believe there’s only one game left!!! :( :(
Stupid KTAR
They sent me a text saying Webb got win #23. I had hoped I was mistaken and they were right, but, alas, no…
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
Mmmmmk.
Here’s how it happened.
I was all ready to completely ignore the game, until Wes and I went out for dinner and realized that the game was on (they had some shit college football game on) and that the Dbacks were winning 3-1, so I asked the waitress to turn on the game. By the time they turned on the game, it was 4-3, and Wes convinced me that I jinxed them. By the time we left in the 7th inning, they hadn’t scored, I was convinced they’d lose, and Wes was joking around that with our luck, they’d win by the time we were back (mostly because we weren’t there to watch it.)…and look at that. They did. I’m a jinx, and Wes is good luck. :-P
The fundamentals of the economy are strong. Mmmhm.

Wow, you as a jinx?
No one had ever put that theory forward before, had they? =)
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
Yeah.
You, and the rest of the ’Pit.
stfu, mmkay? :-)
At least at this point, my jinx-ness is completely irrelevant. :-) (and I’m not sure that deserves a smiley…)

It's okay
Due to my rigorous investigations, I’ve decided that Jim and I are never allowed to meet outside of Chase Field. When we have, the Diamondbacks have lost in depressing fashion.
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
I'm amused at tonight's roll call
It was so quiet tonight that, despite being gone for half the game, ’Skins STILL has 20+ more posts than the next nearest contributor!
DbacksSkins 56
soco 34
Azreous 33
TwinnerA 29
snakecharmer 28
kishi 23
hotclaws 21
Wailord 9
Scrbl 8
mrssoco 5
4 Corners Fan 5
Diamondhacks 3
emilylovesthedbacks 2
Jim McLennan 1
I’m more amused that everyone from hotclaws up individually outposted Purple Row’s 17 comments. =)
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
Half
of his comments were “sexist!”
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
Good point
Of course, only about half of his comments on a given day are relevant…

Irregardless!
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
Stop trying
to make “fetch” happen. It’s not going to happen!

If I've learned nothing from this season
I’ve at least learned what that’s a reference to, even if I haven’t seen said movie.
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
That'll teach you!
You can learn your lesson for next…well, season….
by snakecharmer on Sep 27, 2008 11:48 PM EDT up reply actions
Should we really teach that lesson?
Besides, I’ve tried beating ‘Skins in the post count. It’s a bit tiring.
And if you think you might be beating him, he’ll just make another 20 comments while you’re asleep.
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
That's pretty much it
it’s the sleep posts that kill me.
We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.
LOL
Yeah, the problem is, he will continue the damn conversation for ever and ever no matter how long ago it was resolved or how inane it is. And of course, the next morning, everybody but him has forgotten the point.

Oh, and I have an update for you
http://www.mercurynews.com/sports/ci_10579165
“Major League Baseball denied the Giants’ appeal to change a scoring decision from Tuesday’s game, a decision that effectively will cost Tim Lincecum the ERA title.”
….
“At least Webb, who leads the league in victories, failed to win No. 23 on Saturday.”
by snakecharmer on Sep 28, 2008 12:02 AM EDT up reply actions
Right.
That’s why you have to have such a crushing lead that there’s no hope for recovery. I did that last week. 60 comments proved to be enough. Barely.
At least if Skins is at tomorrow’s game, we’ll have a chance to build up a good lead before he gets back.
"Now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard [Hank Steinbrenner] say, and this is the third time I've said that this season."
I am
not yet sure whether to be offended.

Hmmm.... 6-4? Sounds vaguely familiar.
At least Webby didn’t get a loss, right? Hopefully Timcecum gets DESTROYED tomorrow.
