Another afternoon game? What is this?
After the vast disappointment that was yesterday's game, it's a little difficult to get too charged up over today's outing, particularly looking at the numbers Lohse is putting up on the mound. However, he is in a slump of sorts. He's putting together good numbers, but the Cardinals have won only once in his last eight starts. In that span, he's gone eight innings twice and gotten NDs for his effort. So it'd be great if we can continue that.
For our number, Doug Davis will take the mound. After some rough starts at the beginning of August, Doug has looked better his past few go-rounds, giving us our only win in the Dodgers series, though that should properly be attributed to the offense.
Looking at the lineup, I note that Justin Upton is on the bench again- still no word of any diagnosis, but I'd guess the headaches are still bugging him.
Just about ten minutes before first pitch here, so I'll post this quick. Let's go, D-backs!

Let’s hope that your GDT works better today than it did yesterday, Kishi.

I certainly hope so.
I’ve done what I can, now it’s up to the team.

Our lineup
S. Drew ss .287
D. Eckstein 2b .375
C. Jackson lf .293
A. Dunn rf .240
M. Reynolds 3b .242
C. Tracy 1b .261
C. Young cf .246
C. Snyder c .241

The key to the game, according to the radio team, is “offensive consistency.” Well, duh.

I’m sick as a dog and at home watching the game. That throw was right into the runner on a charging play from third. A bad angle for that throw. I can’t hang that E on Trace. His mitt was run into by the batter.
by foulpole on Sep 3, 2008 5:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I saw the play
The throw may not have been good enough to record the out, but a throw is never “into” the runner, unless the 1Ber misplays the ball. His first job is to keep the runner out of scoring position, and similar to Drew’s “error” in the LA series, Tracy failed to do his job.
Hope you feel better

Now
Should I tell Mrs. SnakePit it was an afternoon game, or amaze her with my precognitive prowess tonight? :-)

It would probably be for the best.
Though I am gullible enough that soco could pull that over on me. Your wife seems much quicker and more intelligent than me. And just about as thwack-y when neccesary. ;)

I almost got away with it in Colorado
Until she noticed it was still broad daylight – and for some reason, wouldn’t take my explanation that that days are much longer at altitude because they’re closer to the sun… Of course, with the roof closed today…

I don't remember when it was
But early in the season I was watching what I thought was a live game at my mom’s house for like an hour before I noticed that it was really weird that Byrnes got a homer in the third and then Reynolds got on base and it all looked SO familiar. Of course, then I called soco and he told me that it was a repeat and I am brain dead. ;)

I don't know, Jim
Might want to hedge your bets- I mean, are you really sure they can pull off that rally twice in a row?

Nope
Reynolds = -23.6%
Young = -29.2%
CY was also 0-for-4, but left seven men on base, I think.
by Jim McLennan on Sep 3, 2008 7:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
And, actually, no
Chris Young. He had an inning ending double play and hit into two inning-ending fielder’s choices, one of which came with the bases loaded.

Bad luck on what would have been a bases loaded double that Glaus made the great play on.

For blowing the save and the game, Perez sits at an impressive -79.1%.

Good point made in the post-game
Melvin’s mad science worked out today- his pinch hitters reached, Augie did well at third, the bullpen held the Cardinals scoreless.

Also in post-game
Melvin said he had “notes for a speech” that he was going to give after the game. He said he’ll save it… he better!! I had hoped he would yell at them after yesterday…

And we still only won by one run
If it takes all that to get us a victory…

Hey --
that’s at least two things today’s game had in common with last season. I’m not gonna argue, are you?

Agreed.
That’s a very good point, with the exception of not PHing for Reynolds. Glad he chose not to pull Dunn and put in TC.
We rake Melvin over the coals when he loses, so ya gotta give him credit for doing well, too.

Add that to the fact that the Cubs are skipping Harden’s next start for injury concerns…. oh yeah, and high-priced FA Kosuke Fukudome is hitting .215/.300/.316 since July 1st…….

Rockies got clubbed
By Bazza and the Giants, and are back to six back again. That feels a lot safer than five, for some reason…

Normally
when Grace and Sutt get on the crowd’s passivity, I get pretty pissed [long story], but they did in the ninth, after Drew’s triple, and I gotta say – the crowd sounded really invisible given the circumstances. Battling tooth & nail against a quality closer (and LaRussa’s Cards) in September; fighting to keep first place against the resurgent (and hated) Dodgers?
People talk about “no heart”. Our crowd barely started cheering until Jackson slid across the plate. They must’ve been office drones dragged to a team building event ;-)
by Diamondhacks on Sep 3, 2008 7:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Agreed
The crowd seemed really quiet all game. I expected some more noise from them, especially since this was a Redheads game.

I noticed a lot of empty seats
of course, not nearly as many empty seats as the Marlins has today – only 600 fans were there at first pitch!

If 600 fans bought tickets to support the team in that heat, hopefully ushers let them sit up nice and close. Any owner interested in building a fan base would insist on it.

Of course,
since they count season tickets and other such nonsense, officially, the attendance was 11,211….

I dont have an issue with
the count. They sold the tickets. I just think it would be nice if they got on the PA in the fourth or fifth inning, and told people to sit anywhere they want – with a disclaimer about being courteous to those around you, blah,blah,blah. Maybe sitting near the dugout could win over some upper deck kid for life.
Building relationships. It’s what I’m all about.

But even the people at the game weren’t into it until that last hit.

Apart from the small size
I think there is a more passive quality to the weekday crowds generally, at least the games I’ve attended. Less drinking, presumably – and I was only half kidding about the team building thing.
Maybe the heat plays a role. It’s just not an electric atmosphere.

I had a rant session about baseball in general with my friend Jackie this morning. I’m sure it’s something that doesn’t come up in the hallways of the music building very often. Got some crazy looks, and I’m starting to believe that girls that like baseball really are that few and far between. ::sigh:: sad day.
