Games till the end of the season: 3
Surprise! Good morning, everybody, and guess what, there's a day game, and the Diamondbacks managed to score 3 runs while nobody noticed.
This is the beginning of the end for these 2009 Arizona Diamondbacks, as they end the season on the road against Chicago. As mentioned yesterday, they have to take 2 of 3 to get to 70 wins this season. Not much to say at this point - let's just hope the team ends the season on a high note.

What?
Today’s an early start?! Wow, and so is the rest of the series. 10:05 tomorrow? Geez!
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Wow
Well, at least the offense realized…
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Nice work by AZ
A double away from the cycle for the inning, and Drew went all the way from first to home without another hit…
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Is the site sticky for anybody else?
It took SBN forever to save the changes to the GDT…
BTW, I’m confused on the game count. Are we one game down? Three more games puts us at only 161 for the season..
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
took a
very long while for the site to load
Professional Lurker... if you see this, there may be a problem..
Zero by Buckner
I hardly recognize any names in the Cubs lineup. Looks like their B-roster?

Yes, it's slow...
Though you clearly can comment. Twice. :-)
We’re 68-91, which is 159 games. Plus three = 162?
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
So today should be game #160
but yesterday you said it was #158. Which is why I only added 1 to my count. :) Okay, I’ll go change it. Just makin sure!
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
I think next year
I’ll just keep repeating Game #’s till we win one…
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Well it's loading faster now
but wow it was incredibly slow the first 5 times!

Not just us
I tried to load up BCB and it’s like playing tennis in quicksand.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Must be an SBN thing...
They’ve had some incredible lag times ever since they redesigned the home page.

Oh and when I turned the game on
Daron was discussing some of the costumes they wore. :D

Wind blowing out at Wrigley today
Could be a high-scoring affair. Good job Buckner’s a GB pitcher. Temperature in the 40’s too, according to BCB. Kinda like Arizona this week: except ours was Celsius, not Fahrenheit…
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
don't
forget the rain and the 2016 disappointment falling….
Professional Lurker... if you see this, there may be a problem..
Snark aside
Really, I think all it took was a summer trip by the IOC. Summer in Chicago = not fun, according to my colleagues.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
well I wonder when everyone
will stop playing the blame game and simply be happy for Rio, I think it’s a fine thing that the Olympics finally come to South America, I don’t think Obama had a lot to do with the dealings in the backroom, and I don’t think it’s a failure on his part. A decision was made by a group of folks representing countries from all over the world deciding on a spot to have a sporting event. The games have NEVER been to South America, I think it was simply time to rectify that.
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
Party in Rio!
The FCC will have their hands full censoring the opening ceremonies.
Key to the game: Score More
I, for one, am glad
Nobama had no business wasting all out money on that trip.
Glad the IOC put him in his place.
yeah so where's our refund
from George W.’s four day trip to Beijing?
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
What i miss?
Have our boys mailed in this game yet?
"Yeah I could have been king, but maybe I already am king. Hail to the king baby." Ash from Army of Darkness
Yeah i saw
"Yeah I could have been king, but maybe I already am king. Hail to the king baby." Ash from Army of Darkness
Might have the umpire guys 'charmer mentioned behind home plate?
Going by the comments on BCB.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Except I'm confused
I thought they only call the home team’s pitchers, and they’re not doing it for the home team right now?
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
Oh, they are
they’re just not wearing the masks.

And another on-base for Young
Up to Ryal for some two-out damage.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
They couldn't do any of this GOOD STUFF
while I was SITTING RIGHT THERE???
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
HEY!
I provided a good scoop, I get saved till next year! :P
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
I don't think they're even mailing it
They appear to be using a network of bonfires, semaphore flags and galleys.

waits for the beacons to be seen
In Rohan before heading to the stables.
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
Didn’t we have this same question last time the DBacks went to San Francisco?
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Boo! Hester makes an out.
The only guy to be 0-for-2 so far. :-(
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Given Snyderman's Injury
Hester will get another year at AAA to get better.
He won’t hurt your feelings next Sept.
Good news: their starter is gone
Bad news: the PH singles to lead off their third.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Hahaha, Zavada's grandmother is SO CUTE
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
Hers isn't visible.
Dustin’s got a pretty good stache, tho. Grandmom has a DBacks jersey that has the number 80 and “Ruthie” on it. Clay sent it to her for her 80th birthday.

Aaaaaand
The radio feed is apparently having some technical difficulties. Whoops.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
thank god
Wailord is in school or there would be bear pics galore.
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
..A Cubs fan wishes....
that someone would invent some sort of device to keep the sun out of your eyes.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Wailord not present + no bears
= a 7-0 lead.
I think we all can draw the obvious conclusion.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Ah
So that whirring noise is the Banhammer startup sequence.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
"By any means necessary"
I may need to update my sig to “Win, or kill Wailord.”
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Ah
but what about meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
I'm new
and I’m orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrange!

Unpossible!

Buckner bends, but doesn't break
Another two men stranded.
I’m feeling more and more hopeful he’ll be okay as our #5 next season.

Young on for the third time today.
BA up to .210. It’s been a while…

good gravy

Well, technically...
It was just a bit deeper than usual. By about 400 feet. :-) Wind-assisted, I suspect…

the Podbacks
they’ve appeared before,

So, uh,
what about those Diamondbacks?
(I’ve been in class, and realize there’s a game and it’s 7-0. What a day)

Anyone else
Having issues with the thread not auto-refreshing? I have to refresh to see any new comments.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Nope.
I am having issues with not being able to follow the game. I guess I’ll leave now.

A walk for Reynolds
Buckner the only starter not to have reached safely now.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
And another hit for Young
Three today, plus a walk. Dare we hope for 2010?
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
A triple from the cycle
And a chance he’ll get another at-bat to get it.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
hmm..
I forgot…what happens when you go past 9 runs?
Professional Lurker... if you see this, there may be a problem..
Three hit game for Byrnes
And we reach double-figures.
Can we play the Cubs every day?
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
It says something about this year...
…that I look at a 10-1 score and think, “Yeah, but the 8th inning is yet to come.”
Former D-back Koyie Hill
Has two of the three Cubs hits today. Time for a “Are you Pablo in disguise?” chant.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Ok
Bucker at 100 pitches. First two on for Chicago. I’d thank him warmly and send him to the showers.
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Zavada
oops!
Professional Lurker... if you see this, there may be a problem..
It must be automatic for him to reach for a ball coming his way.
Now he looks like he’s SO embarrassed.
base hit down the line
bounced toward the pen. Clay protecting grabbed, then dropped it.
Key to the game: Score More
Hahahaha
I TiVOd the game when I went out, I can’t wait to rewind and watch this.

10-1
And I think we know who to blame that run on…
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Aw, poor Clay
Making a mistake like that when half his hometown showed up to watch. =)
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Just his way
Of be sure he makes the highlight reel. :-)
When we’re ten up, I’m less inclined to be harsh, but I’ll reserve any light tap on the wrist until the game is over!
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Lucky for Clay the Rookie Costumes were LAST night
Or someone would dress him up in something really dreadful.
Oh he already was dressed as something dreadful ;)
I don’t know what it was but it was horrible!
Things ’Skins has in common with foulpole for 400, please. -- soco
Alright
later, homies. Keep this win alive for me!
I am Shiva the Destroyer, your harbinger of doom this evening.

10-2, still juiced with one out
Absolutely no reason to be nervous.
So why am I?
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
you has a brain?

End of seven
Still up by seven.
I’d like to see us add on here.

yeah
besides, if you’re gonna use a lefty, let Clay pitch in front of his family.
Maybe in the ninth.

Probably just
To stop him trapping any more balls down the line

CY singles!

I guess he figured out what he'd been doing wrong most of the year.
And good for him, too. Makes me feel better about his future.
Boo!
Only singles. Sheesh. He could easily have made it to third.
Where’s that Coors scorer when we really need him?
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
AGAIN!
Eric Byrnes doesn’t pop up!
Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach
OMG Eric!

A 4 hit game.
Unbelievable. Why doesn’t he play like that usually?

Professional Lurker... if you see this, there may be a problem..
a funny from Schulte
popped foul behind 1st base, with Zavada out of the way it’ll be an easy play for Hoffpauir…..

I think the mustache has been a great find,
he seems to be able to play a few roles.
