Arizona Diamondbacks at Colorado Rockies, Jul 4, 2009 8:10 PM EDT

First things first: tomorrow is scheduled to be a spot-starter on the recap, so if anyone is still interested in writing about the team, speak up in the comments and let me now. It's a Dan Haren start, so the Diamondbacks might not suck as much as usual.
Today marks the end of my month of sobriety. I usually try to knock off the alcohol for a month each year, give my liver a chance to recover - this year, it was June, but I got out of the habit of drinking, so it carried over a bit into July. However, Mrs. SnakePit came back from the supermarket today with a twelve-pack of Blue Moon, and I will be taking full advantage of it during this afternoon's start. To borrow a quote - and bonus points if you know what film this is from - "My advice to you, is to start drinking heavily."
The reason for this is simple. Petit has the highest home-run rate among pitchers with 150+ career innings pitched. Not "active" pitchers: that's all pitchers in the entire history of baseball. He's the only one above two per nine IP, at a rate of 2.14. Sending him to start in Coors Field therefore seems like... well, to borrow a quote from another movie:
"This is madness!"
"Madness? This is your 2009 Diamondbacks!"
Lineup
1. Stephen Drew SS
2. Alex Romero LF
3. Justin Upton RF
4. Mark Reynolds 3B
5. Miguel Montero C
6. Gerardo Parra CF
7. Chad Tracy 1B
8. Augie Ojeda 2B
9. Yusmeiro Petit P
Interesting line-up. No Young and no Lopez, perhaps the two most obvious targets for Reynolds' carefully-chosen words in last night's post-game comments. Drew moves back to lead-off, in Felipe's absence. We'll see what effect Special K's diatribe had on his team-mates. I'll be watching with interest, but reserve the right to get completely drunk and not produce a very coherent recap.

C'mon, Diamondbacks
Let’s at least end the first half the same way we started it- by tearing apart the Rockies pitching staff.

Ex-Dbacks in the news:
Micah pitches 6.2, gives up 2ER and hits a HR to lead Reds over Cards
Dunn hits 300th HR, singles to lead Nats over Braves
Callaspo gets two hits, 3 RBIs to lead Royals over ChiSox

From the Dunn story:
Dunn’s 300th home run ball was caught by U.S. Army Col. William Sanders, who returned it to Dunn, asking for nothing in return. Dunn gave him an autographed jersey, a couple of autographed baseballs and told Sanders to call him if he ever wanted tickets to a game.

I need something to entertain me. AGHHH boredom strikes again. And by the way, love the recent AAA call-up batting SECOND… Ouch. And with this lineup, I’d kinda like to see Montero there. Or if you’re leaving Flip out, I’d love for CY to be there. Oh well, it will (or should) happen when we trade Flip (all IMO).

Because it’s as optimistic as realists can get! Nationals won today too (fitting enough for the holiday)! Except I’m 19 in a house with zero sub-21-year-olds and six over-21-year-olds and can’t toast to shit. It’s depressing.

Congrats on your one month of no booze
I wish I could do that with smoking. 11 months on, then 1 month off. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. I’m going on 11 weeks and no falling off the wagon! Cold turkey is the way to go, I guess.

She thinks
she heard someone say she might be released on Monday. I guess all the tests say (finally) she doesn’t have TB, but if she is released, she will be on oxygen at home and have to have a walker and a caregiver, I think, of some sort. Scary to think that one month ago, she could care for her husband, her large home, herself, give family parties and now just a short time later, she is basically an invalid. I don’t know if she will “get better” and return in any way, shape or form to her previous health eventually or not. As for smoking, I really only think about it once or twice a day and the feeling passes.

Oaky then.
Q: Why does it get hot after a baseball game? A: Because all the fans leave!
A recent Scottish immigrant attends his first baseball game in his new country and after a base hit he hears the fans roaring run….run! The next batter connects heavily with the ball and the Scotsman stands up and roars with the crowd in his thick accent: “R-r-run, r-run will ya!” A third batter slams a hit and again the Scotsman, obviously pleased with his knowledge of the game, screams “R-r-run, r-r-run will ya!” The next batter held his swing at three and two and as the ump calls a walk the Scotsman stands up yelling “R-r-run, r-r-run!” All the surrounding fans giggle quietly and he sits down confused.
A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment whisper, “He doesn’t have to run, he’s got four balls.” After this explanation the Scotsman stands up in disbelief and screams, “Walk with pr-r-ride man! Walk with pr-r-ride!!!!”
One Day the Devil challenged the Lord to a baseball game. Smiling, the Lord proclaimed, “You don’t have a chance, I’ve got Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and all the greatest players up here.” “Yes”, laughed the devil, “but I have all the umpires!”

Two best friends
grow up playing baseball together, one of them a pitcher, and one of them an outfielder. The two are drafted out of high school by the same MLB team, and go up through the minors together. One day, one of them wonders out loud whether there’s baseball in heaven. The two decide that whoever dies first should return to tell the other about baseball in heaven.
The two make the majors, but sadly, one day, the outfielder steps off a curb and gets run down by a car. The pitcher, devastated, goes on to have a Hall of Fame-worthy career. One day, in his 40s and the twilight of his pitching career, The pitcher comes home and finds his friend sitting at his kitchen table.
The outfielder opens his mouth to speak, and tells him, "Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we do, indeed, have pitching in Heaven.
The bad news is that you’re scheduled to start next Thursday."

Forget baseball. The next 81 games of the season? Cricket rules. FSN showed us that Mark can wield the cricket bat with much prowess. As I understand it, those throws Petit makes that bounce into the catcher would be legal. And we could throw every pitch at Manny and it wouldn’t be illegal, right?

You NEVER make the first or third out at third.
Parra was bunting Miggy over to third, and completely missed the ball.
That’s on GP, not Miggy. There’s no way Miggy tries to steal 3rd on his own.

why is he starting over any other choice we could have made? buckner, auggy, or some other pitcher that actually is performing well and deserves a chance, bc i dont think petits AAA stint should grant him a big league start.

I'd say the error was the right call
If he hadn’t caught the ball, it’s a hit, but once he did, he had plenty of time to make the throw, he just rushed it and threw it wide. It was a highlight reel play to catch it, but a definite error on the throw.
