SnakePitFestApalooza! We'll be coming at you in high-definition from sections 136 and 137 at Chase Field. Most of the usual troublemakers will be in attendance there - so I don't expect 'charmer and Azreous to have too much trouble keeping GDT participants in check.
Since we'll be handing out tickets at Sliders, not sure if we'll quite be there in time for the pre-game show, honoring Luis Gonzalez. There's a pre-game press conference on Fox Sports Arizona at 4pm, and on Sunday, the post-game 10th Inning show has Todd Walsh interviewing Luis about retirement and his future. Above, is a clip of the interview, and below is some audio clippage - this has Derrick Hall talking about Gonzo, and also John Hester discussing his arrival in the big leagues, and his first at-bat home-run.
Audio courtesy of KTAR 620
Couple of roster moves to mention. Our prodigal centerfielder has returned from the wilderness, Young getting called back up from Reno - the bad news is, Trent Oeltjen has been optioned to Triple-A, which probably renders half of our signs tonight irrelevant. Chris Snyder has returned to the DL with his back issues, and Daniel Schlereth barely gets time to drop his bags off, before his recall - really, he replaces Jon Rauch, with Hester replacing Snyder.
Hopefully, we'll see a continuance of resurgent offense, and today's starting pitcher for Houston proved very helpful the last time we met him - that was Sunday [coincidentally, when we were at Torospalooza], as he allowed six runs while retiring only three batters, on six hits and three walks. More of that would certainly be very welcome, and Jon Garland will be hoping for it; he got the win that day, despite a non-quality start, going six innings and allowed four earned runs.
Line-up
- Stephen Drew SS
- Ryan Roberts 2B
- Justin Upton RF
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Miguel Montero C
- Chris Young CF
- Gerardo Parra LF
- Brandon Allen 1B
- Jon Garland P
And with that, I'm readying myself for departure. A full recap will probably be a bit late tonight, for obvious reasons - I'm hoping 'charmer can post a quick stub one afterwards for post-game chatter, and I'll then fill in the blanks whenever I get home. Here's to a D-backs victory!

Poor Oeltjen?
Poor us… Ever since that brilliant 12-24 start, he’d gone 5-44. And he just absolutely can’t draw walks against major-league pitching for some reason. It was gross.

But more as a protest than anything else. CoJack can’t even console me due to his scary hobo facial hair! If the Racing Gracies premiere I might just have to give up on the game entirely.

Just know this - my only real words of wisdom
If you think you want to be a math major because every math class is just solving problems to get to one solution and there are no definitions or crap, then pick a different major. Linear Algebra, Probability, and Math Reasoning are all definition-based. So far only Calc 3 and Differential Equations are solution-based.

Actually
I just started my sophomore year. I’ve only taken real basic stuff so far (Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2) but all of them were honors classes and I’ve never received lower than an A in any of them so they all help out my GPA quite a bit. I’d really like to get into the statistical side of baseball, but I never figured out how to break into it…

Algebra 2
includes Trig, fyi.

Very nice
Where at? And I had the same experience with the honors math classes. I ended with a 4.2 pretty much because of them. And really, all you need to do with the baseball stats is just start looking at them and comparing them, which admittedly takes a lot more free-time than I currently have (but which I did have during the summer).

My math teacher last year won teacher of the year in 2003 from RadioShack or something (I think). Check out the website. At the moment, weighted, my GPA is… like 3.85 or something.

The 51's were
the Dodgers AAA team, but it turns out that Vegas has such pathetic facilities here that we were dumped. LA picked up the Albuquerque Isotopes and Toronto picked us up. See how pathetic that is? Not only were we dumped by an MLB team because our baseball field sucks, but the NBA said they aren’t hosting anything else here because the lights and power went out at the T&M Center when the NBA ASG was held here… and to think we thought we were gonna get the Marlins or Expos. Answer to other question in another reply.

This
Is depressing. But some league will still go there. The market’s too big, and the money to be made in Vegas is too tantalizing. Just be patient. Does anybody really think Memphis can be an NBA city? No.

Only problem being
to my knowledge, there are severe ramifications if we have a sports team because we can’t bet on certain things or something like that. I forget exactly what it’s like… but seriously, Las Vegas’s only teams are in the upcoming UFL (the Locomotives? Really?), some unknown hockey league, and a AAA baseball team for a Canadian team. Oh, and we used to have an XFL team.
Warning: the above represents the thoughts and opinions of a 15-year-old. Be afraid.
Yeah,
But if you make the market big enough, and the gambling black-market enough, it’ll be there. The glitz already is, and we all know David Stern LOVES glitz.

Oh, and on the topic of a large market
First off, we have more people here than the following cities: Portland, Atlanta, Sacramento, Kansas City, Cleveland, Miami, Oakland, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Tampa, Anaheim, Cincinatti, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Jersey City, and Orlando.
If you include Henderson, NV (which people consider Las Vegas) and North Las Vegas (how is this separate?), which I didn’t when finding the above, we’d have 1,027,700 people, meaning we’d have more people than San Jose, Detroit, San Francisco, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Memphis, Baltimore, Boston, Milwaukee, Denver, Seattle, Nashville, and DC as well.

You have more people than San Fran
but San Jose has a million+ too, especially “if you include” all the little surrounding cities!

DC
is roughly the size of Pima County, population-wise. BUT…. not only is there a ton of money there, but there are a TON of populous suburbs, especially in NoVA.
Besides, if you ask Peter Angelos, he’d tell you that DC and Baltimore are part of the same market….

I actually have an awesome reason
for being a Dbacks fan. Basically, when I was around seven or eight, I knew nothing of sports or ESPN. My dad had always been a Cubs fan, so I subsequently was a “fan” as well. My mom was buying an embroidered Cubs shirt and asked me if I liked any other teams (of course I didn’t). I asked to see my options, and at the top of the dropdown box was Arizona (why I didn’t go for Anaheim, I do not know- still makes me wonder). I picked AZ and decided to get a book on the Dbacks at school. I read up on them and decided to watch games when they were on. After watching a few, I picked up on SportsCenter (and subsequently, ESPN). A few years down the road I picked up NFL and eventually NBA, and now I’m a sports buff. Pretty awesome, no? All started with a shirt… ;P

But I’m trying to decipher precisely what my Probability textbook is trying to tell me. I understand the fact that math professors might not be the best at writing English, but if you’re going to write a textbook, at least make sure that it’s clear what information you’re giving instead of making it grammatically possible to have any number of possibilities.

But yes to retiring the number.

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.
nice base running to the other 3 too

I saw Jim, Chris, Moira, Ann, the baby, and I guess that’s Liz & Timm? Maybe Katie? I didn’t see Phil or Emily?

Sadly
Phil was on the far end of the row.

Yeah....
I was down with Turambar the eternal jinxer and BattleMoses. There were a few randoms between us and most of the ’Pit.

Sprankton was down there
sitting behind us, too, although he didn’t introduce himself until after the game.

We
were sitting directly to the left of the McLennans.
You are both wrong, for I, SOCO, am the BIG Anime Fan!!
Oh... then who was below you
holding the SnakePit sign??

Ohhhhh!
Can I please have a copy of this? I brought when of my friends along, and he thought he was just going to a game; instead he got swag, nice seats, and an appearance on TV!

What kinda swag did you get??
Yeah when I have some time I’ll connect the tivo to the computer and do a capture.

Bizarrely
We got multiples. We got them when we arrived, and then went over to Sliders to hand out tickets. On the way back in, we got MORE. So I think it’s safe to say you are covered. :-)

I.m glad the Pit got a game to enjoy

Wish I could have been to the game.
Then again, I saw a thrashing of the Cubs earlier (albeit seeing Chicago reverse it the next day)…

And lastly
I had no idea Upton was only 22 (and just turned). He’s downright amazing for being so young. It’s incredible… I thought he was late 20s, like 28ish.

he is a beast
saw the line drive HR?

I didn't
I was out shopping and I was checking the scoring summary and saw he had a blast. Was it el monstero?

well, Reynolds hit one a mile out
Upton’s one wasnt long, but way quicker

He just has incredibly strength
Actually, that applies to both of them. Reynolds is having a fantastic year and it’s definitely a huge, massive bright spot. He’s behind Pujols by a home run! I hope he wins the HR crown…

Er, I'm sort of dumb

The most ridiculous thing
is that I’m in Phoenix today. Ultimately I could’ve gone to today’s game.
Ah well.
Oh noes!
You should have come!

Just had no way of knowing.
A month beforehand when ticket sales closed, I figured there was like a 5 percent chance I could make it. That chance hit.
Crap
And we had a spare too.

But then
I would have had to sit out in Montana.

Incidentally,
thank you for letting us sit where our seats were supposed to be. Alexis wasn’t being such a happy camper, and finding three seats together probably would’ve killed all of us. :-)

Well, you just would have sat in OUR seats
at the end of the row. (All 3 of them) But no problem… I mean, they WERE your seats, after all.
