PrintArizona Diamondbacks at New York Mets, Aug 3, 2009 7:10 PM EDT

It may seem strange to be concerned about a starting pitcher with a 2.19 ERA, but Dan Haren's three outings since the All-Star Break have definitely been concerning. While an ERA of 3.50 is still by no means bad, his last two starts have lasted only five innings, and the K:BB ratio in the second half has been below 3:1, compared to better than 8:1 in the first half. Small sample size noted, his WHIP is 50% higher than it was. I'd like to see Haren get back to being the dominant force he was, and facing the Mets line-up in a pitcher-friendly park might be the place to do it.
Figueroa is - forceful comments in his defense aside - a career journeyman, and beating up on Triple-A prospects as a 35-year old does not change that fact. He pitched overseas in 2007, becoming MVP of the Taiwin Series, and actually made his debut as a Diamondback in June 2000. He only pitched three times for us, being part of the Schilling trade with the Phillies. He hasn't had a major-league ERA+ better than 93 since 2003, so if he ends up pitching a quality start against us, I am going to be highly peeved.
Line-up
- Stephen Drew SS
- Gerardo Parra LF
- Justin Upton RF
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Miguel Montero C
- Ryan Roberts 2B
- Josh Whitesell 1B
- Chris Young CF
- Dan Haren P
Reynolds back in the line-up, so let's see if he can go deep once again at Citi Field. Whitesell gets the start at 1B, and Young is back in CF. Should be about for most of this one, and am optimistic we can win it and take three out of four in Met-town.

I was just thinking....
how great is it to have a catcher who’s a legitimate #5 bat in the lineup??

Random thought of the day.
Why the heck does Omar Minaya still have a job??
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
It takes a genius...
..to trade away Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore, and Brandon Phillips for half a season of Bartolo Colon
Good news about Webby's surgery it seems.
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.
I was
just thinking the same thing, although somehow, I doubt it’ll only be “3-4 months of rehab”.

Well,he has kept pretty fit so the time could be relatively short.

Another random thought....
How many of us have actually had greasy shady people show up at our homes for window replacement?
Oh, nearly constantly
In fact, jus- hold on, gotta go answer the door.
See, more of them? Why won’t they understand I can only trust a woman who’s selling windows?

I’m pretty impressed with Nelson Figueroa so far.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK!!
#31!!
2-0.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Hopefully, we won’t have to give his birthday cake to Drew this time.

Mark!
He needs to spend more times in pitcher’s parks, obviously. 2-0
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Also,
dammit GP! If you hadn’t gotten thrown out, it’s 3-0.
That’s twice in 2 games we’ve had a baserunning gaffe immediately bite us in the ass.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Mark
I’m sad I’m not allowed to use sparkly gifs everytime I post his name.
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.
And Miggy!
Gone. Kinda like a certain journeyman pitcher soon will be, I’d suspect.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
And
now Miggy makes it 3-0.
But it COULD be 4-0.
This Nelson Figueroa guy is AWESOME.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Okay, yeah....
it kinda makes you wonder how the heck these guys swept the Rockies just last week.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

Well if Mark can do it?

Now, you're getting it!
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
They tend to be
quite laid-back and well-adjusted, right?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Aren't most New York sports fans?
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."

Naturally.
It’s a very laid back city. The media are very tranquil, too.

See?
The crowd is applauding as they come to pull Figueroa, saying “Hey, Nelson, you gave it a shot. We understand!”
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Now RyRo gets a hit.
No HR? DFA the bastard!

C'mon, Big Josh.
Your turn.

And....
CY pops it up. Fail.
Damn. I wanted Haren to get a double in the 1st inning.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Dangit, CY
I was hoping we’d turn over the lineup here. Or see some HarenSmash.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."

Ah,we need to pace ourselves.

So,
what if next year we go for an all-offense, no-defense lineup: C-Miggy, 1B-Allen, 2B-Reynolds, 3B-Glaus (signed as a FA), SS-Drew, LF-Pollack, CF-GP, RF-Upton?
We couldn’t field the ball for shit, but we’d have a lineup that’d absolutely crush the cover off the ball.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

hey
Mark isn’t that bad

It's this damn pitcher's park!
Double from Drew, he’s scored by Parra, and then back-to-back homers from Miggy and Montero.

Now, time for some HARENSMASH!!

Here's an idea
Let’s start off this inning with another double.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Here's another idea
next time, let’s not start Faily McFail in CF.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Haren
tries to make it 4-0, but alas, it’s a pitcher’s park.
Even though that didn’t help our pitcher.

I’m not fond of Pagan.

"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
I thought
that wasn’t actually Hell yet?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
It's hell
In Dante, Limbo is the first level of Hell, separate from Purgatory.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Except
that there was absolutely nothing negative about limbo. The only bad part was the separation from God.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Kind answered your own question there
They’re being punished by the fact that they are forever separated from God.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Yeah, but
that’s only the absence of something that COULD be better.
It’s like if the Dbacks never won a WS, but the fans never had to suffer through a losing season, either.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
It's way worse than that
It’s not just the absence of something that could better, but the acute, eternal awareness that you’re lacking something that is waaaaaaaaaaaay, and no matter what you’ll do, you’ll never get it. It’s like being hungry and spending eternity sitting outside the finest restaurant in the world, and knowing you’ll never get in.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
No, because
in that situation, the very presence of unquenchable hunger makes it a punishment, and ergo more of a Hell situation than limbo.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
That's why it's the first circle of Hell
They’re eternally mourning their separation from God.

Can we

Maybe
And also petition that they rename Citi Field after Mark.

You’re thinking small. I say we force Bud to make every MLB team retire the #27…. just like Jackie Robinson.

Jerry Manuel had to run out there
to grab him. He didn’t want Figueroa to miss the 8PM Greyhound bus to Buffalo.

That’s very classy of them to cheer for Figueroa even in the face of such a lousy outing. They’re such forgiving fans here in NY.

Fortunately for the Mets, up next is Faily McFail.

Agh!
The cursed McFail clan! I heard it was one of their shipwrights who assured White Star Line that he could build an unsinkable ship.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Yeah,
but it was designed by Randy Winn.

True enough
Only a McFail would outsource such an important job.

As CY is the final out of the inning. Again.

If it weren't for Chris Young...

The TV crew
are under the impression that Mark’s 462-ft homer in the 1st was the longest HR yet hit in Citi Field.
If so, that’d be impressive…. Mark has the longest in Chase, the longest in the Majors, and the longest in Citi.

That's
two straight innings now of no runs.
Ugh, we’re on a shutout streak now. :-(
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Mark
actually IS at the top of the Golden Sledgehammer leaderboard, at an avg of 418.6 ft standard distance. Nelson Cruz is 2nd at 418.4 ft.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
I think
Mark, in a way, almost has a disadvantage, because he can just muscle pitches just over the wall that would be long, loud outs for other batters.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
I used to think that, too.
But, while Mark IS tied for the NL lead with 10 “Just Enough”‘s, he’s still 3rd in the NL with 10 “No Doubt”’s.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
So
He’s split, 33% on each category? Compared to the averages, which they say “The league averages for 2006 were 27% JE, 55% PL and 18% ND.” So he’s actually a little ahead on just enoughs, and way ahead on no doubts.

Cabrera’s got better career numbers than Petit, I think, so he might be an upgrade. If we’re just looking at a minor league contract to start, it might be worth giving him a shot to turn things around.

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.
WTF?
Luis Castillo pretends to get HBP on a ball nowhere near him, but the umpire knows the truth… (since it hit HIM instead)

Better inning from Haren
Let’s see the offense back on track, too.

Agree with Gracie.
Haren should have been given the option of pitching the 8th.

Here's another commercial I don't get
If the guy is walking close enough to the money to put the box over it AND SET UP THE STICK, why not just CLOSE IT then??

In case
it runs away at Roadrunner speed?

At which point
it would have already run away and the trap would be useless.

Really
I’m just not a fan of those ads in general.

Me neither.
They hit gold with the gecko, then silver with the cavemen… but the googly-eyed money is just pot metal or something.

Unfortunately,
he does this every year.
Pray that I’m wrong.

I think he just wears down.
He’s looks like he’s got zero body fat and probably loses weight over the season, unlike Webby who always looks like he could drop a few lbs.
So
Two home runs and a nice defensive play in the sixth? Mark’s earned that birthday cake this year.

Damn
I knew I should have thrown another party!
You are both wrong, for I, SOCO, am the BIG Anime Fan!!
Yes
You should have.

One actually made out
to him, this year, and not to Drew? :)
