Arizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers, Aug 31, 2009 10:10 PM EDT
|
|
A chance for Arizona to make a statement, and help out both the Rockies and Giants, with a four-game series against the division-leading Dodgers. Los Angeles hit a rough patch after the All-Star break, and saw their lead cut from nine, to as little as two games just last week. However, they have righted the ship of late, taking two of three from both the Rockies and Reds on the road, and return to Dodger Stadium where they are 40-25, the second-best home record in the NL [the Cardinals are 41-25].
Having managed to pull a win out against a left-handed starter yesterday, the Diamondbacks get to 'enjoy' another opposing southpaw today. We've already seen Wolf three times this season, and he is 2-0 with a 3.92 ERA against us in those starts - the one time we got to him, for five runs in six innings, the bullpen let him off the hook with one of their patented eighth-inning meltdowns. Davis has faced Los Angeles twice in 2009, allowing six earned runs in 10.1 innings, so advantage Dodgers probably there.
However, the Diamondbacks have got their ship righted, sweeping the Astros over the weekend, and are on a four-game winning streak. They will have to do it without Chad Qualls, as Nick Piecoro reports he will have surgery on the knee, ending his season - Billy Buckner replaces him on the roster, according to the Dbacksinsider Twitter feed. In the same story, Nick Piecoro says two teams are apparently interested in Jon Garland, with a view to getting him available for their post-seas roster. We'll see how that goes.
Line-up
- Ryan Roberts LF
- Rusty Ryal 2B
- Justin Upton RF
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Miguel Montero C
- Chris Young CF
- Brandon Allen 1B
- Augie Ojeda SS
- Doug Davis P
Might be a bit late, as we're watching Rocknrolla, but should about for most of this one.

I still subscribe
to the thought that he is more valuable as an above average starter.
However, if next year he shows no improvment in pitching further into games, I would be on board withgiving him a shot down there.

Surgery
Diamondbacks closer Chad Qualls will undergo surgery in the next few days to repair a torn patella femoral ligament in his left knee, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Qualls will need three to four months before he is back at full strength, Hinch said, which should give him plenty of time to be ready for spring training next year.

There's
probably not much you can tell me, but the MCC colleges have forced all the students to use a new “Google Apps” email for official emails. Luckily we can set up a forwarding address, but it doesn’t seem to want to forward any mail from there to my Gmail. I dunno if it’s just a stupid Maricopa.edu problem or if there’s an end-around I can do.

Problem is
He went up the system as a leadoff man and seems to have worse performance anytime he’s out of that spot. It’s uncanny.

his OBP still doesn’t play in the leadoff, but his OPS/wOBA doesn’t play anywhere else other than like 6th or 7th

Garland has a TEN MILLION DOLLAR option for 2010. There is absolutely no chance he was going to be retained. Also, he sucks, so there is no chance he would even be a Type B. So since we were gonna lose him outright, might as well get something for him.

“It is a variation of the Oggy Oggy Oggy chant used by both Soccer and rugby fans in Britain from the 1970s onwards. "
I watch enough rugby,soccer and cricket to know this.

Don't know...
about early-20th century Nazis, but the music of neo-Nazi skinheads (e.g. Skrewdriver) is referred to as Oi! I’ve spent enough years on the hardcore punk scene to know that. That’s probably what is confusing NASCAR. I think the name of the music more to do with the link between Brit skinheads and soccer hooliganism (and the aforementioned oggy, oggy, oggy, oi, oi, oi chants), though. Anyone who’s ever watched the British version of The Office has heard Gareth use the chant, too. He may be an ass, but I’d be hesitant to suggest that a character on a major British sitcom was using Nazi slogans.

As someone pointed out above
Oi is tied to skinheads, but not all skinheads are neo-nazis. A lot of the Oi punk bands were anti-establishment, and sometimes socialist.

Not really the issue...
Arte’s not just about profits. He’s a sportsfan who happens to have the money to spend. Proof? The guy is a major donor to U of A athletics. He’s not the Jim Click type who trots out U of A stuff in commercials. He’s the type who stays in the background and keeps his mouth shut while pouring millions into the program. He and Click are the reasons Arizona could pay Sean Miller and give Stoops an extension all in the same year. U of A athletics takes no money from the state. It is a self-supporting entity. The reasons for that are the boosters. Add in the fact that his is not the major MLB franchise in the LA area, yet he spends. I just think Arizona would have been radically better off if Colangelo hadn’t been so self-important.

See here
If he had his way, he would have bought the Diamondbacks instead of the Angels. He tried and failed, losing out in a bitter and personal showdown with former owner Jerry Colangelo. Moreno owned 5.3 percent at the time but wanted to buy a majority stake and ultimately run the club. Colangelo thought Moreno’s offer was too low and fought off the possible hostile takeover by rounding up $160 million in new capital from other investors.
Fellow shareholders who were at the meeting said when Colanagelo announced he was looking for more money, Moreno pulled out his checkbook and said: “You don’t need those investors. Here’s my money.” Colangelo shot him down in what several witnesses described as an angry and embarrassing confrontation. Moreno and Colangelo have refused to talk publicly about the showdown for years.
