The Last EVAR Spring Training Game in Tucson!!
So this coming Wednesday, the 31st of March, is the last EVAR ST game (probably) to be played in Tucson, and features YOUR ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS facing off against the Colorado Rockies at 1:10PM at Hi Corbett Field. That's right, folks -- it's the last time to see major league teams play at the little baseball gem known as Hi Corbett, too.
It sounds like Bcawz and I are gonna be there. Who else is interested?
Edit: Aaaaand..... here's the link to the thread on DBBP.

Interested
but can’t commit until I know my schedule…probably tomorrow, today if I’m lucky.
I think I’d skip class for this.

Hellz yeah.
Wondered if anyone would notice.
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
I want to make a Willie Mays Hayes reference but I got nothing.
Randomly saying “dont steal home without it” doesnt make sense. lol
Nice strikeout!
Maybe.
I think I can leave early from work.
we're like a borg ship; resistance is futile-- soco via twitter.
I should be off at 2… If I drive like Phil I should be there at about the 5th or 6th inning, right?
Nice strikeout!
The socos and kishis
are cool kids. Also, the McLennans? You’re excluding a loooot of people.

NO YOU ASSHOLE YOU WERE BEING SERIOUS
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
You should post this thread on dbbp.
or do you want me to? A combined thing would be fun. I know driaz might want to go, maybe prosopis or molly.
Nice strikeout!
I was
planning on it. I’ll go do it.

Maybe
I’ll go to that one, too…

That means
we’ll have room for a few non-cool kids too

Maybe
Tucson should stop feeling so bad for itself and do something about it. Something something bootstraps

Who
said Tucson is feeling bad for itself? I just said Tucson feels the same way, as in ‘ick’.
(I cant tell who you were replying too though.)
I'm
saying Tucson should stop feeling bad for itself. It’s tote obvious the way it dresses and acts.

Maybe because
Tucson is older than Phoenix. Feels like an old maid, compared to her younger, more popular sister

Tucson
is funny man. Tons of people love the ‘small town’ feel, but then complain when stuff sucks (cause politicians suck down here) and yet also complain when we dont have everything Phx has.
True.
The old people never wanna pay for transportation improvements because they think it’ll keep the growth down.
Altho we ARE getting a light rail now.
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
I like that.
Maybe we could name one of them “Desire”.

We are?

Yeah.
Part of the stimulus package, apparently.

::sigh::
If it has to go to transportation, why can’t they fix the roads? Or expand SunTran service? No one uses the damn “streetcar” anyway.

They're fixing the roads.
They’ll be doing all the potholes over the next 2 months, starting this week.

This is true
They were out by our place this morning…maybe we’ll have a smoother drive to the new place. :D

They're
starting out with the main E-W thoroughfares and then doing the N-S routes next.

Wow, I hadn’t heard that…when will this be happening?

So go buy that Focus this weekend!
Duh!
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
I have to wait for my car to sell and get insured and all that BS.
I have it narrowed down between a focus or a corolla. I’m leaning towards a focus.
Hmmmm
who insures you now? Also why are you selling your current ride?
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
And if it's broken,
how do you plan on selling it?
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
Im not confident in driving it almost over 400 miles.
If i breakdown im Screwed. My current ride is 25 years old that and i hate driving it.
Ive driven smaller boats.
I had
my windshield replaced for $160 in Jan.
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
Which pulley?
And what’s wrong with the car that you’re afraid to drive it?
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
For in-town driving, it might last just fine. Long trips on something like that would make me paranoid also.
Phoenix to Tucson is only 90 minutes, though.
Well, in terms of wear and tear, highway driving is better for a car, generally speaking. However, I can see your fear as well.
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
You carry
a spare idler with you??
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
No - LOL
Luckily my brother was not too far away (lives in Laveen of all places) and we hit up Autozone for a new idler pulley and belt.
Ahh.
Well done.
I’ll replace my idler and waterpump, along with my timing belt and timing belt idler, around 100k miles. Just prophylactically.

And for Skins
It’s 188.8 miles and ninety minutes…

Factor in ever-present construction and some traffic.
Make it ninety-two.
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
my car is currently in the shop
integrity automotive. I know a couple ppl in there. Yesterday my steering wheel got really stiff and I had to force it to turn. Today it was still stiff, but not as bad as yesterday. I have had issues with belts in the past (my stepdad tightened it for me a few weeks ago… he works at dearing). The steering fluid is fine. Any idea Phil? He said it might be a belt issue, after listening to me describe the problem. No call from Integrity yet.
Nice strikeout!
Could also
be an issue with the rack. Was it making any sorta rattling noise with the engine on? PS pump could be going out.
I think if it were a belt you’d notice a few other accessories going bad. Why’d he “tighten” it for you? Do you have a bad tensioner?
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
No rattling noises. I thought I heard a scraping sound, but it was really faint on only for 2 seconds, so it could have been anything.
He tightened it because in the last year every so often I hear get really loud scraping noises when I make a turn. Usually for left turns. I could be just confusing something he said. Summer 09, it would randomly lurch and rpms would skyrocket and then I couldnt go past 40mph. I once was driving DOWNhill and it did that.
Nice strikeout!
That sounds
like a TPS sensor to me….
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
Well,
I haven’t looked under YOUR hood, but on my car, that’d be about $40 and 5 minutes to do it myself.
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
Yeah, Im pretty much asking them for an estimate. Im sure if its a quick fix my step dad could do it. Its funny before my mom met him I was clueless about cars and now I have much more basic knowledge. I can even do an oil change now and jump my car….lol…..
Nice strikeout!
Do you
know yet whether your car is an automatic or manual?
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
Ahhh. As I thought.
Last time I asked, you didn’t know.
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
Its a power steering leak. the total will be 385$ (I also am having them do the 3000 mile thing) I need knew cv boots, but ive known that for a while its to expensive. There are also a couple of other things that my stepdad can do real quick (like the radiator).
Now that I think of it the tps sensor may have been fixed the last time we brought it in.
Nice strikeout!
I figured
it was probably a leak somewhere, but you said the fluid was fine. $385 isn’t bad.
CV boots or CV joints? CV boots aren’t hard to replace, or expensive. It’s only pricey if you need to replace the inside and outside joint as well. In fact, it may be cheaper and easier to just replace the whole axle.
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".
joints.
when i looked at the steering fluid thing yesterday the level was right in between min and max. maybe it was something else i was looking at. The object was white and had brown/black fluid in it and was in the posterior portion near the drivers side.
Nice strikeout!
Probably brake fluid
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".

Viagra in the hydraulics again… those meddling kids and their pranks….

Geez
I go back to studying for 15 minutes and you guys add 20 comments.

Woah woah woah
getting a pony for studying would be awesome.

Just found his schedule for next week. Doesn’t work Wednesday, so yeah, he’d probably be down. He gets off at 2 today if you want to ask him yourself. :-)

I'm usually off on Weds
I’ll go.
In the seventh inning, fans get up and sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Most of them don't seem to realize they're already there.
I'll be there
But only in spirit since I don’t have the money to go and not to mention I get out of class at 10:45 and it’s the last week of this class. After next week, it’s onto my third month of college and a new course for a month.
I hope someone will take pix for me

It probably doesn't make too much of a difference
But your link doesn’t work.

If you haven’t bought tix yet, would you get ours and I can pay you back on Wednesday? (Ask Jim, I’m pretty good about that :) )

So Emily assured me, anyway… :-)

Hey Phil
They are bitching about the thread having the word “evar” in it. Warhorse has even said we are having a tucson pity party. I guess thats what we get for posting that over there, sheesh. Apparently, if any of us go to a st game together we are automatically having a pity party. So thats what phx thinks?
/rant
Nice strikeout!
Ive said it on dbbp, but I dont really care ST is leaving.
I cared that the SIdewinders left. I would rather save my money and go to Chase Field for a real game in another month. I dont even think I went to more than one ST game last year.
Nice strikeout!
Yeah, I just responded to Warhorse.
This must be why I don’t go to DBBP often.

I tried a long time ago to become a member of their board and they flat out rejected me…so I have no remorse whatsoever for them and their rude behavior. This place is great and I think everyone on here is pretty cool :) I even have a few members (you, Phil, Katers, Howclaws, MrsSoco) all on my Facebook and have Katers, Hotclaws, and MrsSoco all on my LiveJournal :) At one time I did have Snakecharmer on my LiveJournal too but I think she has since dropped me…why? I have no idea…I haven’t done anything wrong i can think of but whatever. This site is better than DBBP by far!

Rock, when were you flat out rejected? All new members at DBBP are manually entered by either Jim or me since we were hit with automated spamsters a few years back, and I haven’t rejected a Rockkstarr. Maybe Jim caught you siphoning gas from his car at the last gathering and is holding a grudge?
Hi TAP
This was a few years ago but I went under a different alias then. All I ever got back was an email that said I was rejected and it didn’t give any reason why, so I never went back. I came to this board instead under the recommendation of Justin when he mentioned it on the DBacks’ MLB board (which I also was a member of for many years. I began having problems with a poster from that board No1BaxFan…the nemesis of many on that board may I add…I’m sure Justin can attest to that
As for gas siphoning, that wouldn’t be me LOL
Maybe I will try again sometime to become a member there. I have forgotten the link to that board though…

Sorry to hear about the rejection. You may have gotten caught up in that about the same time as the spam flood.
As far as links, we believe in choices. You can use DiamondbacksBullpen.com or you can use DiamondbacksBullpen.org or to get directly to the forum you can use dbbp.org
Thank you
TAP, you are awesome :) Thank you!
I am betting that is what happened. I know people from the MLB board talked highly of the DDBP forum and someone back then had told me I should check it out and join.
