Gameday Thread, #24: 5/1 vs. Cubs
Arizona Diamondbacks at Chicago Cubs, May 1, 2010 1:05 PM EDT
|

An even earlier start today I'm getting fed up of day games. Line-up after the jump, and that'll be about it.
- Kelly Johnson 2B
- Justin Upton RF
- Stephen Drew SS
- Mark Reynolds 3B
- Adam LaRoche 1B
- Chris Young CF
- Gerardo Parra LF
- Chris Snyder C
- Dan Haren RHP
Couple of amusing factoids. Seven of our nine starters today have an OPS+ greater than 100. And guess which one is second-best, after Kelly Johnson?
Dan Haren, OPS+ of 155.
Carlos Silva sucks. Let's kick his ass!

You'd think I'd like day games
but I wake up at 3.00am anyway
Hey, Vasquez,have you ever been mistaken for a man ?
No, have you?
Day gamz
I don’t mind it on a Saturday so much, but during the week, they’re really rather irritating. I understand that Wrigley has all sorts of tradition, et cetera, but I’d rather see those homeless people in the outfield bleachers out looking for gainful employment instead of drinking themselves silly.

how many are siphoning off employer resources to attend the games and drink themselves silly?

Ouch, sorry, didn't mean to touch that sore nerve there.

I'm just
saying that your characterization is a little off base. The people in the bleachers are probably all annoying yuppies that are either on vacation or take off a day from work.

See my note below
I relish the opportunity to smack Chicagoans around a bit, metaphorically speaking. Its fun! You should try it.

Prove him Wrong Danny!
Hey, Vasquez,have you ever been mistaken for a man ?
No, have you?
Oh please they can hardly handle our bullpen.
I hear voices in my head They council me They understand They talk to me.
But the most pressing question
is “will Dan homer during today’s game at Wrigley?”
Its what inquiring minds want to know.
Eels are the carry-on luggage of the SnakePit. . .
Probably not because Carlos Silva is the best pitcher EVAR!!!!!!

doesn’t throw out runners, which is a major deficiency.
Eels are the carry-on luggage of the SnakePit. . .
Some points....
1. Neither does Snyder right now
2. He gets rid of payroll that can help get another arm
3. Is throwing out baserunners more important all the runs we give up the second our starter leaves the game?

by Dallas D'Back Fan on May 1, 2010 4:02 PM EDT up reply actions

2. payroll dumping is someone’s else’s financial problem, and
3. it is when every runner that reaches first can readily advance to second.
Eels are the carry-on luggage of the SnakePit. . .
counter points
1. Snyder is worth much more than one relief pitcher.
2. We need more than one decent catcher.
3. There are a few potential relief arms down on the farm who should be given a shot first.
Key to the game: Score More

DFA Howry and purchase the contract of Jason Urquidez from Reno.

But I guarantee that Urquidez would be better than Howry. Also, remove Kroenke from the 40-man roster (even if you straight-up get rid of him), demote Parra to Reno so he can learn to hit lefties so we can actually keep him in games like these, and sign Juan Cruz.

Anyone wanna explain
why Droo would swing at a pitch in the dirt on a 2-1 count?
Dude, we went fishing in Cabo.
Because it looked like
It was at his knees on the inside part of the plate until it dove. And that’s where Droo likes them.

Spilly needs to sit Tulo down and teach him about how to pick a walkup song.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Soft Cell.
Ehh, it’s okay. I mean, it’s certainly better than Milowitzki.
Mark had Ironman last year, which was badass.
Of course, you can only use a song like Ironman if you can back it up. Fortunately, that’s back when he was hitting everything in sight.
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO KELLY JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice.
Spilly’s songs aren’t the best songs out there, but for some reason they’ve worked really well as walkup tunes.

I love Spilly's tunes :)
Along with his best buddy Jeff Salazar’s tunes :) I miss hearing “Billie Jean” cranked at Chase
"AUGIE AUGIE AUGIE...OY OY OY!"
I don't.
Not because I don’t like Sally, but because I don’t like Billie Jean.

Yes.
I kinda gotta sit there and act happy and not crushed. Not often I get to watch a Dbacks game, and when he’s all like woowoo when a Dback K’s or something it doesn’t make it too fun.
Dude, we went fishing in Cabo.
I agree
doesn’t this amount to some form of abuse? Maybe CPS should be called in?

Tough loss, Dbacks fans.
Almost as tough as overcoming a 6 run deficit just to blow a 5 run lead and eventually lose in 10 innings. Not that I’m bitter or anything. Anyway, thanks for the fun but glitchy GDT. It was a good distraction from the work I was supposed to be doing.

how about some insightful input

I'd like to see Mark McClune start to ask Danny a question

so only including leads lost
not including tied games, 7 BS in 24 games played…. that is pretty bleeping epic right there.

they’d be over .500.

this and it’ll happen real fast.
I’m committed though to weekend games the rest of the season

Just so I am clear on this subject:
I absolutely, positively, stone-cold f****ng HATE OUR BULLPEN!! If Howry isn’t DFA’d by Monday, then JB needs 40 lashes in front of Chase Field!
Vote Quimby!
While it's not exactly our only problem
we need to just get rid of him. It’s not even a rash decision at this point… there’s a lot more that needs fixing in our bullpen, unfortunately. =\
Dude, we went fishing in Cabo.
When you say 'our'
you mean your beloved Cubs, right?

I have no doubt that Jennie Finch could outpitch our entire bullpen.

Well
it’s been fun, guys. I’ll see you all tomorrow, though I’ve got a fairly large project due Monday so I dunno how closely I can watch the game.
(tl;dr: I’m starting my project tomorrow night, after the game)
Dude, we went fishing in Cabo.
Got a tweet earlier from The MarinerHousewife.
She is at the Mariners game with Mr. MHW, Brendan Ichiro, and The Baby. David Aardsma tossed balls to both of the boys. Too cool.
