Gameday Thread, #91: 7/17 vs. Padres

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres, Jul 17, 2010 8:35 PM EDT


Ari_medium


Rodrigo Lopez
RHP, 5-7, 4.40

sdg_medium


Clayton Richard
LHP, 6-4, 3.33

Do we think the Diamondbacks will finally show up after the All-Star break today? Because they sure as hell didn't make an appearance yesterday, in the abomination which was the 12-1 loss. With that, we'll move rapidly on - at least tonight's game has a semi-civilized starting hour, so even if the agony is as prolonged as it was last night, I should still have some time to enjoy the evening.

Line-up and stuff after the jump.

Star-divide

  1. Chris Young CF
  2. Kelly Johnson 2B
  3. Justin Upton RF
  4. Mark Reynolds 3B
  5. Adam LaRoche !B
  6. Rusty Ryal LF
  7. Stephen Drew SS
  8. Chris Snyder C
  9. Rodrigo Lopez P

We've never actually faced Richard before, but he is a left-hander, so Gerardo Parra gets to sit on the bench, with Ryal an interesting choice to replace him in left-field. Montero similarly sits this one out, which makes sense given his .222/.273/.333 line against lefties this year. Mrs. SnakePit is going to be late picking me up from work, so I'll be there for the first couple of innings, before we head off, perhaps to forage for dinner. Hopefully, it'll be a game worthy of less gloomy comments than last night.

I try to explain to everyone over here that in America it isn’t just white people eating what white people eat. There are a bajillion ethnic groups doing their own foods and doing them very well. So when I say I miss American food, I miss what represents America, diversity. I miss Mexican, Italian, German, Spanish, Polish so on and so forth.

The Chinese people I talk to don’t really seem to grasp that concept. They just laugh at me and tell me how much better Chinese food is better than McDonald’s. I just shake my head and continue weeping silently to myself.

Probably

it would have been less traumatic.

well after watching our team play

a baseball fan likes to see the game played right, our team hasn’t shown itself capable of doing that wuth any regularity

I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....

Played right is one thing

But his obsession with size was frankly a little creepy…

I need to cancel my subscription. It never works for games I want to see.

And the ONE time it worked, was the game the other day that the Rangers scored 6 runs off Wakefield in the first.

Nice strikeout!

The movie

Inception, LOVED IT! I would recommend it highly.

I won't give anything away then but

will be curious to hear your opinion on the movie in general. I’ll get more specific once you see it..

Oh, it's minor league baseball

When it comes to the minors or spring training, I just like to follow the game.

Unless it’s the Dodgers, then I want them to lose badly.

i kinda like the bears

but don’t tell anyone because i would get yelled at. especially because i kept yelling at ella for cheering for them, lol. i went to school with their catcher … how sad.

by jinnah on Jul 17, 2010 11:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

I went to school with Ryan Perry of the Tigers.

If you had told me he would pitch in the Majors, I would have laughed and asked if you were tripping on acid.

Nice strikeout!
