Gameday Thread, #96: 7/22 vs. Giants

San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jul 22, 2010 9:40 PM EDT


sfg_medium


Matt Cain
RHP, 7-8, 3.30

Ari_medium


Rodrigo Lopez
RHP, 5-8, 4.62

A man of my word, the Tankapalooza standings have been duly retired for the moment. Gibson probably has his bullpen to thank for that, thanks to what was probably their most impressive performance of the year. The good news: last night's eight innings of one-hit, shutout ball dropped our bullpen's ERA for the season by 0.2 runs. The bad news: at 6.51, it's still almost a run and a half higher than the 29th-worst team in the majors (the Brewers, at 5.07).

Line-up and stuff after the jump.

Star-divide

  1. Chris Young, CF
  2. Kelly Johnson, 2B
  3. Justin Upton, RF
  4. Miguel Montero, C
  5. Mark Reynolds, 3B
  6. Adam LaRoche, 1B
  7. Stephen Drew, SS
  8. Gerardo Parra, LF
  9. Rodrigo Lopez, P

Ok, so I lied about the line-up. I'm writing this on my lunch-break, and there's no line-up available at this point. I'm sure someone will fill in the gaps. Dunno who's actually going to be doing the recap: it was originally scheduled to be 'charmer, but I don't know if she ended up trading that off with 'Skins, after she subbed for him on Tuesday. I trust the two of them to work it out somehow, because Mrs. SnakePit and I are off to see Inception tonight. It'll be the first trip to the cinema in quite some time - I think the last one might have been Star Trek?

Anyway, the Giants come to town, and they were a blown umpiring call away from a sweep of the Mets too - they faced them this time last week, taking three of four and dropping the finale in extra innings. They also took two of three in Los Angeles, and are 12-4 over their last sixteen - so seem likely to present a bit of a tougher test than the rapidly fading Mets. Not least because we start off facing Cain, who was one Mark Reynolds double from no-hitting the Diamondbacks, last time we saw him on May 28th. In contrast, Lopez allowed ten hits and six runs in five when he faced San Francisco in May, though we won that game 8-7.

We'll see what happens. Beating the Mets was a light thrill - if we can do the same to the Giants between now and Sunday, it'll be a sign this team might have turned the corner.

I need some cheering up after just finding out that a friend of mine I’ve known all my life (my dad’s best friend’s daughter…we grew up together) passed away and I am a bit out of sorts, so bear with me.

He went to the mound (Torre had been ousted)

then stepped on the grass and went BACK to the mound. That was visit #2, Broxton had to be pulled, next guy gave up a double. Then the Giants took the lead.

He went out to talk to Broxton after calling the iNF to the mound. He started back to the dugout, but Loney asked him a question so he walked towards and onto the mound again. He was charged with two visiits. Brochy immediately came out and told the umps he can’t do that. It seems, from what Grace and Sutton are saying, that in this instance it should have not have had to take broxton out. Upon being removed, Sherill and another Dodger pitcher gave up 3 runs to lose the game.

No, they just remind me of a drunk little league team.

If you really want, change it to "Rec this if the Dbacks are playing like they’re recovering from a hangover.

Speaking of hangovers, did Pau Gasol look like he was a little bit drunk during the NBA Finals. No disrespect to him, but even the announcer said it. He was sort of dope eyed and all.

It has nothing to do with baseball, but it’s claiming that the AFC East is the best division in football.

I’ve never heard of division-pride. People actually brag about their Divisions?

by Skii on Jul 22, 2010 11:44 PM EDT reply actions  

A fair amount

It frequently seems to be eastern divisions, in my experience. We heard a lot of “NL Worst” jokes a couple years back from NL East and Central fans.

And pro sports are one thing, but start talking to college football fans about conferences, and the real trash talking begins.
