PrintSan Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jul 23, 2010 9:40 PM EDT
|
|
Jody Jackson tweeted, "Clubhouse prankster took Haren's name off locker n cleaned it out." I think it's safe to say that the media focus of tonight's game may not entirely be on the contest between the lines, with the rumors circulating at an ever-increasing pitch regarding Dan Haren's trade, and possible destinations. It promises to be an interesting weekend: maybe I should just prepare a "Dan Haren traded" story, and just fill in the blanks as appropriate. But there is still baseball to be played...
Seems that everyone has got distracted, and no-one has actually bothered to post a line-up at this point. There will be nine non-Harens taking the field for the Diamondbacks. That's all I got. Things don't exactly promise to get any easier for the Arizona hitters this evening, after getting shutout by the San Francisco pitchers last night. Sanchez allowed two hits in five innings last time he faced the Diamondbacks, and in his past three starts against us, is 3-0 with a 3.38 ERA in that time. However, he didn't get through six frames in any of those games, and walked seven batters in 16 innings, so that may be a chance there.
Jackson faced the Giants at the end of May, but got what we should probably call a "Lopez Loss", after last night. He allowed three runs over seven innings, but got no run support at all, with Arizona being shutout. Last night was the Diamondbacks 44th quality start of the season - the team still has a losing record in these, being 21-23 - mostly because in 18 of those games, the offense has scored two runs or less. We'll see if we can get a tally mark on the right side of the scale tonight.
Hey, I'm back on the recap... I think, if I'm reading 'charmer's Recap Flow Chart right, anyway... It's Friday, 'charmer has plans, but my ennui appears to be in check. Mrs. SnakePit is getting take out from Pei Wei, so I'll be chowing down on that, then watching the game as I write my review of Inception. Hey, maybe this 2010 season is all a dream? Now, where did I put my totem...

Hmmmm….wonder how Haren liked (or disliked) the locker room prank…

So...
The theatre’s been open for my play about 10 minutes… Nobody’s showed up yet
Today’s been awesome
Bad doormat! No stock options!
What time does it start?
Our theatre group is putting on a play next week and I’m stressing about publicity.

Starts at 10:00
There’s been lots of publicity, and it’s the start of our late night series so getting asses in seats is more at a premium than making money. We had a decent house last night for a free preview buuut…
I think it’s cause people in this town are lazy whiny f***s when it comes to driving moderate distances

It's the truth
the whiny f***s part.
Walking is even worse.

Weird how it works
We’ve had shows where we’d have bet the house savings on them packing the house, that completely tanked [and I mean, completely tanked]. And others, where we didn’t expect anyone to show up, that were great successes. If we could find out the magic formula, we’d be millionaires.

We had a play with two people the opening night.
We treated it as a dress rehearsal with visitors.

Kelly Johnson's cycle
Immediately followed by Upton hitting into a double play. Ladies and gentleman, your 2010 Diamondbacks.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
At least Upton
Extended his hitting streak earlier in the game…

This makes me sad:
However, Haren also leads the majors in hits allowed (161) and is second in the NL to teammate Rodrigo Lopez in most home runs allowed (23).
one has to wonder
How much gas is really left in Haren’s tank…

For a 29-year-old
Who is only in his eighth full season, he should have more than enough. His 3.08 FIP also suggests otherwise.

Can someone tell me
Why Edwin wasn’t pulled right after he threw that first error? It was the 7th Inning. Did Kirk Gibson (Or whoever’s in charge) really think that he was going to do any better?
AJ must have rubbed off on him..
Or maybe its Mel Jr.

joba is yesterday's news in ny
and he is injury prone. but under the correct circumstances he could succeed.

Oh, baseball
Some days, it’s hard to remember why I watch you.
"Hey, I don't mean to rush you, but you are keeping two civilizations waiting!"
How to tell you watch too much baseball
I read ‘rebel" as rhyming with ’Demel.’

Start of the month
When we beat up on the Dodgers for a game before the offense shut down for the next two.

Yeah
Straight into Jack Howell’s little toilet in the dugout!

We talked about this in the All-Star Break. Yeah, it’s surprising, but don’t write it off entirely.
