SnakeSounds: 9/25 vs. Giants

PHOENIX, AZ - SEPTEMBER 25: Justin Upton #10 of the Arizona Diamondbacks is hit in the head by a pitch during the first inning of the Major League Baseball game against the San Francisco Giants at Chase Field on September 25, 2011 in Phoenix, Arizona. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

That was a lot of fun. Sweeping the Giants in front of a packed house made for an excellent final SnakePitFest, despite a certain "ace's" decision to fire a fastball at the skull of our best hitter. Yeah...purely accidental... Given Lincecum had, over his career, hit one batter every 176, pardon me if I don't believe a sudden loss of control against the MVP on the team who dethroned his team as World Series champions, in the last game they face us. And judging by the 42,000 boos when Timmeh came to bat, neither did anyone else. We were very surprised there was no action in return, but making Lincecum a 2011 loser is certainly pleasant. Here are Kirk Gibson, Josh Collmenter, J.J. Putz and team physician Dr. Michael Lee.

The DBacks absolutely have to do a better job protecting hitters, or else this stuff will continue to go on.

They've got to be careful...

… if this was the middle of the regular season I would probably agree, but we don’t want to have anyone suspended for the playoffs. Let a scrub like Duke carry out the dirty work.

It's getting ridiculous

If this continues next season, the Pitching staff needs to start pegging people. It needs to stop

i think Timmeh probably meant to hit him

i don’t think Timmeh meant to hit him in the head

last i checked baseball players don’t try to commit premeditated murder

Just because

it hasn’t happened yet, doesn’t mean it couldn’t or wouldn’t sometime in the future.

Tomorrow is another day.

Right below this post

there is an article/ad for Bacardi Oakheart rum. Comments are closed on that, but I have a question about it. Does it make as good a weapon as 1800 tequila?
