Not going to be around much for the next couple of days. As it's Mrs. SnakePit's birthday, we're off to Las Vegas for a couple of days: though I'm taking the laptop, opportunities to blog may be somewhat limited, shall we say! There's no game tomorrow, so that won't be an issue, and I should be back in time to post Tuesday night's Gameday Thread. Not sure if I'll have the chance to post a Fantasy Baseball report this week, but I'm sure you will cope, somehow...
We'll try to run our winning streak to nine today, though Hudson is a tough pitcher to face. He's only allowed four earned runs over his past three starts, covering 22.2 innings. But I can't say more, as Mrs. SnakePit is making tremulous, "we're gonna be late", airport-related sounds in the background, so I guess I'd better go and pack my suitcase. I leave the winning streak in your capable hands, and look forward to seeing it intact when I arrive in Vegas!

Greetings from the airport
Bit of a slug-fest in Houston. The Padres scored <u>eleven</u> in the first...but the Astros having the tying run at the plate in the bottom of the seventh, trailing 15-11...
Mrs. SnakePit
Byrnes
And now the frickin' PITCHER
Thank you for coming
Braves down 7-0 yesterday: came back.
I'm quite grateful I can barely follow this.
Livo!/The streak is over :- (
I was watching horror films..
Okay
I'm trying to see...
Apparently the crowd are very quiet
At least
Slept through this
What IS this???
In the tradition of baseball superstitions, let's just say that I should stay in the state from now on.
Still, mad props to the Snakes for winning 8 in a row before that. This doesn't tarnish that at all. Not to mention a 6-1 homestand. We're almost as invincible at home as the Brewers, empty seats be damned.
And, since the Dodgers lost, we're STILL tied for first in the division again. What is this, 2002?? :-P
Hope you had a good time
It does look like we need some anti apoc. names for todays bullpen though...

Conversely
Streak comes to a screeching halt!
Best thing about yesterday's game
The crew also came up with clips of when Gracie pitched in a Dback blow out game in 2002. His pitching stance and cadence reflected the well loved relief pitcher Mike Fetters. Then Gracie served up a long ball to the hitter and as the hitter was rounding the bases between 1 and 2, Gracie was yelling at the batter for taking Gracie yard. I recall this event happening and remembered how we all as fans laughed because there was nothing else to root for during that game.
Those 2 items were the only bit of entertainment for Dback fans, since Livan 2.0 SUCKS!
Maybe we can package both DFAvanon and Livan 2.0 for Assignment!
