Gameday Thread, #131: 8/26 vs. Cubs

Mrsnakepit_tiny by Jim McLennan on in Gameday Threads

Jason Marquis (28, RHP, 10-7, 4.12)
Yusmeiro Petit (22, RHP, 2-4, 5.14)

BaseballReference.com preview [opens in new window]

Just time to get this up before we scurry off to try and find somewhere to park. :-) However, I want to go on record as being responsible for the D-backs win today, as I've added Jason Marquis to my fantasy team. That should guarantee he sucks. :-) Padres are almost dead in the water as I write (down 14-1 to the Phillies!), so a win here would almost certainly put us back to three games ahead, which is how we entered the series. I'd settle for that, certainly. Let's just hope Petit, and more importantly, our offense, is up to the task.

Salazar gets the start, I see
And Jupton gets the day off.
Come on, Sandy Baby, loosen up. You're too tight.

Go Petit, go!
Stay grindy, my friends.

D'ya think
if Petit has a below-average start, someone else will start next time around the rotation?

by LucaMaz3 on Aug 26, 2007 4:42 PM EDT   0 recs

yep
I think EdGon would get the start.

Brilliant.
A game at a sensible UK time when I'm not working late.

Nope.
Can't work out if that's Birmingham or Beckham. But yes, whichever.

by britdback on Aug 26, 2007 4:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

A fair trade
for the small subset of Diamondbacks/Villa fans... but I dunno how the rest of them would feel about it.

by peachy rex on Aug 26, 2007 5:02 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Therefore
we'll get stuffed. Sorry about that, I'm a bit of a bad omen for all of my teams.

Splendid start!
just what we needed,NOT!:-/

On a side note...
Whenever they show face shots of Chris Snyder, doesn't he look like the quintessential "mean fat kid" that was in everybody's class in elementary school?

Ick
Error by CoJack on throw to first advances Theriot to 2nd.  Without the error, possible double play with Jones batting next followed by Lee's popup out would have gotten Petit out of trouble.  Instead 2 errors for AZ and 3 runs for Chicago.  

When oh when will CY be moved down in the order.  Some of those solo HRs could be 2 and 3-run homers.

Looks like I'm behind.
Way to get... what, your 3rd or 4th hit as a Dback Cirillo?? Clutch.

As long as Petit doesn't GIDP, we'll have runners on base w/ CY coming up.

Of a very young Bonds playing with the Bucs.

Of course, he not an asshole, so the comparison stops there.

throw cruz for 2, ed. gon for 2 pena for 1, lyon for 1 and valverde to close it out.

I would recommend some of you go check out
BCB's gameday thread. Jim went over there, under the Sedona Red banner of the 'Pit, and defended and clarified his comments from the other night about Cubs fans. Reactions range from gracious to unapologetic:
