The Slightly More Than a Week in Diamondbacks Tweets

I'm back. The D-backs actually didn't lose while I'm away. I endorse this. And nor did Twitter stop functioning. I'm not sure which surprises me more! Anyway... Here's eight days worth of Tweets, with some help in my absence from Clefo.

The Games in Diamondbacks Tweets

Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 2

The Dodgers have bobble heads on their video board that carry a picture of Adrian Gonzalez's head on a stick. Do with that what you will.

That was the first home run of Paul Goldschmidt's career when swinging 3-0. He'd only put 11 balls in play on 3-0 prior to that.

Diamondbacks 1, Dodgers 3

@Dbacks @AZSnakepit Nick Ahmed is made entirely out of cats. #ElGato

Chase Utley tried to slide into my DM's and now I'm on the DL for 6 to 8 weeks.

Diamondbacks 2, Dodgers 5

DBacks unis don't bother me as much tonight. Must be wearing me down

Yes, but how does Rob Lowe feel about then?

Diamondbacks 3, Padres 2

Folks in SD doing the wave in the 4th inning of the 1st Dbacks/Padres game of the year. Gotta pace yourself with that kind of ennui, Petco.

Diamondbacks 3, Padres 5

Dbacks gave up Swanson, Blair, and Inciarte for a guy that drags his knuckles on the ground when he throws. Awesome.

#F U Dbacks Wife just kicked me off the patio for being bitchy. You have turned me into a grumpy old man in under 10 days of baseball! Uhg
— Chris Smith (@cbspga) April 17, 2016

Hopefully, we will look back on the above game as the low point of the 2016 season...

Diamondbacks 7, Padres 3

A bunch of guys who I said should play less have been great today, which is your daily reminder that baseball and I are both dumb.
— ZM (@ZM_sportsball) April 17, 2016

He may have been down, but he still wasn't out...

@DbacksRadio I have a question for the booth guys: do you believe hat size indicates IQ?
— Steve Berthiaume (@BertDbacks) April 17, 2016

Nice to see it's not just Clefo that has to handle people abusing the opportunity yo ask questions. :)

Diamondbacks 9, Giants 7

So it seems like the main criteria of the 2011 draft for Jerry DiPoto was "Dudes who throw more pitches than they probably should"

People in the stands at AT&T are now fashioning weapons out of nacho helmets and hot dogs. They will not submit to their gull overlords.

Diamondbacks 3, Giants 0

The Week in McCarthy Tweets

A very poor week for McCarthy, whose sole non-reply/reTweet was:

holy hell
— Brandon McCarthy (@BMcCarthy32) April 14, 2016

If you follow McCarthy, you'll know he's a big Liverpool FC fan, and will be aware of exactly what that was about. Though it's safe to say that he - like me - is not a fan of the MLB Fourth of July hats announced recently:

@MLB @UniWatch odds that these make a 'worst of a generation' list from you in the next twenty years?
