Throws Lohse off. He doesn’t look real good tonight, but I wonder if it has anything to do with Anderson.

Love the sig....
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

If Lohse is our fifth starter I ain't complaining.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
The good news is
The Diamondback’s bullpen is horrendous. Like. Amazingly bad. So the chance to increase our run total is very possible.
Fibonacci series?
I was trying to figure out if there was a Fibonacci series emerging in the run scoring pattern tonight., but I don’t think it’s there.

I start getting texts saying, got Spilborghs, then Matt daley, then I get “got #38” I say, who’s number 38? She says “Jimenez or something like that.” She got a guy who 3 days ago threw a no-no to sign her baseball and didnt even know who he was.
I called her to tell her who it was, and she’s like, “who’s number 2?” I tell her its Tulo. She yells at him, he comes over, starts signing by her. Her friend borrows her pen so he can sign the friends ball, then he skips my wife because she doesn’t have a pen. I told her to trade balls with the friend. They thought I was joking.

but since AZ has to bat last it would have to be a five run grand slam in the 20th to produce thta score. The way we are pitching tonight a 5 run GS is possible

Good God...
Despite that meatball, it’s a shame that Boggs and not Lohse would be on the hook at this point.
actually Lohse could get the loss, but not the win. Right?

Okay so I'm pretty sure that Pujols is overrated by UZR for exactly that reason
UZR doesn’t take into account putouts for first basemen, only assists, so when Pujols takes the second basemans ball like that his UZR gets an artificial bump.
+1
He’s good but he was never +20 or whatever good. Although UZR doesn’t do scooping and it seems he’s really good at that.

Haren does seem like a passable DH this game.....
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

Eels are apparently the big
no-no, over there. Even mentioning the word in your post gets it deleted. Superstition and such. Apparently someone posted an eel pic in a thread, and the game imploded. And it’s.. taboo to mention eels in any form, now.
They tried to pass the Eel on to us, and then exploded for the big inning against us. I might have posted the same pic back in their thread with a ‘Hai guys. Miss me?’ the next time Cards were up…
It was promptly deleted, and the head dude came down hard on people from there on out. I’d advise staying cordial tomorrow… it’s not like they’re being overly rude to us or anything. Just…kind of shows why it’s not generally a very popular Diamondbacks site. We jacked the post count up a ton tonight…the whole way to the 1100 range. /sarcasm.

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Much of the game thread amusement
was deleted/moderated. What’s left is pretty dull. I’ll try to somewhat recap.
They have a superstition regarding Eels, of all things. Someone posted one in a game, and the Dbacks managed to choke the game away in short order, leading to the banning of all eel pics, and even mentions of the word. (they actually banned a member for 24 hours for using ‘eel’ in puns (such as Reely/eelness/unbuleelvable,etc). Anyways, I may have mocked the eel, while we were winning, and they posted an eel pic in our own gameday thread. We promptly coughed up the lead, and never regained it, much to their delight.
I retaliated by posting an eel with ‘HAI GUISE. MISS ME?’ on it in big white letters. They weren’t amused, and it was deleted in short order. A few of us were debating various things, mocking someone for his ‘pooholes’ comments, as well as ‘hollidouche’. Turns out one of them was a Cubs fan, as Spants predicted, comically.
The thread really was stupidly over-moderated, leading to a stilted atmosphere. Just wasn’t much fun at some points, and there were definite lulls in the posting. I’d wager VEB had a solid third of the posts on their thread, and it still barely cracked 1k. Where we had a ‘slow night’ with 2k or so. Not really an active SBN, and the overmoderation mentioned likely plays a part in that.
They still seem to be decent folks, for the most part, not worth trolling or bashing, as some fanbases may be. I’ll probably hang around their game thread tomorrow, though likely not post quite as much. shrug
yeah, now that i read it
probably missed the better stuff – guess you had to be there. my impression was, other than veb, it was about ten people total over there, plus ol pete. again, i think it’s good mojo to work innocuous words such as feel, heel, keel, kneel, peel. etc. into the comments over there tomorrow – even surreal misspelled might pass muster. don’t see how they could keep up with policing that.
reading their front-page recap, i want to know who this scott schumacker fella is, and when he joined the cardinals?
