Fantastic. Jamie Kennedy did this to "X" an audience at a college basketball game once. Proposed to a girl(who was in on it) and was turned down in humiliating fashion. Then he won some contest to shoot a free throw for a bunch of money and screwed that up too, also in humiliating fashion. If you're going to crash and burn, might as well soar up to about 40,000 feet, press your face to the glass, and come roaring down in style.

It's sad to us because it's so ridiculous how this keeps happening. You can feel free to come up with counter-examples from our own team though. :wink: Yeah, take your WS ring and leave us to wallow 8-)

Yeah, in other words, as a lawyer would say, never ask a question you don't know the answer to. Agreed. The actual proposal should be a formality (well....formality sounds cold, but you know what I mean).

Yeah, Steve Kline is this slimy thing that crawled out of a hole somewhere to pitch well only for the Cards, then slither back to whatever the hell place he came from.

Watch the language.

Yep. Get that man some pee!

Weren't the D-Backs hot before this? Wow they look horrid tonight.

I suppose his season is over at that point and he wouldn't get on the field much (presumably). 'Course with this team and this season, you never know.

Dude, he was fast. Don't muddy the waters with actual logic. The 3,023 hits probably didn't hurt.

What is this uncharacteristic pessimism coming from Derwood? I hope I'm not rubbing off on you. Brewers will get creamed, no doubt. Flip that score, then flip that frown upside down 8-)

Damn you!

Damn, was really hoping for that sweep. Go AZ.

Well I guess Wuertz found his groove just in time. One more shot at this thing.

Ankiel K's, thankfully.

The pitch DeRosa swung at should have been hit out onto the street. I can't see the game and I know Gameday is often incorrect. They showed the pitch off the inside corner.

I don't know man. That was bad. I didn't expect that from DeRo especially.

Damn, that was the best chance right there. Come on D-Backs.

what?!?! Yeah, no way. I want to squeeze every last drop of blood out of this one. It could have been called and an automatic loss basically.

Maybe I'm just giggly right now or something, but I just got a great bellylaugh over your sig. :lol:

lol....what?

that is actually hypothermia... sorry Liar!

Everything in life is relative. Rich Hill is incosistent compared to who? Speaking of HRs Lilly has been giving them up a pretty good clip. His own demonstrated capabilities? did you misunderstand the question or are you avoiding it? Every pitcher is inconsistent. A player with a 3.00 ERA doesn't give up 2 Rs over 6 innings every time out. There are gems and poundings mixed in with decent and below average outings. Demonstrate how this doesn't describe Rich Hill and most every other ML SP, please. What? He said everything was relative and then asked who Rich Hill was inconsistent compared to. My response was his own demonstrated capabilities, ie - he's been much better for periods of time than he has for stretches this season. What am I avoiding? I never said Rich was some kind of anomaly compared to other pitchers. you're right that that's the definition of inconsistency. But if he isn't any more or less consistent than the bulk of the rest of the league it doesn't mean a single thing. Taken literally, of course you're right. But I'm not sure that it matters, since no one in the Hill-is-Inconsistent camp can back up the value of their claim. The only thing I'm willing to say is that I hope Hill is consistently better in the future. I don't see a lot of arm problems for him, so I'm hoping he just tweaks his craft enough that we see more good starts and fewer blowups. I can say the same about Marshall though, the same about any of our younger pitchers where I see some upside that hasn't yet been fully explored.

I don't think anybody, he would be a call up. Sorry, I mean in terms of reps. Only so many innings that can be pitched. Who would get fewer appearances in favor of Sam...

Isn't this a little soon? Who would he be replacing anyway?

Big 2-run homer coming to tie it. I can feel these things in my bones when it rains.
