I've always sort of liked him despite the fact that he's very sloooow pitching-wise, and I certainly don't wish cancer on anyone. Get better, Doug! (But give up plenty of runs to the Rox tonight).

Gameday link?

They've finally gone to the '08 version.

Eric Byrnes took Kirk Gibson for a pedicure. Find out Monday what went down on FSN Arizona! Thank you, but I'd rather not.

Why must they change it every year? I get comfortable with the old one. When I have to watch the first month and a half of the season on it, I like to know the deal. But whatever, I'm sure I'll adjust.

I thought your first post said "I wish Doug Davis had Thyroid Cancer" then I saw the link on Gameday and was like WTF?

Hope he is well

now that we have the New!Shiny! version of Gameday, we will get updates more often than every inning (or two). That would be nice.

the MLB.TV feed.

Announcer's debating whether Todd's a Hall of Famer.

So nice! Let's see what Bowie has up his sleeve.

a close play at second, and a bit dangerous with the head-first slide.

to Davis and the D'backs community...

On a lighter note, I totally love the new Gameday. Everything just looks a lot nicer than previous years, while keeping most of the bells and whistles. I rather enjoyed watching Byrnes get K'ed swinging just now.

Plenty more of those to come against the Rockies.

homers! 1-0!

And off a lefty!

with a long, long homer.

Yorvit?!

No kidding, Silver, I have no idea. 2-0 is fine by me, though.

Back to back to back? What is going on at the bottom of our rotation?!?

Lineup. Not rotation. Lineup. I was just rather happy at the time, and words came out, and...yeah, I'll just go back to Gameday.

Ugh.

a new pitcher every inning for the Rockies.

I went to finish dinner and miss NIX jacking one out to make it three in a row? I like this lineup, I likes, I likes.

Willy T? Now, not so much.

is on a TEAR. Hopefully this carries into the regular season...!

Holliday with a shot past the outfield wall.

5-0!

I feel bad for Davis on account of the cancer, but this is undoubtedly very fun.

I think he's had a bad enough day, without getting pounded like this.

Upton would have had the assist on Atkins being out at third. Mark Reynolds was upset.

Bases loaded. There will probably be a PH for Herges here. (Gameday still thinks it's Bowie).

a huge guy.

looking again.

Come on, T3. Your turn. Need a hit.

but he has much greater things to worry about. All the best to you, Doug.

Time to feast on another pitcher (hopefully).

Now I come back and we're up 8-0! Heck of a bad streak for Davis...I think it's that soul patch he has on. Whenever I looked at his mugshot, I thought it was a bug on my screen. Regardless, more good wishes for him and his recovery.

but not good enough.

Everyone else is getting hits, but since you've had 3 ABs and it's the third, I'm sure you'll have more chances.

to put Vizcaino in, it's evidently here.

The young man has bigger fish to tackle and why disrupt his confidence by getting his head handed to him by the Rocks pounders.

I think this was a dumb move by Melvin. However, the purple are making a statement.

K to Byrnes' resume.

hit every ball at every at bat like a bullet when I was in Tucson. Even on the back fields he was mashing.

I predict .340, 100 RBI's, 44 doubles and 100 RS, 20 HRs

There's something you rarely see.

Second dinger of the game! He's ready for the season. And Dbacks Nation has to be just a little nervous about Lyon closing...

I just noticed that New Gameday tells you what kind of pitch it was!

Fuentes still as wobbly as a top. I wish I could trust him the way I once used to, but I fear those days are long gone.

Burke continues to torch it, 2-run single. 3 runs in, 9-4 lead now. Fuentes, can you please pretend that you are still good? Thankee kindly.

that's Matt Daley who comes from my neck of the woods, Queens, NY.

playing all these exhibition games at teams' home fields that don't count just before the season starts? Another Bud Selig bright idea?

And.... Daley, please try to get them out, even if only in interest of expediting the game.

how about another homer this spring?

I just randomly discovered that I have an ESPN PPV channel on my tv, and since I haven't paid for anything, it's playing ESPN Radio. Anyway, Gamenight is previewing the Rockies right now with guest Drew Goodman (that is his name, right?). Talking about the offense right now and how they're going to score a ton of runs. Goodman just called Tulo a freak.

ends the inning by popping out with a guy on third.

Aw, I wanted another K.

Gaetti sac fly scores Bernier.

Here we go. watching the 13th inning of the play-in game. Headphones in, Trevor Hoffman just entered the game, I am watching with delight, volume cranked. Chills. CHILLS.

listening to that roar when Matt hits it.

the stunned, uncomprehending looks on the Padres' faces while Coors absolutely loses it.

The exhibition is in the books. 12-4, and get ready for the PAIN, Snakeys.

But I'd rather talk about the tiebreaker anyway. I need my games to count again.
