Arizona Diamondbacks @ Colorado Rockies
Nothing like getting a fluffball pitcher like Brandon Webb to break us out of our slump. Please, oh please, hit against him like you did most of last season, guys.

This sure is up early
I thought it was a night game.

Night game
It is.
Made me do a double take as well.
Peavy vs Penny on Fox right now though.

It was up early because I was having issues
trying to figure out how I messed up setting it for automatic posting, and I just wanted to make absolutely certain it would be up before game time. Luckily, it was, but as you point out, quite a bit earlier than normal.

Anyone know what the weather is going to be like tonight?

It should be really nice...
It's been sunny up in the mountains, at least (Thank god).

Until the game
I'm watching the Final Four game between Memphis and UCLA.
by Tom (RFTN) on Apr 5, 2008 4:02 PM MDT 0 recs
Peavy
with a CG two-hitter.
Meanwhile, it's horrible but watching the Detroit game is oddly comforting. Incredible line-up, but nothing but fail so far for the team as a whole.

Ugh
I'm always glad to see the Dodgers lose, but I think I'd rather see Peavy get knocked around.

Now we just need Helton and Holliday back to their original places.

Holliday
Hit 6 balls into the upper deck in BP. He's a righty. Think about that.
If Webb's dumb enough to hit him with a pitch, he might hit a ball to Kansas.
Every day is a Holliday!

Oh Webb
The first time Holliday is up there, please bean him. Make it sting.
(I think this is the first time I have ever rooted for one of my guys to be hit before).

I've never been involved with Little League
but yes. Actually... that's not quite true. If Holliday is less than his usual manbeastly self, I kind of root for some unsuspecting yahoo to bounce one off his treetrunk upper arm and see what happens next.

Also, props to Riordan
who was nothing short of brilliant in his seven inning, three hit, shutout.
So while our big leaguers and high minor pitchers took their lumps in opening week, it's nice to see a young talent step up and impress in his debut.

Lately, that would have been
a point of concern. However, he's flat crushing the ball out of the gate, and hopefully this power is sustainable. A small bright spot to opening week has been Helton playing like Helton of four-five years ago.
