I have an irrational hate for that arm thing they do.

Yesterday Peralta was batting second ahead of Goldie. David was responsible for all three of our runs in a 3-2 victory, driving in two and scoring the other.

So what does Gibson do now? He is batting him leadoff, behind our two weakest hitters (8th and 9th) with Hill hitting behind him.

Why must Gibson abandon the few things that work for him? Micro-managing at its worst. No self-confidence in his ability to set a batting order.

Kirk Gibson, the man who knows how to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.

What a butt-hole! :bang:

We need to do better!

Big Monday night crowd here at the ballpark. Unfortunately, it is because there are so many Detroit fans in our house. Go D-Backs !!!

And sure enough

Gibson moves Peralta from batting in front of Goldy and driving in runs to leadoff. Leadoff, behind our two weakest hitters and in front of Hill.

Peralta goes 0-4 and the D'backs end a winning streak. By one run.

Why can't Gibson leave well enough alone? If I could predict before the game that it would fail, why can't he? It is a sad state of events when a manager knows less about his team than a fan.

Kirk Gibson is dysfunctional!

Ross to the Disabled List

Sore calf my ass, they are just trying to hide his embarrassment of a season on the bench. My question is why not designated for assignment? They should be illustrating these bad contracts that Towers signed McCarthy, Ross, Prado, Cahill to as an example of what not to do as a General Manager.

Ross hurt himself running the bases a couple nights ago.

DBacks down by 1 in the 8th. Goldy walks to load the bases with 2 outs. Miggy to the rescue.

MM comes through with a 2 run single. 5-4 DBacks. One more and it is taco time.

Yeah, he was horrid last year. Got him cheap in my fantasy league but more importantly I like what he is doing for us.

Walked him. Should be interesting. It was, Hill with an outstanding play to end it.
