Dbacks vs. Mets series thread

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Well, that Phillies series sure was a downer. Hopefully the Dbacks can rebound tonight, Vargas vs. Hernandez.

Cool, now we get to HIT off of El Duque.

He'll be pretty fired up, I'm sure.

 

[Billexium]

Wow Pedro vs Ortiz... can the D'Backs just forfeit that game in advance to save three hours out of my life?

 

[Billexium]

Holy cow the Snakes are #2 this week! Even after a three game sweep. Too bad for the whole steriods thing... they had everything going the right way.

The pitching lately has not been good and its only more aplified by the complete lack of offense. This looks like the annual lull for the Dbacks

 

[Lefty]

Counsell is showing his age. Is it too early to talk about Stephen Drew?

 

[Stallion]

Headline of the day: "D'backs again fail to win with Hernandez on the mound"

We gotta shake the Grim(sley) Reaper and get things moving north again.

Beat the Mets!

I went to last nights game which proved to be one of the worst I've been to. Vargas looked like crap and he's extremely slow which made it tough to have a good time. Then El Duque throws a complete game gem and made us look lkie idiots. Plus, there was no one at the game and the few who were there were Mets fans. We gotta stop this losing strak tonight...

 

[Lefty]

Three batters for the Mets, three runs. Looks like it could be a long night if the bats don't come alive.

That doesn't look like its going to happen. 3 batters faced for batista and the Mets are up 3-0

 

[Evil Ash]

Well the losing streak will continue. 5 batters faced and they've hit 2 HRs and have only one out (and that was hard hit)

Don't count this team out, they deserve that respect. Goin to the 7th down 7-5. Win this game guys

And I have tickets to this game.

 

[Diamondback Jay]

I'll gladly take them off your hands

 

[Skkorpion]

Let's see if Webb can finally win his ninth tonight. It's in times like these that your ace must pick up the team.

Congrats to Melvin for getting Gonzalez out of the 4th spot in the order. Frankly, he should be batting 7th.

 

[BC867]

He said it's just temporary, to shake things up a little bit.

 

[Evil Ash]

Yet again the pitching (and the "defense") puts the team in a hole. Already down 2-0 in the 1st inning.

 

[Evil Ash]

Make that 3-0. Webb is leaving the ball up which isn't a good sign

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

This is getting ridiculous. Where'd our team go?

 

[Ryanwb]

WTF is going on with this team? It's like watching a train wreck

 

[Ryanwb]

The success of this team thus far has been that nobody has been cold at the same time. Somebody is always picking up the slack..... they just seem dead out there. Don't tell me that the Grimsley thing is such a distraction, he's only been with the team for a few months

 

[Lefty]

Before tonight's game, the Diamondbacks are 0-3 when they do Grace's Place.

Theories:

• Grimsley was supplying players with HGH and they're all waiting for the hammer to fall.
• The Curse of Ortiz
• The lack of real piching talent finally caught up with them.
• The lack of any real power in the lineup finally caught up with them.
