Well, at least the guy Ortiz is going up against isnt all that great either.

No open roof for this series. The heat is brutal.

Just win the series, baby, don't worry about a sweep. Webb and Cruz are about due for a bad outing so the offense has got to keep hitting.

Isn't it about time to drop Gonzo to seventh in the batting order?

Leave everything as is, including leaving Ortiz in Tucson where he belongs. We're doing just fine

I think a friend and I are going down to the game tonight, I'm excited to get to see Webb in person for the first time this season!

2-0 Arizona.

Looks like a nice crowd for tonight's game.

 

[Lefty]

3-0 Diamondbacks. If there is one team I don't like, it's the Phillies.

 

[Evil Ash]

3-3 after 7. Quite a shame that yet again Webb gets a no decision after pitching so well. They finally ended the consecutive shutout streak at 30.

Connor Jackson is having a game he'd rather forget

 

[Lefty]

Crap, Phillies up 4-3 as Lyon gives up a run scoring double to of all people, Lieberthal(sp).

 

[Lefty]

Diamondbacks blow a 3-0 lead and lose. I hope this is not an indication to what will happen on this homestand. It was nice to see valverde come in and pitch like the Papa Grande we know.

At the game they said it was only about 21K.

Also, this was the first home game I've been to this year, does anyone know who the MC who runs the little contests and things is? Man, she's a looker.

Zona, you must be from Philly!

Nope, New Jersey.

Cruz is due for a bad game. I think we lose again tonight.

I think I heard that they switched him with Ortiz and Cruz will start tomorrow

When she first started she was terrible, but lets face it, she's not there for her performance. Personally I think she's a waste of time.

She can barely read, whenever she gets on top of that dugout you just cringe and/or start chugging.... Easy to look at though

We were at the game and were shocked that the announced attendance was so low. The place seemed pretty packed.

Great game except the final score.

 

[Lefty]

Russ Ortiz sucks!

 

[Evil Ash]

Russ Ortiz sucks!

He probably gets 3 starts including this one. If he continues to stink he will be placed in the bullpen permanently

One more bad start - normal for Ortiz - and he should be sent away for good; I don't even want to see him come out of the 'pen!!

Unfortunately with his contract, I highly doubt the team just waives him

 

[Evil Ash]

Of course if we could get Ortiz to pitch like he did the 2nd and 3rd inning regularly, then the team would have nothing to worry about...

What a turnaround

 

[Lefty]

Do you guys feel like the Diamondbacks might not even score tonight? I hope I am wrong.

Might not even score? At this point I'd be happy if somebody made it on base.

They've looked awful offensively and have yet to hit it to the outfield

Goodness, Ortiz just struck out his 7th batter
