I wouldn't exactly call Brandon Webb and Dan Haren scrubs. The Diamondbacks aren't peforming well this year, but they have a lot of young guys that should mature and be very good. Being the highest paid player doesn't make you the best player.

Reds fans should understand this since they have sucked for about 20 years now.

10 years (15 at most) thank you very much.

BTW...on the bean I assume you were watching the Arizona broadcast. I just watched it on MLB.tv and they really blew that out of proportion. It was a ball that got away from Owings. You don't plunk a scrub who in the leadoff hitter in a 3 run game. Besides, if the hitter backed off the pitch instead of turning his back he would not have been hit. If that was a bean, Owings did it poorly, picked a bad time, and picked a poor batter.

Yeah, I watched it on Fox Sports Arizona with Mark Grace and Darron Sutton as the announcers.

I just hope there are some intentional beans tonight and we get to see some UFC action on the diamond.

Zimmerman went 0-3 with 2 BBs today, ending his hit streak at 30 games.

This means the longest hitting streak in the majors belongs too ... (drumroll) ...

Willie T. 13 games.

Who knew? :crazy:

I am not by any stretch one of the Dunn-haters but...

Micah Owings + Replacement-level LF ****> Adam Dunn + Homer Bailey

Also, did I see somebody say that Ramon Hernandez had NEVER played 1B before? Regardless, he is more than holding his own defensively there. I never gave much thought to who our backup 1B would be this year until I showed up that the ballpark one night and Votto wasn't in there. Hernandez has been a pleasant surprise.

It's been reported differently that Hernandez had or had not played 1B before. According to Baseball Reference though, prior to this year he'd played 1B at some point in seven different games, but with only one start. He'd never done it more than twice in any single season, and here it's mid-May and he's already got seven starts at 1B for the Reds.

Big props to Ramon, and to Hanigan too.

EDIT: Welsh mentioned later in the broadcast that Ramon plays 1B in Winter Leagues, and doesn't catch to save the knees. So it's not his first rodeo after all.

I've got a fever ... I think it's the T-Virus.

Single, stolen base, crossing home on a single by Hairston. :banger:

Little graphic on FSN just now showing that this year, the Reds lead the NL in going first-to-third on singles. They were 14th in that category last year.

D-Backs suck. Whoopty fucking doo. You beat the last place team in the shitty NL West. Pop the fucking champagne! :drunks:

I'm so pissed at these sucky ass D-Backs. Wake UP CALL!!! D-Backs, you're not in fucking AA anymore!!! I think I might go to the next game just to boo the shit out of them.

I'm slightly intoxicated, so don't take my post the wrong way.

Eric Byrnes, stop doing your gay ass weekly televisoin show and start practicing how to hit a fucking baseball..... Oh, and stop promoting that gay ass clothing line you just came out with and practice hitting the fucking baseball. If the D-Backs weren't payijng you 12 fucking million a year, they'd bench the shit out of you.; stupd
