Very disappointing.

2500? just wait to Sept.

A few more showed up. Maybe 5000-6000.

Both ingenious and devious. This Cherington fellow is amazing.
Concerning Crowe. Usually after 4 innings, he really goes down hill. Maybe they should consider making him a short relief guy. Not a closer but 6,7, or 8

Gamel with a trip-trip-triple.

Busted his tail around the bases. I like this guy. Surprised no one picked him up at TTD.

It does seem that way. But he should have been out of the inning with the grounder to Hayes at 3B before 3 more runs scored.

What lead is safe when these two titans of baseball collide?

It's the 5th inning and Matt Capps said we have 3 more innings. Where is Neal Walker?

Walker is probably at a mandatory math class all the color commentators have to attend. Capps doesn't go until next week. ;)

If he can better help the team win by pitching in relief, who would be opposed that?

If the Dbacks hang on to win they will be 4-0 vs the Pirates and 39-83 vs the rest of MLB.

Greg Brown, PLEASE stop talking about Capps! There's a game going on!
