Royals v. Snakes - from the Blue side

Ok, so Greinke is human. I was afraid of that, but still reality sucks. I think the KC hitters were spooked by the two different colored eyes, they really freaked me out.
Tonight we have Luke "taxicab with doors open" Hochevar starting on the mound. He's been doing alright, but his claim to fame is that his sister is a beach volleyball player. But her ears are very close to her head. Oh yeah and in his last start he threw 85 pitches in a comlete game win. Not bad.
On a side note the North Carolina baseball team has the same goofyass "spaceball" helmet as Texas. Who's going to tell them the look like idiots? Oh wait they just across town, I'll be right back.....

Sedona Red at Baby Blue...from the snake side

Don't worry KC fan(s) the Dbacks have a very hard time playing well for two games in a row. And Dan Haren is pitching (he's the AZ version of Greinke, but without the anxieties), which means he will receive absolutely no run support - 'cause they like to test him, and because his teammates are worthless.

No need to be frightened tonight Star, Mom would say "he has pretty eyes"  and she would be right. He does, however, have funny pitching mechanics - a "stop at the top" -a long pause with one foot suspended above the ground and then throws the ball. Should be a good game...just kidding.

Tonight Murphy tries to keep the devils alive- is Dirtman going?

Greinke vs Snakes (Game 2)

Don't assume the two colored-eyed guy can't beat the Royals. He seems pretty distracting.

But the "Second Coming", as Lilly calls Zack, had two bad outings, and his ERA ballooned up to an obscene 1.72. That's alot of money for a beer! At one point, a bar was pricing a beer at Greinke's ERA on the nights he was starting.

Star would like to order up 3 more errors by the DBacks, that always helps.

Also, we would like to give some props to journeyman Willie Bloomquist, deceptively fast for a guy that looks like the hurt catcher John Buck. Not that it matters.

And let's hope that CWS game takes less than 4 hours tonight. Those games are ridiculous.

Snakes at the Greinke's - gm 2

The Dbacks lived up to form last night *slow clap* brilliant, way to be consistent boys.

Tonight they face the Second Coming, so they should probably save up their energy and give Danny some run support on Thursday. 

Missouri native Max Scherzer pitches tonight for AZ. He's young & fairly unpredictable...but had a good game going 7 innings in his most recent outing. But mostly he's known for having two different colored eyes...confusing and slightly scary.

Royal vs DBacks - game 1 (the blue side)

There are a handful of people who care about this game, I'm just not sure who they are. KC is showing the same stuff as they did last year when they would go on tremendously atrocious streaks. Lose like 8 in a row, win 1, then lose another 6 or so. Yikes. Can't hit, can't pitch, can't field. Thought I was watching the Huskers. By the way, that is not a compliment.

Tonight, Star's not-so-secret crush, Gil Meche will start. (Don't tell her other MLB bf.)He is coming off his best start of the year, a 9-0, 11K, 8 inning outing against somebody. (Can't remember. It's been 6 days.) And the team is coming off the first 3 game sweep of the year. Granted, it was against the hapless Reds. But we will take it.

My MLB bf who looks ALOT like Howdy Doody, will put his seven game hitting streak on the line tonight. Don't laugh, we take 'em where we can get 'em!

Ready for first pitch. Let's go Blue....

Dbacks at Royals - game 1 (from the snake side)

Dbacks continue interleague play tonight at Kansas City-who cares? Well, nobody really. 

On that note...here's the dback's half-glass...

Doug Davis gets the start tonight, he had been doing well but had a terrible outing in his last game. DD is not gonna blow any pitches past you but he will wear you out. Plus he gets extra inspirational points after he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last spring, had surgery and came back to pitch by midseason. 

The Dbacks are young and often make really stupid mistakes, like forgetting they need to score runs to win the game or that the game is 9 innings instead of 7. But depending on the lineup they may make your eyes happy...you be the judge.
