Pena pitches the 8th. I don't like the move. Qualls only threw 8 pitches. He could go another inning. Pena has been too spotty.

Jon! Is your TV in the same room as your computer? I have to choose between watching the game or posting!

Great game....what a hit by Owings. Dude is a freak. I sure wish they could find a place for that guy in the everyday lineup....he is unreal...8-19 now, with 1 HR and 6 RBI....he's Mr. Automatic!

Another win by our D-Backs....onward we go!

I do have that set up at home, but today I was following on-line - CBS Sportsline has pitch by pitch real-time updates, with even pitch location - it is awesome! I check the highlights at night.


Owings is a freak - and what a weapon to have - another pinch-hitter, without having to carry an extra hitter on the roster.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that was Gonzalez's last start. Scherzer looked unHITtable tonight, and will in all likelihood be moved into the rotation beginning on Saturday.

D-backs lose, but it looks like we've got ANOTHER dominant starter to add to an already formidable rotation.

Bo-Mel just announced that Max will start Monday vs Philadelphia.

I'm a genius. Talkin' with the boys at work yesterday a.m., I predicted Gonzo getting shelled, and being moved to the bullpen...I did NOT predict Scherzer coming in and striking out 7 of the 10 guys he faced, though....it can't SERIOUSLY be THAT easy, can it?

I am going to try to get to that game. I have a meeting downtown that is SUPPOSED to be over by 6. If so, I am just going to head over to the ball park.

One minor statistical correction: it was 7 of 13 batters faced.

Have fun at the game! I'm jealous...
