Max Scherzer

I'm gonna predict that by 5/30, Scherzer isn't in the rotation any more and Yusmero Petit is.

Done. So I take it you'll take the "over"?

Yup!!

Done. So I take it you'll take the "over"?

Yup!!

Do I gotta be right about Petit, or just right about Scherzer NOT being the 5th starter?

[dbackjon]

Yup!!

Do I gotta be right about Petit, or just right about Scherzer NOT being the 5th starter?

Scherzer not being starter = one drink
Petit being starter = one drink


You could end up buying me TWO drinks, or vice versa, or round one on me, round two on you.

I was at the game....Garland looked GREAT! As did Young, CoJack and even Byrnes. Well played game all the way around!

It was a great all-around game. Glad Garland looked so sharp. Also liked the patience the whole team showed at the plate.

The ESPN highlight showed a guy in a box seat with four empty beer bottles in front of him. Was that you?

Good win for Arizona. Anytime the LA Mannies lose, I'm happy!

No, but I WAS on TV when Felipe Lopez almost hit that one out to right-center. I was in what's called the Porch Seats, a row of seats that hang over the outfield....very pricey, all the food you can eat and non-alcoholic drinks you can drink....they lost money on my son last night.

Eric Byrnes finally does something other than popping out, hits three-run home run in bottom of tenth to win game.
