Series Thread: Diamondbacks vs. Astros

[Orange602]

Need 3 out of 4 in this series. Still only 6 back in the wild card and could use this series to maintain momentum.

It's ridiculous how every move by the Dbacks is criticized. The horrific Cahill is DFA and the only comments I've seen are smartass remarks from Dback bashers about how he isn't gritty and doesn't hit enough guys. According to these people Cahill is apparently "talented" and this was a "stupid" move. Towers brought it upon this team but it's evident that we are a laughing stock of the MLB.

Will Harris and JJ Putz brought up instead of Barrett or Stites? Fuck you Towers.

 

[Jonas_steven]

Fucking Harris and putz?!?! Fuck this team!!!

The Ferris wheel looks like his bolts are going to come out in the first inning. This team is just awesome!

Really? Cahill has been one of the worse acquisitions in Dback's history. I thought that it was pretty unanimous that he needed to go. Idiots.

Dammit Collmenter. This had better be the only rough inning that you have.

 

[Jonas_steven]

Dammit collmenter!

 

[Orange602]

Two runs isn't too bad. Dbacks offense needs to continue putting up runs!

 

[Jonas_steven]

Well...we should see the bullpen around the 5th inning. Jesus Christ.

That's OK, we have Putz and Harris back! Woo!

 

[Jonas_steven]

Pollock would have had that ball...

 

[Jonas_steven]

We are going to get ass blasted by the Astros! Better start switching between this and the rattlers game!

Fox sports does an injustice to my television. It doesn't even air in 1080P!

Re: Cahill

Though he has options available, as a veteran with over five years of service time to his name, Cahill would need to agree to any assignment from the D’backs – and would not sacrifice future salary if he declines. Towers implied that he has agreed to do just that, says Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic (links to Twitter): “There’s a game plan in place for what we’re ultimately going to do, but as of right now he’s just designated.” Presumably, the club would allow Cahill to try to work out his issues while stretching back out as a starter.

Basically that means unless a team picks him & his contract($7 & $12 mil) up via waivers, Cahill will accept his assignment to Reno rather than request to be released.

The rattlers are never going to lose! They are unbeatable!

 

[Jonas_steven]

Billy Beane probably just laughs every time he gets off the phone with Kevin Towers!

 

[Jonas_steven]

Get the fucking bat off your shoulder!

 

[Jonas_steven]

This is ugly so far!

Touki was a great pickup! I wouldn't mind having a bob Gibson in the lineup!
