OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Season savior alert!

"Diamondbacks released RHP Bob Howry.

Not a great showing from the right-handed setup man in Arizona. Howry inked a one-year, $2 million contract this offseason -- and will probably get to keep all of it -- but allowed a ridiculous 17 earned runs in 20 1/3 innings for the Diamondbacks this season. He packed his things Monday. Still, we'd bet that his 1.15 WHIP from last year will land him a shot elsewhere. "

Honestly, Bob Howry and/or Chad Go-Dan (DFA'd by the A's yesterday) would make the Cubs better, even if they continue to pitch the way they have this season.

And that is a sobering thought.

That is the exact opposite of a sobering thought. That makes me want to drink until I crank out the Cyndi Lauper.

Well, the sobriety is the inciting incident for the drunkenness.

Also...so you want to drink 2 My Tais?

It was five shots of Jameson and three shots of....well, whatever it was, it was red.

Grenadine?

The blood of Kevin Hart's cutter's victims?

Cherry jello shots?  Beet juice and goldschlagger shots? Clamato and peach schnapps shots?

Red Headed Sluts.



I bet that her hair color isn't real.

I bet I don't care. :D

This entire 8th inning is... is... something. I love her.

Lou in tonight's postgame presser:

"We're going to change Zambrano's role, stretch him out a bit more...from short to longer. Build up some arm strength and stamina."

When asked about the rotation, he denied that was what was happening.  Big Z the long reliever?

Well, they have been in some blowouts lately.  It's like the old saying, "If you don't want pay your ace pitcher to be your ace pitcher, then you can always use him in a mop-up role."
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.
