I hope we are not dead on our feet. Those losses to the Mets were heart breakers.

That's what I like about this team though...they don't quit and play hard everyday. I think they'll be fine.......Now let's get 2 of 3.

Shawn Green ends the offensive drought for the Dbacks after 24 scoreless innings. 2-0 Dbacks in the 8th.

Nice start to the 4-game series. Cruz looks like he is getting more comfortable since that horrible outting a few weeks ago.

Dback Jon · June 1st, 2006, 07:53 PM

Acquistion of Julio paying off already!

Nice win for the Dbacks I was busy watching the suns lose a must win game like usual sigh but glad the dbacks won lets have a good series against the Braves

I read that Valverde gave up a run in his last 5 appearances. With Julio's run last night that means we've given up a run in our last 6 save situations, right?

Yikes. Gotta fix that quick.

But we got the first win against the Braves. Great game by Cruz!

I hate the Braves. I dislike them as much as the Cowboys.

Is the first game of the doubleheader televised? I saw that the afternoon game is on both channel 3 and TBS but I can't find anything on the first game... Go Dbacks!

devilfan02 · June 3rd, 2006, 09:22 AM

Nevermind, I found it.... The first game won't be televised which really sucks. I wanted to watch Enrique pitch again plus he's going up against Smoltz. Thats to bad, lets up Enrique keeps pitching good so we can postpone the Russ Ortiz call up.

From azcentral.com-

Friday's game between the Diamondbacks and Braves was postponed and will be made up Saturday as part of a day-night doubleheader.
Game times were announced as 10 a.m. (Arizona time) and 4 p.m. (Arizona time).
Manager Bob Melvin will start the day game with Enrique Gonzalez, who was Friday's scheduled starter, and then go with Claudio Vargas in the night game.
Braves manager Bnobby Cox said he will start John Smoltz in the day game and John Thomson in the nightcap.
As for TV and radio coverage, the day game will not be televised but can be heard on KTAR-AM (620). The night game will be shown on Ch. 3 and be heard on KMVP-AM (860).

Gonzalez is pitching great again today! He has struck out 8, allowed 2 runs, and only walked 1 through 5 innings. We better not send him back to AAA for Ortiz

Dbacks win game one of todays doubleheader 4-2 behind a strong outing by Enrique Gonzalez and the bullpen.

Enrique went 6 innings giving up 4 hits, 2 ER, 1 BB, and 8 K's. Another great start!

Vizcaino pitched a solid 7th and only gave up 1 hit. Lyon came in in the 8th and was awesome. He struck out the side while only giving up one hit. After this mornings outing, Lyon has struck out 8 of the last 9 batters he has faced! Further proof that anyone who suggests Lyon be sent to Tucson is out of their mind.... Jorge Julio closed again and looked great. He pitched a perfect 9th which I don't remember the last time I've seen that done (at least for the Dbacks). Dbacks continue their quest for a sweep today at 4pm. Go Dbacks and while we're at it, Go Suns!
