It is true. Major League Baseball has scheduled road games for the Arizona Diamondbacks this season. As much as they’ve grown comfortable living at home for the first 18 of 21 games, it was bound to happen.
Save for one short road jaunt to San Francisco against the Giants, the Diamondbacks will finally get to take to the road for eight games in three cities.
It starts tonight in Milwaukee against the Brewers. Max Scherzer will take to the mound against Jeff Suppan tonight. If things go south fast, which they could, as the Brew Crew have won seven of eight, Bob Melvin and the Dbacks could use the following excuses:
“We thought all games started at 6:40?
“It was the Swine Flu.“
“We forgot to bring our bats on the trip.” Actually, that might be true, well, never mind...
“We filled up on brats prior to the game in the parking lot. Looking back, probably not the best choice.”
“Two words: Trevor Hoffman.“
“It was the Swine Flu…Oh, we used that one already? It doesn’t seem like it.”
Maybe they come out on all cylinders? Ok, ok, now that I’ve picked myself up off the floor from laughing so hard, maybe they really will do well….Ok ok, I promise, I’ll stop. I’ll be here all week—try the Pork Carnitas.
By the way guys, we bat first. Go Dbacks!
