I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic and see if it works again to our advantage.

[mikehughes]

Matt Chico faces off against his former team in their own stadium against the man he was traded for, im liking it..

Ill go with 3 of 4 from the Giants
2 of 3 from the D-backs. losing to Webb.

Final of 5-2

[2k6nats]

2 of 4 from the Giants; 1 of 3 from the Backs.  3-4 record.

2 of 4 from the Giants; 1 of 3 from the Backs.  3-4 record.

I'm going with the same thing.  3-4

[nospinzone1]

ARE WE TRYING TO BE CLAIRVOYANTS? WHAT AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY. IF WE COULD GUESS THINGS LIKE THAT AND OTHERS WE WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE TONS OF MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKET.

[saltydad]

3 of 4 for the Giants; 1 of 3 for the Dbacks. So 4-3.[

Spider, I agree to go cautiously optimistic, but what was your vote?

Spidey doesn't say - it's bad luck - I don't say or vote either - don't want to be a jinx 

[JMW IV]

5-2.

4 of 4 from the Giants, 1 out of 3 from the DBacks.

[natsfan1a]

I don't vote either. Not so much a jinx concern for me but I don't want to set myself or the team up with specific expectations.

[sportsfan882]

0-2 start.

Well on our way to a season ending 1-6 or 0-7 road trip.

[Roarin Storen]

Am I missing something? Why is today already counted as a loss??? We are winning....

shhhhhhhh... don't jinx us

[Roarin Storen]

shhhhhhhh... don't jinx us

You have to be optimistic!

[Roarin Storen]

[sportsfan882]

You have to be optimistic!

I put in the losing score to try and change our luck over the last few innings and YES it worked!

[Roarin Storen]

Oh yes.

[sportsfan882]

2-2 split against the Giants, not bad.  Arizona is a real tough opponent for us, winning 1 out of 3 would be ok. 

[metssuck]

should've been 3-1 but at least we didn't lose the series.

[PC]

If we win this Arizona series, it will be one of the high points of the season.

[2k6nats]

My prediction is looking pretty damn good so far.

[sportsfan882]

2-4... We better get another 6 game sweep at home this week

[PC]

Regardless of the outcome of today's game, this has been a hugely disappointing road trip.

There is no way we should have not won the Giants series and in this Diamondback series, at 4-4, all of the indicators were in our favor and we proceeded to blow it, BIG TIME.  Even last night's game, against the "unbeatable" Brandon Webb, we outhit them (5-4) and lost 1-0.  A disappointing loss...

That blown save by Chief on Monday looms large. I don't care about the 'media circus atmosphere' as an excuse. The game is played between the lines and we gave away that game to the Giants as well as two winnable games to the snakes. If they can't handle the 'media pressure' then we're in bigger need of a roster overhaul than originally believed.

You thought last night's game was winnable? Really ...??  I didn't - I thought it was miraculous to even get 5 hits off of webb, I would have been amazed if we had scored a run  ...
