Anquan Boldin did not play in this game…but his spirit did.

What a weekend for Arizona sports. First the Diamondbacks and now this.
We’ve seen and felt this football team get better each week. Even in the loss to Baltimore, I wrote that it was a moral victory because of the offense we discovered and the near-win we almost had. You could just sense that with Ken […]

I guess there is some justice in the world, no matter how small or meaningless it is now.
A 15-yard uncessary roughness penalty last week against Adrian Wilson put the Ravens deep into Cardinals’ territory and essentially gave them great field goal position.

Three Games are all that remain in the regular season for the Diamondbacks.  The Rockies and the Padres can top out at 90 and 91 wins respectively, the D-Backs can top out at 92 wins.  If the D-Backs beat the Rockies in one game, they eliminate Colorado in the Division Race (D-Backs would have 90 wins and […]

Micah Owings continues to the pound the ball as he went 4-4 with three doubles against Pittsburgh today as Arizona routed the Pirates 8-0 in a huge win. Almost a must-win game.
The edge against the Padres was only a game before Arizona won today and another loss would have been their fourth in a row. […]
