That was fun!
Going to game one of the Diamondbacks/Cubs series I was not sure what to expect in terms of the fan ratio. I was concerned that we would be embarrassed on national TV with a crowd of mostly Cubs fans in our building.
Fortunately the game was on TBS, so knowing that nobody was actually […]

I’d love to know what Jose Valverde says when he closes out a game like that. The guys on ESPN think he says “Get out of here! Game over!” But I think it’s hard to tell.
Either way, it gets me pumped. Especially now in the playoffs.
The Arizona Diamondbacks took Game 1 of the NLDS against […]

Brandon Webb:
Webb finishes up his fifth year in MLB with his first post season appearance.  The D-Backs ace shows little emotion on the mound and has proven that he can rise to the occassion in big games (see his last start in Colorado).  Earlier this season, Webby shut out opponents 42 consecutive innings.  He has […]

If you haven’t heard Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, then you are missing a great band born out of Arizona, much like the Gin Blossoms. Clyne was also the frontliner/writer for The Refreshments from the 90’s, who had a great little tune called “The World is Full of Stupid People“ “Banditos“. Only a band like […]

Welcome to the Second Season.  If you think the D-Backs are going to crack under the pressure, you haven’t been watching this team.   
The MLB Post Season is upon us and unlike the Cubs fans, this is starting to become a regular occurrence to D-Back fans.  As usual, the D-Backs are getting no love in the national […]

We all need to start out the week balanced, so in the best crass American reinterpretation of ancient Asian philosophy, here’s your ying/yang of Arizona sports to start the week. Just don’t call me ugly.
Things that rule and suck:
RULES: ASU beating up Stanford for the first conference win on California soil in 4 years.
SUCKS: It […]

Trevor Hoffman took a 3-2 lead in the 9th inning for the San Diego Padres and completely blew the save, which lead to a 4-3 loss in the 11th inning to Milwaukee.
That loss, despite the 11-1 loss to Colorado by the Diamondbacks tonight, meant Arizona clinched the NL West Division Title and also home field […]

Jose Valverde made things interesting as usual, but his 47th save not only granted Brandon Webb his 18th win of the season, but also the more important playoff berth. Arizona beat the Colorado Rockies 4-2 in a nail-biting, nerve-wracking contest.
The New York Mets lost to the Florida Marlins 7-4, which was the clincher for Arizona.
The […]

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 […]
