I’m really too bummed and sick about being swept by the Colorado Rockies to even comment much on the game or the series.
It probably would have been better had Arizona not scored three runs in the eighth inning to close to 6-4. The actual hope that we could come back made the entire night worse.
The […]

Yes, it’s a best out of seven series, but going to Colorado for three road games doesn’t bode well for the “Anyone, Anytime” Arizona Diamondbacks.
They certainly could have used SOMEONE tonight.
Arizona stranded 11 baserunners in the almost five-hour long contest.  They had a couple of huge mistakes, an error on Mark Reynolds and a baserunning […]

The Arizona Diamondbacks received a bit of help on Wednesday when the mother of all curses was announced as having been directed at the hottest team in baseball.
We should be relieved, it could have been the Dbacks. But I guess the fact that even compared to Colorado Rockies, Arizona is still the underdog.
Jeff Francis, the […]

Who is going to win the NLCS?  The Diamondbacks, with the National League’s best record of 90-72, or the Colorado Rockies, who took one extra game to reach the 90-win plateau?
On Defense, the Rockies get the edge, with a higher fielding percentage (.989), than the D-Backs’ (.983).  The Rockies were the best defensive team in […]

Some sicko skinned a goat and hung it from the Harry Caray Statue at Wrigley.  Cubs fans were outraged…that it didn’t reverse the curse.  Any doubt that class has left the “friendly confines” is all but gone.  Even the toolbag Jay Mariotti was more disgusted that this heinous act didn’t help the “beloved” Cubbies.  The […]

Livan Hernandez looked like Livan Hernandez and the D-Backs hitters looked like they’d swung a bat before, finishing off the Cubs in a 5-1 NLDS series-sweeping win in Chicago.

Don’t understand how the D-Backs (A) made the playoffs (b) won the NL West or (c) hold a 1-0 playoff lead over the Cubs? This T/F questionnaire should answer all the lingering questions you have:

Last night, Brandon Webb proved to be the better man and outlasted Cubs’ Ace, Carlos Zambrano. Both pitchers threw less than 90 pitches, but Webb had a full inning of work more than Zambrano. That was key because while the D-Backs were able to bridge the game to Valverde with Lyon, the Cubs’ reliever Marmol […]

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 […]

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 […]
