Wow. Seems like if it isn't one thing it is another with this team. Wasted outing by Sparks. This was one they should have captured. Maybe the off day will help them regroup then it is Milwaukee. Scary that the Brewers have a better record than the Dbacks. Sure hope the ex-Dbacks don't decide they need to show the Dbacks what they gave up this series. LOL

The frustrating thing about Steve is that it seems to be a question of attitude rather than skills.

Late last season, when he was moved to leadoff, Fins seemed to embrace the leadoff role (which is where he began his career). He hit in the .390's batting leadoff.

This season, he is back to his bad habit of trying to hit almost everything into the air. In Saturday's game, he flied out three times in his first three at-bats. 'Walked the fourth time when the pitcher went to his mouth without walking off the mound.

A leadoff hitter (preceeding the HR power of Gonzo and Sexson - after Alomar) trying to out-homer them just doesn't help the team get something going.

It's the same kind of performance that constantly got Tony Womack demoted to 8th in the lineup.

My wife and kids are already immune to my bouts of D'Back profanity - as soon as I found out what happened with f-ing Mantei yesterday, I let out some choice words, and the next thing I heard was: "What happened to your D'Backs now??"
