    Stick a fork in 'em...

    Like I told you before, Burrell and Gavin Floyd and he's yours. I'm sure he'd love to go back to Philly. edit: Throw in Taylor Bucholz for good measure. After all, Schilling has won 45 games over the last 2 years.

    Attendance at Monday's game

    Actually the usual MO for NEM is to whine about what it takes to be a "real fan", and how Arizona fans in general don't fit that description. But he also cries about ticket prices on a regular basis so he's not really out of his algae infested pool...so to speak. I wonder if Vegas will give...

    Attendance at Monday's game

    Nem or Nemite you're all the same, but I'll play along since I haven't slapped around a critic of your ilk in quite some time. Gee, the players on the team are old? Tell us something we don't know or haven't read about a thousand times in the national media. With that kind of sterling...

    Agree 100%....that's NEM, just blabs for the sake of blabbing.

    For Tucson People (or anyone who knows)

    There is a way to get some of the Phoenix local channels, but it requires a sattelite dish and some not so legal McGyvering.

    WestValleyFan is either NEM or his stunt double. I've heard this same tripe out of him for years now, and he uses the same syntax.

    I am going to break the curse

    The curse is this umpiring crew.

    A bright spot

    At least Kim had a good outing today in Colorado. That place can wreak havoc on a pitcher and Kim did okay. Pitch count was a bit high with 93 in 5 innings, but 60 of them were strikes, and he walked only 1.

    Scott Service

    I saw the reason in today's paper while waiting for a chair at the barbershop, but now I can't remember the exact details. Anyway, it went something like this....in the first 10 days of the regular season, a team cannot call up anybody currently on the 40 man roster. Of course anybody they do...

    Stephen Randolph

    The problem with Cresse is he just stagnated. He got a lot of hype when he tore up A ball after being drafted, but as is often the case, the jump to AA proved more difficult than expected. The promotion from A to AA is the toughest one to make in the minor leagues...well...outside of going from...

    620 Broadcast Team

    Well last season Hernandez did have a good year despite striking out 188 times, but I wouldn't count on him hitting for a park adjusted .290 batting average again. In over 3,500 career at bats, Hernandez has a lifteime .256 average. With his K:BB ratio of nearly 4:1, Hernandez isn't likely to...

    Ticket prices

    According to Team Marketing Report , the Diamondbacks have one of the lowest average ticket prices in the entire league. Only Minnesota, Kansas City, Montreal, and Florida have lower average ticket prices than Arizona's $14.60.

    Stephen Randolph

    I'll do the best that I can with updates, but I don't have any connections with the Sidewinders to get anything really deep about the team. Last night was unusual as I rarely see Rick Parr, the GM, patrolling the concourse like he did last night. I won't be at tonight's game, because I'm...

    Stephen Randolph

    I was talking to the Sidewinders GM last night at the game, and asked him about Randolph and why he was out of options. He didn't rteally give me a definitive answer, but just talked in general terms about Randolph spending too much time in the minors to have any options left. Then something...
