I’m sure we had worse when Gonzo got hurt and Finley got traded in 04’.

I don't recall it ever being THIS bad. The entire line-up is collectively hitting below the Mendoza line, while more than half of it's members are as well...

And it's not just THAT we're losing, but HOW we're losing.

And, once again, that Hazen has thrown in the towel.

Well, the Mighty Mercury, who have clinched a spot in the WNBA playoffs,
just pulled out an overtime victory, despite a depleted roster.

The high of watching the game didn't last long.

Mookie Betts with a leadoff HR vs. the lowly Diamondbacks.

I guess the answer is . . . don't take the D-backs seriously.

Kendrick threw in the towel. Expect more payroll gone by next season.
It really doesn't matter who threw in the towel.

Having said that, if the team didn't play so pathetically,
it would not have happened.

It all comes down to what goes on between the lines.

And that falls on Lovullo, and on Hazen for looking
the other way.

And then, yes, on Kendrick and his cohorts who are
watching it happen. Then taking it out on the fans.

Good for the Mercury.

I don't follow the WNBA much but I couldn't help but notice that Diggins-Smith is an excellent player.

As a Point Guard who can score, the most important part of her joining the Mercury was to take
pressure off Diana Taurasi, who is getting on in years, as both a playmaker and a scorer.

The D-backs, with this extra inning loss, is up to -- I mean down to -- 2 & 18
in their last 20 games. Tomorrow's game is also at 6:30. MadBum pitches.

One game away from the worst stretch in franchise history. When is someone, anyone, going to be held accountable? And if nobody is held accountable, why should we as fans continue to give this franchise financial support?

It’s funny you posted this because right after watching the game I looked up a bunch of sites to see who was suppose to be the top player in this years draft. At this point Rocker definitely seems to be the consensus #1 pick.

His teammate Jack Leiter is probably the #2 prospect.
