The Arizona Diamondbacks lost their sixth straight tonight against the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-4, blowing a 4-1 8th inning lead.  That unfortunately is not new territory for the Dbacks.  This team has pretty much given up.  The entire bullpen needs to be replaced in 2010.  The offense is too talented to be so poor in [...]

  • The Dbacks suck, can't believe that high school kid of a manager actually talked about getting to .500 about six weeks ago. And the organization should have their heads examined for giving him a 3 year contract instead of tagging him interim. Then they could see what is available on the market after the season. But I guess you have to be cheap when you're still paying players that are retired, like Bell, Williams and Finley to name a few. Now this is a team that bought a World Series and they may not see another one for a long long time.
