KIRK GIBSON RUMORS & GOSSIP
D-backs notebook: It's not too late
That the Diamondbacks are not where they want to be after consecutive defeats in San Francisco is a given.
"We're much better than this," manager Kirk Gibson said after the 3-1 loss to the Giants on Tuesday.
At the same time, as daunting as it may seem, the D-backs' 10 12-game deficit in the NL West is not a wait-until-next-year sentence, according to research...

History shows there's hope for Arizona
That the Diamondbacks are not where they want to be after consecutive defeats in San Francisco is a given. "We're much better than this," manager Kirk Gibson said after the 3-1 loss to the Giants on Tuesday. At the same time, as daunting as it may seem, the D-backs' 10 1/2-game deficit in the NL West is not a wait-until-next-year sentence, according to research...

D-backs answer Gibby's call, down Brewers
PHOENIX -- Sure, the season is not even a third of the way over. And the bulk of the intradivision games, where the results mean more, have not been played.
Still, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson was pretty clear before Saturdays game.
We have to have a push," he said.
The D-backs' first shove followed quickly, a resilient 8-5 win over the Brewers in which they overcame...

The Not All-Detroit Tigers Team of the Last 20 Years: Hitters
It struck me today that this 2012 baseball season marks the 20th year in which I have been “baseball conscious”*.

D-backs' comeback victory looks like old times
DENVER Hitting can destroy your mind, Kirk Gibson was saying early Thursday.
It can also be a lot of fun.
Whether it is enough to prevent a few roster changes has yet to be determined.
The D-backs destroyed Colorado with some late hitting in a 9-7 victory at Coors Field, and it was just like the old days.

D-backs having trouble finding their swing
PHOENIX A glass-half-full guy might conclude that the Diamondbacks are in an OK place right now because they are conforming to their 2011 pace.
Manager Kirk Gibson is not willing to go that far, even if the D-backs' 15-20 record resembles their 15-22 start last season.
But that is about where the similarity ends, he said.
"We are not playing good baseball," Gibson...

You know what I want to hear when the Cardinals leave a series?"We got out-executed the whole series," manager Kirk Gibson said.

Gibson gets unique gift from Navy SEALs
SAN DIEGO There was a new nameplate on manager Kirk Gibson's desk in the San Diego clubhouse.
A Diamondbacks logo and the words Deal With It were printed on the raised brass plate, which was slotted into grooves cut into two 50-caliber bullets.
Gibson could not have been prouder.
"Pretty cool, Gibson said in a classic understatement.
The D-backs adopted that motto...
