Happy Memorial Day everyone!
I’m taking time to sit back and reflect on the reasons why today most of us are off of work and spending time with friends and family instead. I’ll admit, sitting back and taking a look at the calendar a couple of weeks ago, I was very excited...

The rain is starting to become the Arizona Diamondbacks best opponent. Count that now as three straight game days without a loss. They have now been rained out two days in a row. I suppose that’s one way to avoid more losses. You know, eventually a sunny day or a roof...

Well this was bound to happen. It was only a matter of time before the Dbacks started to turn on their new skipper and themselves. Friday night Dbacks starting pitcher Doug Davis had words for new skipper A.J. Hinch, after he was pulled in the seventh inning for a pinch hitter...

Nope. Not looking like it.
Carlos Zambrano and the Chicago Cubs are making it look pretty easy right now in the bottom of the 4th leading 7-1. Dan Haren’s masterpiece last night in a 7-2 victory seems like ages ago at this point. Alfonso Soriano and Mike Fontenot went yard again...

It is true. Major League Baseball has scheduled road games for the Arizona Diamondbacks this season. As much as they’ve grown comfortable living at home for the first 18 out of 21 games, it was bound to happen. Save for one short road jaunt to San Francisco against the...

The Arizona Diamondbacks may have found a way to win without hitting. They walk..and walk…and walk. We can complain about the lack of hitting all we want and trust me, I do my fair share. However this team has been showing a propensity to walk, alot.

The Arizona Diamondbacks turned a triple play this evening, their second in franchise history. It was the first turned against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 18 years. Not that it matters. Currently the Dodgers lead the Dbacks 4-1 in the 6th. Manny Ramirez and Andre Either went...

Every year when a team gets off to a rocky start in any sport, except maybe football, a normal excuse you’ll hear is that it is still early. You’ll hear more often than not in major league baseball because of the 162-game season. In some cases, May 5th can still be...

It’s being reported by multiple media outlets that the new Arizona Diamondbacks skipper is going to be AJ Hinch, currently the Dbacks Vice-President of Player Development.

Saturday night the Arizona Diamondbacks left a few good men out there. If the lockerroom seems a little less crowded after the game, go check the bases. They will be bound to find some guys out there. Why not? It’s something the apparently enjoy doing. They left 16...

As I was sitting at the Diamondbacks game last night against the Nationals, I was growing more and more agitated as the Dbacks left more and more men on base. So, I found even the little things were agitating me. Besides I had the time since the game was entering boredomville....
