I’m really too bummed and sick about being swept by the Colorado Rockies to even comment much on the game or the series.
It probably would have been better had Arizona not scored three runs in the eighth inning to close to 6-4. The actual hope that we could come back made the entire night worse.
The [...]

Sunday will be a defining day for Arizona Sports.
First, the Cardinals take on the Carolina Panthers in a game featuring a pair of 3-2 teams. Then the D-Backs face the Rockies in game three of the NLCS.
The stakes are huge for both teams.

Yes, it’s a best out of seven series, but going to Colorado for three road games doesn’t bode well for the “Anyone, Anytime” Arizona Diamondbacks.
They certainly could have used SOMEONE tonight.
Arizona stranded 11 baserunners in the almost five-hour long contest.  They had a couple of huge mistakes, an error on Mark Reynolds and a baserunning [...]

The Arizona Diamondbacks received a bit of help on Wednesday when the mother of all curses was announced as having been directed at the hottest team in baseball.
We should be relieved, it could have been the Dbacks. But I guess the fact that even compared to Colorado Rockies, Arizona is still the underdog.
Jeff Francis, the [...]

Who is going to win the NLCS?  The Diamondbacks, with the National League’s best record of 90-72, or the Colorado Rockies, who took one extra game to reach the 90-win plateau?
On Defense, the Rockies get the edge, with a higher fielding percentage (.989), than the D-Backs’ (.983).  The Rockies were the best defensive team in [...]

Some sicko skinned a goat and hung it from the Harry Caray Statue at Wrigley.  Cubs fans were outraged…that it didn’t reverse the curse.  Any doubt that class has left the “friendly confines” is all but gone.  Even the toolbag Jay Mariotti was more disgusted that this heinous act didn’t help the “beloved” Cubbies.  The [...]

Livan Hernandez looked like Livan Hernandez and the D-Backs hitters looked like they’d swung a bat before, finishing off the Cubs in a 5-1 NLDS series-sweeping win in Chicago.

The D-Backs beat the crap out of the Cubs (who?) for the second night in a row in Chase Field. The Flubs were awful and deserved the ridicule of the entire MLB.
The D-Backs watered down the area around home plate before the game. Lou complained, so the Diamond Sod was distributed to make [...]

Don’t understand how the D-Backs (A) made the playoffs (b) won the NL West or (c) hold a 1-0 playoff lead over the Cubs? This T/F questionnaire should answer all the lingering questions you have:

Last night, Brandon Webb proved to be the better man and outlasted Cubs’ Ace, Carlos Zambrano. Both pitchers threw less than 90 pitches, but Webb had a full inning of work more than Zambrano. That was key because while the D-Backs were able to bridge the game to Valverde with Lyon, the Cubs’ reliever Marmol [...]
