    Parking at the Games

    Oops, I'm late. Definitely go early and eat at one of the Westgate restaurants. The food in the arena leaves a lot to be desired. The Hooters chicken sandwich, macho nachos, Oggi's pizza and dippin' dots are the only things I consume there or even come close to recommending. Parking is...

    NHL All Star Game

    It's the Candiens' 100th season, there was no way they were not going to get the All-Star Game. 2010 is the Olympics. 2011 is the next available and I want to see it then before we get screwed out of another one. The current CBA expires in the summer of 2011, so let's get this in before another...

    2008-2009 Season Thread

    The Minnesota game was a stinker, they can't win up there and Backstrom simply owns this team. Penalties did them in and Carcillo wasn't even playing. The penalty killing, which had been pretty good this season, was atrocious Thursday. The power play has gone back to being non-existent (2 for...

    third jersey

    A seller on ebay had these for a few days. The guy is in Indonesia, where the Premier (replica) jerseys are made, and that's where the package came from. I bought one of these and wore it to last Saturday's game, only a Sharks fan acknowledged it, wanting to see the paw logo. Since these haven't...

    You're the Diamondbacks GM, what moves do you make this offseason?

    Hand in my immediate resignation.

    The team is now officially DUNN. :sad:

    Crap, the Padres are no help at all, LA slaughtered them last night, so make it one...D-back loss or LA win and it's officially curtains for this team. :titanic:

    Q&A with Josh Byrnes

    Despite all of Josh's brilliant personnel moves over the last year or so, the Diamondbacks are worse this year. How will he continue the fragmentation of the team this winter?

    Lots of men left on base tonight, same old crap from a so-so team. Tragic number is down to two. Yep, another typical disappointing Arizona team, alright.

    They even have their website up... http://reno.baseball.milb.com/index.jsp?sid=t2310 Notice the diamond in the A. So imaginative. Maybe they'll have a promotion with the nearby Moonlight Bunny Ranch. :D

    2009 AAA team will be...

    The Reno Aces. Now I would think it more cost-effective to drive up and down to Tucson than to fly back and forth to Reno. The Sidewinders owner is getting more $ from the group that is moving them to Reno, so away they go. I was hoping the team would choose 911 for the nickname. You know, the...

    third jersey

    The graphics on this year's season tickets are rotating the three new artwork (roadkill, paw and script) images as shown above, as well as the main logo.

    D-backs vs. Cardinals (and Rockies) series thread

    Yes, even my wife noticed that Daron looked pretty disgusted in his post-game analysis. It was pretty strange seeing the usual drone being so passionately critical. I bet if ya talked to him off the air, he'd spill plenty of blunt critique. :eek:

    So many times for D-back starters, the first inning is the worst inning. Why is that? no Sticky for this thread??

    Have we ever beat the Jets?

    My very first NFL game was the Cardinals-Jets game on October 22, 1978 at Shea Stadium on a sunny autumn day. The Jets won 23-10, sending the St. Louis Cardinals to an 0-8 record.

    D-backs vs. Cardinals (and Rockies) series thread

    And I thought the Cardinals borrowed Chip Hale, but it was really Jose Oquendo costing his team from the coach's box. ;) Melvin rolled the dice on Webb and it worked out. Webb may have pitched himself the Cy Young award after that one or at least into the lead, but he has one more game...

    D-backs vs. Cardinals (and Rockies) series thread

    Er, maybe I meant he never played against them this year, yeah that's it :maninground: . It's good that the notes are being carefully read :) , you're right and he is not too great against Arizona, now 0-3, 6.59 vs. the D-backs.

    ASU vs. Georgia

    Losing to Vegas was disturbing enough, but I hate that the SunDevils are 1-11 against ranked opponents in the past four seasons. I hate it even more that Georgia fans had such a presence. In this town, I shouldn't be surprised, all the teams in Phoenix (except maybe the Suns) have to deal with...

    D-backs vs. Cardinals (and Rockies) series thread

    The D-backs will head east to the Gateway Arch for a tedious four-game series against the Cardinals. The D-backs come off a series win against the Holliday-less Rockies to start their final week of the regular season. They trail LA by two and a half games (Dodger magic number is FIVE) and really...

    D-backs vs Rockies series thread

    Davis pitched well and had lousy defensive support. It equaled yet another no decision for DD. Drew continued to deliver at the plate (good thing he did not get ball four in that last at-bat!) and the road skid is done. Back to scoreboard watching...

    D-backs vs Rockies series thread

    I was hoping that when Young reached base in the 7th, that they would send him running on Corpas' first pitch, but no, they didn't and Jackson eventually lined into a double play. Another good pitching performance was wasted because this team can't score runs. The team has completely forgotten...

    This season

    The Western Conference is so competitive, but I expect them to make the playoffs this year. For the Coyotes to get in, someone has to fall out. I think Nashville will be that team. Last year, the Coyotes hit a wall with about a dozen games left, likely because the young nucleus of players had...

    third jersey

    They are already utilizing the paw logo, not on jerseys yet, but on scoreboard graphics. During the rookie game, when they put the score on the highlights on jumbotron during their period reviews, beneath the team names, you could make out that graphic. The alternate logo looks like roadkill...

    D-backs vs Rockies series thread

    After leaving the entire lineup on base each night last week, the D-backs bounced back, sweeping the Giants. In usual fashion, they relievers HAD to let the Giants back in the game a few times, but the D-backs survived and are back at .500. It's time to bundle up and keep the winning streak...

    Dbacks vs. Giants series thread

    Randy's last win was August 12 and thanks to a combination of the bullpen and the offense, he stays stuck at 294. :( At least they swept this series, but the doomsday clock is ticking. Thanks for starting the series thread, coyoteshockeyfan :raccoon:
