    Dbacks release 2009 schedule

    I like having the schedule out this early, I can start planning road trips that I may want to take next year. For MLB, scheduling so many games in Phoenix in April means less chance of rainy climes canceling games. April showers, ya know. However, loading the schedule up front with so many home...

    Reds vs. D-backs series thread

    It's Jessica Simpson's fault. I was there in what is the redheads section (tix I purchase back in April) and sat through FOUR HOURS of high-school level baseball. The 'double' by Votto, which would turn into Cincy's first run was a disgraceful effort by Dunn and Young, running over and...

    Yay, Webb got win #20. I can hardly contain myself. Lyon almost put the "loser' in "closer'

    Baker switched the probables around, so I had to do a switcheroo on the previews. Get the arm angle up, Brandon...

    So far Sunday's game isn't a sell-out

    I agree with cardsfanmd, how do you not sell out the season opener??? This indicates that a lot of people don't go to Cardinal games to watch the Cardinals, they want to see the visitors. Most people don't want to pay money to see the Dolphins in person, ergo selling out this game is not a given.

    Reds vs. D-backs series thread

    The 2007 Mets of 2008 are three and a half games out after the road trip from hell. An unfamiliar opponent will make their annual visit and will be more than happy to extend the D-backs' misfortune. A sweep would get Arizona back to .500 . Well, it would :shrug:. Will Adam Dunn get back at his...

    I should be crying about Valverde getting traded ad nauseum, like what is being done with Quentin, but it's no use. Besides, who wouldn't want Chris Burke on their team in September? Hope y'all wore Right Guard.

    I'm not happy to say I called it 20 minutes ago. Send 'em all out on a one-way ferry to Alcatraz. Swept by LA and SF in the most important time of the year. 10 straight road losses. :bang: Well, maybe they'll score some runs this weekend, they didn't pack the bats on this trip! :thud:

    Shoulda been. Wow, did the strike zone shrink!

    Lyon, Slaten, Pena, Rauch, ehhhh, not exactly the best stable to pick from. Leave Lyon in there, it's his turn to screw up. I see the portly #48 and I'm reminded of Russ Ortiz. I see Ishikawa and #5 and I'm reminded of Tyoshi Shinjo.

    The Giants' closer is horrible! :) They still could lose the game. That's my expectation, that's what it has gotten to. I just sense a disastrous bottom of the 9th.

    There is no way that a batter should be out after a shortstop butches a ball like Ochoa did. Tracy, you lazy BUM. A 7-pitch inning for Romo, amazing.

    D-backs vs. Giants series thread

    They are trying too hard to get a Splash Hit. Now they have to get two scoreless innings out of Qualls and/or Slaten, Rauch or Lyon. Look at the D-backs dugout, it looks like a morgue. What a defeated uninspired bunch.

    Wow, J-Up pinch hit and got on base, which is probably where he will stay. Qualls is warming up now (scary, I am thinking like Melvin or vice versa).

    D-backs vs. Giants series thread

    Somehow, they are still in this game. I would choose B and put Qualls in to pitch the 7th. QUALLS? Have I lost my mind? How come option D) hand in your two-week notice to upper management out of shame isn't on there? :)

    D-backs vs. Giants series thread

    I refuse to go to ESPN boards. This game is awful. 99 pitches for Haren and he goes a whole four innings. He leaves allowing only two runs and it should have been more. More disturbing is that the D-backs can't get ANYTHING going off a pitcher with an ERA over 12!!! Grace and Sutton are...

    I see that a decent outing by Davis went right in the crapper, once again :mad:. When I turned the game on and it was 2-2, so I had the pleasure of watching Rauch pitch, en route to another loss. Why he didn't go with Cruz to start the ninth is beyo- oh, wait, it's the Mad Scientist. Another...

    They're back to being a team that you expect will do whatever it takes to lose. I wasn't expecting them to beat Lincecum, but at least make an effort to not embarrass yourselves, D-backs.

    Get pumped to see ex-Diamondbacks Nick Bierbrodt and Felix Jose when they ramble into town. That's the independent league that Rickey Henderson and Jose Canseco played in. Enjoy.

    LA finally lost. I'm always glad to see them lose. Tragic number is at 18, you know, combo of 18 LA wins and AZ losses and the D-backs are officially kaput. To rub a little more salt in the wound, the D-backs lost to the pitcher who should rightfully win the Cy Young award. Webb should not win...

    D-backs vs. Giants series thread

    The second-place D-backs will limp up the coast to San Francisco and hopefully find their winning ways up there, it worked for Arizona's football team. Mathematically, the D-backs are still alive, but the Dodgers' magic number is 19 and they have an easier schedule ahead and the Rockies are...

    D-backs vs Dodgers series thread

    Just prepare to hear the usual drivel when the D-backs screw up, especially when it is to an established media darling team like the Dodgers. The D-backs didn't show up until the waning innings of Saturday's game. Disasters like this are not acceptable. They COULD turn it back around, but do ya...
