    Saints apparently had bounties out on opposing players

    What if Sean Payton's injury this season was in response to rumors of this kind of stuff going on? I know it seems far fetched, but if I were an opposing player and I heard about this, I'd be tempted to go straight for the source.

    Yahoo playoff capsules/predictions

    Furthermore, in their 27-5 stretch from July 26th through August 28th, they compiled the following records against their opponents: Pirates: 5-2 Cubs: 6-0 Astros: 6-0 Cardinals: 4-2 Dodgers: 3-1 Mets: 3-0 So, they went 20-2 against teams losing teams in that stretch and 7-3...

    Yahoo playoff capsules/predictions

    Ah, a bunch of people that think they're doing research because they notice Milwaukee's glittering home record and feel they don't have to look any further. Of course, if they just did a little more research they'd realize that: A) The Brewers played a whopping 64 games against teams with 90 or...

    Magic Number Countdown

    Guys, calm down. The team is not "slowing down" - they lost two in a row (after an 18-3 run) including one to the best pitcher in the league. If the Giants climb to within 3, then you can panic.

    Parra & Grace & Kershaw

    I'm pretty sure that he didn't hit Parra the first time because he was pitching a perfect game at the time. Granted, it was only in the 3rd inning, but Kershaw has "perfect game stuff"* so it's not out of the realm of possibility that he could toss one. How would it look if he plunked him there...

    Kelly Johnson Traded

    Except that he was a worse hitter on the road than at home the last two years.

    End of August Home Stand

    No need to catch Atlanta. As the wild card, they automatically get the 4th seed, and, if they win the division, the D-backs would get home field over them regardless of record. That being said, catching Milwaukee would be HUGE. Difference between opening on the road in Philly versus Halladay...

    End of August Home Stand

    7 of those wins came against the Phillies (3 game sweep in the division series) and the Diamondbacks (4 game sweep in the NLCS). Plus they won one at the end of regular season that was a one-game playoff that counted towards the regular season. So, in reality, they won 13 of their last 14...

    The Road Trip from Hell

    The guy that hit Upton and got thrown out of the game the last time the D-backs faced the Nationals is now on the D-backs. Well, their disabled list. Not that I disagree with your point. I just find it ironic.

    2011 Diamondbacks Thread

    I think you're over-simplifying things. One, a sacrifice fly is not "the easiest play in baseball". It's a fly ball that has to be hit fairly deep - not exactly an easy thing to do, especially when the pitcher knows you're trying to do it. Two, did you miss the part about the Braves...

    Tall Tales of Paul Goldschmidt

    That's not really a platoon. That's a backup catcher that starts every once in a while (usually once a week), to give the starting catcher a rest from the physical demands of the position. Gibson just times it with the lefty starter for better matchups. Montero actually has more plate...

    Tall Tales of Paul Goldschmidt

    How exactly do the Diamondbacks have a platoon at catcher?

    2011 Diamondbacks Thread

    D-backs are 3-3 against the Dodgers at home. And there's still three more games to play at the end of the year.

    Justin Upton is a huge disappointment!

    Let me see if I got this straight...a player can't throw a tantrum because that is immature, but he also can't look casual in the dugout because that shows he doesn't care? So, what should Upton have done? BTW, the second play was a fly ball, not a hit.

    DBacks need an impact hitter

    Hey guys, I read a lot, but don't post very often. I have to say that this thread is pretty ridiculous. Currently, the D-backs are third in the NL in runs scored, behind only Cincinnati and St. Louis. Only four teams (Cincy and St. Louis, oddly, the pathetic Cubs and the pathetic Astros) have...

    The two players who control this season

    Ryan, I know I don't post here much, so I don't want to come across as picking a fight, but I'd really like you to prove that Mark Reynolds will increase the run output of the team by striking out 35-50 less times. Mark Reynolds' focus should be on getting on base more, not on the...

    Jake Plummer Is Watching The Cards

    Want to know why you don't get respect?

    Combined 2-6 in the last four weeks of the season, when the Eagles beat them both. Of course, they played each other then, so we'll say 1-5. Two of those losses were against the Eagles, I'll give you credit for that. Not the Redskins.

    Want to know why you don't get respect?

    How many games do I want not to count? 0 All the games count. And it doesn't matter if six of those wins came against "the crappiest division in the game." I'm just pointing out that the Eagles may have played in a tougher division, but they feasted on weaker opponents.

    Want to know why you don't get respect?

    You went 2-4 in the division, with both wins coming against watered down versions of the Giants and Cowboys.

    Want to know why you don't get respect?

    The only way they could have improved their seed was by going from 4th seed to 3rd seed. And that only matters if the 3rd and 4th meet up in the NFC Championship game. Following the Giants game, the team was 7-4, but had already lost to both Carolina and New York. Had they won the rest of...

    Want to know why you don't get respect?

    Not really, because as I said earlier, your 5-6-1 also includes games against the Browns and Bengals -- two 4 win teams who each won a game against each other. And the Eagles didn't even beat both of them.

    Want to know why you don't get respect?

    To take it even further...remove the Bengals and Browns game, as the two teams combined for 8 wins -- 2 of which came against each other, and the Eagles were 4-6. Take the division out, the Cardinals are 3-7. Take the division and two other crappy teams out, the Eagles are 4-6. (Of...
