    Peter Gammons on Sportscenter

    Gawd, Gammons hasn't a shred of credibility when it comes to anything related to the Red Sox. He is nothing more than a shill for Red Sox management, creating whispers about players going to the Red Sox, or being ready to sign with them. He has his nose so far up the Red Sox butt, that...

    Stephen Drew Thread

    Stephen would appear to take after his brother J.D. in that regard.

    Ortiz on the 15-day DL

    I swear that fans could make a lot better decision that teams sometimes about who to put on the roster and who to play.

    Gonzo hit career homer # 300 today. Congrats to him. (helps my fantasy team, too)

    Red Sox have offered the Diamondbacks 3 players for Conor Jackson

    Ha! Ha! D-Backs should send this guy a gift.

    Diamondbacks vs Phillies series thread

    An interesting statistic is that the D-Backs have scored 242 runs and allowed 278. That's allowing 36 more runs than they have scored. Only Kansas City, Cincinnati and Colorado have allowed more runs scored. With that big a difference between runs scored and runs allowed, the expected record...

    Diamondbacks vs Phillies series thread

    Vicente Padilla has pitched badly this year. He was hurt a lot of last year and is either still hurt or can't get his mechanics back. His heavy moving sinker isn't sinking much. Randy Wolf also was hurt last year. He pitched badly in April but has rebounded to a nice 3.20 ERA in May. He has...

    What is the future for Chad Tracy?

    You don't want to trade a young corner infielder for bullpen help. Argh. Tracy doesn't really have enough home runs to play first. Third is better if he can play it.

    Interesting Article

    While the team might sale off a veteran like Gonzo or one on a single year contract like Clayton or Estes, there is no way they would trade players that they just signed to multi-year deals like Glaus or Green or Ortiz. They could trade Vazquez because he has the right to demand a trade or...

    Brandon Lyon on the DL

    The ubiqutous elbow tendonitis. Could be a short DL stint while inflammation goes down, could the the start of problems off and on all year. Could be Tommy John, unless he already had it.

    Future CF

    I said at the time I didn't understand the extension. One year til Carlos was ready was good enough. Shawn Green's numbers this year are NOT pretty. A .690 OPS for a corner outfielder is ugly. .248/.307/.383/.690

    Diamondbacks vs Pirates series thread

    I'll trade you Tim Worrell for Koppy. He lives in Arizona and went home for personal reasons (rumor has it the wife heard he has a chick on the side here). Watched the game last night as I get Fox Pittsburgh. I had forgotten how agonizing it is to watch Russ Ortiz pitch. Just think you have 4...

    Yankee fans have given up. This makes me kind of sad

    Gawd, if they were Phillies phans like myself, they'd have a lot to whine about. We are fans of officially the losingest team ever in the history of all pro sports with 1 championship in 130 years or so. Cry me a river.

    Stephen Drew debuted yesterday for the Camden Riversharks. Here is an article on it. He says the D-Backs guaranteed a $9.5 mil.

    Curt Schilling's Guide to the Galaxy

    Curt's ego and mouth have (unbelievably) gotten bigger since he went to Boston. Personally, I'd whack him over the head for a humility lesson if it would work. Admittedly he never lacked in ego in the past, but great pitchers have big egos. He's forgotten that, when it's all said and done...

    Is it bye bye Joe Jr?

    That was my first thought. She's the charter member of the Joe Puke Must Go fan club.

    Diamondbacks vs Padres series thread

    If Melvin would just put Clayton 8th in the order, I'd probably handle it better. I really want to see Cintron this year, though. He had one great year with errors and one lousy year with errors. I give everyone on the team a mulligan for last year. It's impossible to be excellent (other than...

    Dbacks/Nationals Series Thread

    Start the year with Patterson. He didn't need to be moved in early spring training because of a lack of a roster spot. Usually at least one pitcher starts the year on the DL. Last year it was Shane Reynolds. So Patterson could have stayed on the roster. He was only in danger of being lost in Joe...

    Dbacks/Nationals Series Thread

    I considered the trade of Patterson for Randy Choate to be one of the stupider moves made by Joe Jr. If he hadn't traded JPatt, he could have used him instead of Caisey Daigle to start the year. One pitcher is always injured to start the season. Book it. There was no need to trade him, and...

    Curt does a job on the D'backs.

    I wouldn't say Arizona resurrected either career. Geez, Randy had a couple of Cy Youngs before he came to Arizona. Curt was an all-star for 3 straight years before he was traded to Arizona. Just nobody knew of him because he was on a crummy team. But in any event, Curt opens mouth, speaks...

    With a dependable Closer, we'd be 4-1, not 2-3

    Everyone is having early relief pitching problems - closers, set-up, you name it. It's not uncommon the first week of the season. Phillies lost 3 straight games with leads blown in the 8th inning this week - so I feel the pain.

    MLB Steroid Melodrama

    Oh come on Homer, you know it's getting an unfair advantage by doing something that others cannot do and still be law abiding citizens. Barry Bonds didn't go to Mexico to get his steroids he went around the corner to Balco and took them in the United States when they were prohibited...

    MLB Team values

    Interesting break down of team values, revenues, income and debt last year. The D-Backs debt is greater than the value of their team. Ouch.
