D-backs' future is stuck in the past

[WizardOfAz]

Oh, be forgiving, let's go living in the past.

If you recognize that old Jethro Tull lyric, you probably know the original Jethro Tull was an 18th century agriculturalist credited with inventing the seed drill. Talk about living in the past.

Which brings us to the Arizona Diamondbacks. If you think the Rockies are a little long in the tooth, get a load of these guys.

[Gee!]

This guy is a typical Denver sports writer. They proclaim whatever team it is (Rockies,Nuggets,Avs,Broncos), are gonna win it all every time a new season starts. And they constantly bash Phoenix, saying we wanna be like Denver. In fact once we got our tunnel and had the park over it, Denver was making plans to do the same thing. How do I know this? I lived in Denver for a year and a half. I think it's funny he talks smack about the DBacks and raves about the Rockies, but never address' the fact that Coors Field is a hitters paradise, and no one predicts they will have any top notch pitchers any time soon. It's funny bcuz at the beginning of the article, he made every effort to talk about how pitching wins games, and Brenley was avoiding the question. How come he never answered the pitching questions of the Rockies?


What a B - I - itch!

Me thinks this guy puts too much emphasis on spring training. What I notice he fails to mention other teams 4th and 5th starter and the fact we have decent young relievers.

I do give him credit in pointing out that our outfield sucks with no future help.

Denver may be jelous of Phoenix for a lot of things, but clearly Denver is a much better sports town than is Phoenix.
