Are we ready to back off the talk of Upton being the next Griffey Jr.?

 

[Lefty]

Those fans make me want to puke.

Isn't exciting to think we have Eric Byrnes wrapped up for awhile... sweet!

Yeah we get to see his ridiculous OF throws for as much as we want now! YES!

 

[az240zz]

but he was the guy before we signed him, The face of the franchise they said. How can we not sign him when we let Gonzo go. No one would go to the games unless we signed him.

And now what to we read. The bumm why did we sign him. Blah Blah Blah.

The Rockies are the bettar team this series. Hopefully we will be the bettar team next year.

Yeah that was bizarre logic at the time, made all the more apparent with his second half performance.

This move and getting Rnady Johnson were the 2 moves I've questioned most of this front office this past year...oh and signing Kim & Cirillo off of waivers too that didn't make a lot of sense to me either.

<---Moving on to the Suns now..

 

[Nasser22]

It's been a pretty nice cycle....Suns were awesome and then you know what happened in the playoffs, but then came the D-Backs giving us a surprise year, then they faltered and in that time the Mercury won a championship and the D-Backs picked it up again, sweeping the Cubs, the Cards also started off great and now after this...ASU is #8 in the BCS and the Suns are starting up again.

Did anyone expect this team to make it this far? I didn't, but it's kind of a disappointment watching them play like complete ass.

Nope, I thought they'd be in third in the NL west behind LA and San Diego...I was wrong on a lot of stuff when it came to baseball this season. About the only thing I got right was the Red Sox winning the AL East.

The D'backs had a great season, overachieving with a bunch of young players, a mediocre starting rotation (behind Webb) and a solid bullpen.

And a great playoff sweep vs. the Cubs.

And now the question will be . . . are we going to move to the next step next season or, like the Suns, put on an entertaining show each year and have our shortcomings show in the 2nd season?

Unfortunately, hinging our development on Bob Melvin running the team and Eric Byrnes leading the team is not a strong point.

Eric Byrnes is no Luis Gonzales. Luis led with maturity and fun. Byrnes, with immaturity and showboating.

Byrnes seems to have inhereted the Steve Finley syndrome -- swing for the fences every pitch, then look straight up to see how high his popup travelled.

That post was solid.

I agree with everything wasted fate just said. Nobody expected them to do anything, and though it is wicked disappointing that they're playing like crap in the LCS, it's still a great time to be a Dbacks fan.

But like Nash2Amare said, it's time for the Suns now.
