Opening Day is upon us! Dbacks vs. Rockies series thread

Oh god, they have that stupid mascot out there.

Denver.. Where the interstate system runs like it was mapped out by a bunch of kindergardeners, where the ideal night on the town is a trip to the nearest 7-11 and where they wish they could be Phoenix or Vegas, but where their only real selling point is a mountain and 300 days of sludge.

 

[Phxchris1989]

Good strikeout by Papa!

 

[Diamondback Jay]

Pfft, not me. I'm from Maryland (born and raised in Hagerstown) and you can put that crap state down as much as you want.

Hagerstown? Very nice, quaint little town. I used to always stop in Hagerstown to fill my car up with gas, eat and stretch when I'd do my monthly or bi-monthly trips to Baltimore to go watch Oriole games.

What states DO you Arizonan's like lol?

I like California. The only time I've been to Arizona we drove to California for 2 days. I liked it a lot. I liked Phoenix more which is why I plan to move there, but Calfornia was nice. We were somewhere in Orange County, called San Juan Capistrano Beach or something like that. California being within driving distance is one of the best parts about Phoenix to me. It seems like it would be a great weekend trip to go to the beach in California.

Oh, and for Inner Harbor? That's a whole different topic in it's own right.

Let's just say, back when I'd go to my mother's house in Central PA for the 6 week summers of hell, and my aunt and cousin would take me for a week or two down to Glen Burnie, I'd take several trips down to the Harbor and learned a fair bit about the finer points of life LOL.

Man is Valverde looking goooooood..

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

P.S. I hate pretty much every state in the east. I think the scenery is very plain and unattractive and the weather is terrible. My favorite states are all in the west and include Arizona, California, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, and Oregon (probably the most underrated state in the US, very beautiful)

lol, Arizona and...well Arizona. San Diego in August is a new state, seperate from California.

The main reason people from AZ hate Cali. is because that's where the Lakers play.

I like California. Too expensive to live in, but give me a weekend in Seal Beach or San Diego and you'll not get a complaint out of me. Same with Vegas.



And Valverde shuts the door.. Game.. Set.. Match!

 

[Linderbee]

Dbacks Win!!

 

[Phxchris1989]

In the words of Gracie: Te Amo Papa!!

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Well Valverde gets it done, D-Backs win 8-6!!!!

 

[Dback Jon]

Great way to start the season!!

 

[Linderbee]

What states DO you Arizonan's like lol?

Oregon, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia...parts of California. I'd love to see Montana sometime. Only state I really hate is Texas.

 

[Dback Jon]

Diamondbacks in FIRST!! O)

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

lol I see. I guess I can understand. I haven't actually been into LA but I think I will hate it when I go. My dad and I are planning a trip to SF and see a Giants and A's game then drive to LA and see a Dodgers game and I'm trying to talk him into drive to PHX for the D-Backs after LA but he keeps talking like it's going to take too long to do all of that.

I'm looking forward to seeing what LA is like, and I have a feeling that it will indeed be "Hell-A"

Montana is very nice. Gorgeous scenery.. The Big Sky is unreal. I'd never want to live there, too boring for my city boy taste, but if you're in to serenity, Montana's definitely got a lot to offer.

 

[Phxchris1989]

As for the state discussion, western states are way more scenic. Hagerstown has one true mountain, South Mountain, the rest are rolling hills. Arizona has majestic mountain ranges that rise from the desert floor, also Monument Valley.

I hear a lot of people hate Texas, and a lot (probably mainly natives) love it. I'm going to Dallas in 2 weeks and I'm looking forward to seeing how I will like it. I can't stand hill billys and red necks (and there are plenty of them here) so I probably won't care for it much. I just hope we can find Mavs playoff tickets because I want to see the American Airlines Center BAD.

I'd love to visit sometime. Anytime I go on a trip I always have to make it centered on seeing games so Montana is probably down on the list for me. I love mountains and other scenery though, so maybe it would be worth it. I just don't see how I would find anything to do because I'm like you, I like the city.

Always good to start the season 1-0 good win by the dbacks and great pitching by Valverde to get the save

Ugh. We completely disagree on that one. I find the eastern states to be so much more beautiful than most of the western states.

It's bad, traffic is everywhere. 7 lanes of traffic and it's a parking lot for 3 miles. Plus people are rude and arrogant as hell.

Weird, I was born in the East and I love the west.
