MLB.TV: Free Market Gone Wrong
10/01/2008
Living steps from Chase Field and sitting snugly in my seat down the left field line, I observe and comment on the ability of the Dbacks to do what they have always done best - give me grey hairs. From the no-name 98 season, the Todd Pratt walk offs of 99, the Curt Schilling deal of 2000 that brought us a championship in 2001, the failure of a better team in 2002, and the injured collapse of 2003, a "rebuilding" BabyBacks year of 2004, a sub-.500 second place season of 2005, and a new Byrnsie Era ushered in with 2006, the Phoenix re-birth of a franchise in 2007 under new colors and new players...here we are at 2008. The best pitching staff this team has ever seen along with hype through the roof at every position. This smells like the year.
Greetings Glenn-
Here we are, almost time for spring training to begin again. Wanted to see if you are still hanging out in these parts and what your takes are on the current state of the Dodgers and DBacks.
Look forward to seeing your thoughts soon.

Hey Glenn—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.
I've been spending time on our Diamondbacks page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.
Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?
If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.
Thanks so much,
Dave Mo

Glenn -
Wanted to let you know I've been tapped as a new community leader for the Los Angeles Dodgers. With the magic number down to 3, I'm contacting the members to ask them to consider who they would want in the starting rotation as well as filling out the bullpen.
Also, who would you want from among the fielders to fill out the bench. Should Maddux and Sweeney be included? What about Troncoso and Hu?
As a fan of both the D-Backs as well as the Dodgers, you will have some unique perspectives. I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Hey, Glenn! I am a new Dbacks fan, and I am trying to revamp the Arizona section here on Bleacher Report and get some active contributers. I will be writing Dbacks articles and I hope to see your comments! I also hope you can find the time to write articles like you have been!
Have fun on the site!
(PS- bad loss tonight...)
