Out Of Our Misery: The 2008 Dbacks

162 games later, what started out as a very promising and very dominant season has turned into one of regret. The players have failed, the management has failed, the front office has failed and really, so too have the fans...

Fan Conduct: An Open Forum

Over the years, baseball parks have become more kid-friendly. Smoking bans, alcohol-free sections, and codes of conduct shield families and more sensitive fans from the once typical bleacher-creature behavior...

Tony Clark Returns Home to the Arizona Diamondbacks

In what appears to be a sign that Connor Jackson will be the permanent left fielder for the Dbacks, they have made a trade for Tony Clark...

National League All-Burnout Team

We've spent months poking chads as we've sat and watched our teams struggle to stay above .500. It seems so few teams have really stood out this year, especially in the NL, where the Cubs appear ...

Arizona Diamondbacks: Can They Trade Orlando Hudson?

It has been a long time since the D'backs had a decent winning streak. In fact, April seems like a year ago to the Arizona fans. Fans are begging for some dramatic changes to kick the D'backs back into the high gear that was running so many months ago...

I Know You Have a Silver Slugger, But Come On.

So the Dbacks made it through the first half of this week's interleague play with only a few battle scars. Losing to the Royals was bad, admittedly, as was the drubbing from Oakland on Tuesday night...

Oh Byrnsie, Where Have You Gone?

10 days ago, it seemed like sending Eric Byrnes to the DL would be the cure that the team needed. Now, without him, the team has only won two games. At the earliest, Byrnsie won't be back until June 11th in New York...

Going Into Pittsburgh, We Hold Our Collective Breaths

After a painfully ugly drubbing at the hands of the Brewers, the D'backs boarded a plane and left Cheese Country for the Steel City. They've lost 12 of their last 16. They are 11-16 on the road and 3-9 against the NL Central...

MLB Naming Rights: Bullying the Kids

Bud Selig got a taste of MLB's mafia tactics when he stole the Pilots from Seattle. Then he allowed Jeff Loria to ruin two teams and alienate two cities' worth of fans. Now, he is going after the kids.

Mike Piazza: A Hall of Famer Both On the Field and Off

I was all of six-years old when Mike Piazza was drafted in the 62nd round of the 1988 amateur draft. No one knew who he was or what he would become, and I was not unique. 1988 would be the year that I became a Dodger fan for life...

MLB: Technology is Not the Answer

Those in New York may have felt a little sickened when Alex Rodriguez's second home run was taken away from him this past week. They may have cried and complained. Actually, I know they did. I used to live in New York, and I know just how they are...

Arizona Diamondbacks: Eric Byrnes' Slump Is Over!

At the risk of jinxing the whole thing, I have to say it... The Slump Has Ended! Eric Byrnes, after sitting out an entire game on Thursday night, came into the lineup hitting in the seven hole...

There, Arizona, I Said It: I Hate 90 Percent of Diamondbacks Fans

Dear Diamondback Fans (you know who you are), This has been a long time coming. I've tried to put up with you for 10 years in hopes that you would get better, but you haven't. There was a time that I remember how excited you were...

Nothing to See Here: Four Errors Threaten to Derail Webb's Run

Brandon Webb has been brilliant. He has gotten wonderful run support and usually is backed up by a sharp defense. His sinker has been working better than usual, and his changeup has brought nightmares to opposing NL West hitters...

D-Backs and the Economy of Children: A Solution to Please Everyone

Times are hard in Arizona. Those who moved here in the last five years are most likely watching their houses be sold for pennies-on-the-dollar at auction...

Mr. Byrnes, I Have Reality On The Phone, He'd Like To Have A Chat

This is hard for me. I'm a big fan of Eric's. I really am. But some things are going to need to change around here otherwise, I'm going to have to move on...

Bob Melvin, Please Return Your Manager of the Year Award to Mr. Selig, Thank You

A day after watching the Arizona Diamondbacks lose just their fifth game all year, the news is abuzz with reports of Randy Johnson's terrible performance. In what should have been a 5-inning, 90-pitch start turned into a 5...

San Diego Padres: We Know You Were Up Till 2AM but You've Got a Plane to Catch

The Padres are probably waking up some time about now, after getting 4 hours of sleep, and heading to the airport. They will sleep at the airport, sleep on the plane, and probably forgo early morning workouts in favor of more rest...

Arizona Diamondbacks: Waiting for Reality

The Arizona Diamondbacks keep on waiting... Just 15 games into the season, with less than 10 percent of the season completed, the Diamondbacks appear to be the team to beat in the National League...

L.A. Dodgers: Welcome to the Frank McCourt Brand of Baseball

Moving 115,300 people into a stadium is a task usually left to the National Guard and not a baseball team but on Saturday March 29th, Frank McCourt attempted to do it. Did it go smoothly? Sometimes yes, sometimes no...

Today's 30-Second Read: Five Places to Spend Your Stimulus Check

1. Fly to Boston and watch the Red Sox in Fenway. You've never experienced baseball quite like this. Should be less than $250 per person to fly there in June and the ticket to the game can run as cheap as $35 each from Stubhub...
