I’ve been trying a lot of new and trendy cigars lately so I wanted to try something old and discontinued for a change.

Another deadline deal, but we finally came to terms with our first-round pick, according to the Republic:

The Dbacks, according to azcentral.com, have come to terms with the number 9 pick in the 2006 Amateur draft. The Scott Boras client and the Diamondbacks came to terms on what is being reported as a $4 Million deal similar to that signed by Craig Hasen last year with the Boston Red Sox.
Scherzer had pitched […]

As the Arizona Diamondbacks prepared to leave the friendly confines of Chase Field with their 4-game sweep of the struggling Houston Astros my exuberance for the victory was tempered by the fact that the schedule for the next couple of weeks did not look to favor the team. They would be making their northeastern swing meaning 3 games with the suddenly hot Philadelphia Phillies followed by a 3 game set with the National League East leading New York Mets. This coupled with an upcoming home stand with the rival San Francisco Giants and an inter-league series with the Boston Red Sox could mean a dramatic swing in the loss column for a young team. I was holding out hope that the Diamondbacks could at least come home with a winning record on the road trip or at worst a record close to winning. Each game though it seems like my confidence and that of the teams is starting to swell. I have absolutely no logical explanation for how the Diamondbacks have been able to shift offensive gears over these past 7 games.

The changes begin.  Marc Iavaroni, probably more of a part of the Suns’ success over the past few years than we realize, is leaving the Suns to coach the Grizzlies.  I’m excited for him.  I think he’ll make an awesome coach.  I’m sad for us and for the Suns.  He has done a lot for […]

Randy Johnson, LHP (2-2, 4.54)

Jamie Moyer, LHP (5-3, 4.18)

It’s Jurassic Park 3 today - for the third time this season, a new record will be set for the oldest lefty pitching match-up in baseball history. Last time out, the Phillies began the game by whiffing six straight times against Johnson, so I imagine they won’t be looking forward to this. That was the infamous game where Medders’ first pitch was dispatched for a game-losing grand-slam - after last night, our reliever is already on this ice. Any repeat performance could lead to Medders being left on the tarmac at the airport.

Our offense has really kicked it up of late, and as noted, we have, very quietly, positioned ourselves nicely. If the season were to end today, we’d be in the Wild Card spot, and facing the Mets in the first round of the playoffs. So maybe the weekend series will be a precursor of things to come…

Gotta love this one. When I first saw the link I was actually trying to figure out why I hadn’t seen it yet. Then I realized that the NBA is not that smart. Just look at what Stern did to the Suns! Enjoy…

According to ESPN, Kobe Bryant wants to be traded.  And you know what I say?  You made your bed, now lie in it (or is it lay?).  He’s the one who signed the contract with the Lakers.  And no matter what he says, he had to have had a hand in trading […]
