Diamondbacks pick up 2010 option on Jon Rauch

Diamondbacks pick up 2010 option on Jon Rauch

Here’s hoping he impresses us more in 2009, so we aren’t dreading this next off-season…

Edit: Updated to a better article.

Here’s the full audio of Nash, Amare and Bell talking about the home opener loss.

  • This point has been made elsewhere on these digital pages - but who comes to the home opener without sufficient “energy”. I just hope some heads are going to roll over that
  • And since TNT decided I needed to watch 10 minutes worth of the final 40 seconds of the Rox / Mavs games - can someone please tell me who to point the finger at? Who exactly of our five starters came out of the huddle not ready to play?
  • As Bell mentiones - I can live with the Hornets hitting some great shots. They are going to do that (especially to us it seems) and I get we are a “work in progress” but seriously - are we really talking about lack of effort in game two. I might just need to move to New York!
  • Has anyone else noticed that Amar’e (that is in fact the new and proper spelling) seems to have gone to PR school. He’s becoming a 75% shooting, dunk monster, cliche machine. Thankfully, he didn’t go to the Shaq school of Foot in Mouth
  • Here’s also a link to the Sun’s locker room quotes

This is what it is all about. How about some applause for University of Cincinnati Wide Receiver Marty Gilyard in last night’s game against South Florida. Talk about class. This young man was attempting to catch a touchdown pass and accidentally had his momentum carry into the stands only to run over […]

Vintage baseball teams to face off in Sun City West

Vintage baseball teams to face off in Sun City West

“Four vintage baseball teams will face off in Sun City West Sunday for the Arizona Territories Vintage Base Ball League’s season-opening doubleheader. Clubs in the league wear vintage uniforms and use baseball rules and vocabulary from the late 1800s. “We want everyone to come out,” said league Commissioner John Tenney.”

Opening day is Sunday, November 2, and the first game of the double header is at 12:30.

We heard the echoes. The writing was on the wall.”We need our Saturday viewing guide back!”The last few weeks have been so chock full of good football that I felt it rendered the college football junkies TV Guide useless. If you couldn’t figure out whi…

With the Arizona Cardinals preparing to take on the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, there’s been a lot of speculation and conjecture on who will be the starting running back for the Cardinals this week and for the rest of the season. Will it be the unhappy Edgerrin James, who will move into the […]

After dropping three straight games and a long layoff the Coyotes were in dire need of a victory at home Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The teams stars answered the call as Olli Jokinen and Shane Doan led the way scoring a combine 3 goals, 2 for Doan 1 for Jokinen, in the Coyotes […]

Two games in 24 hours in two different time zones with two different results. One night after knocking off the San Antonio Spurs in Texas to open the 2008-09 season, the Phoenix Suns got pushed around on their home floor by the New Orleans Hornets in a 108-95 loss.
Morris Peterson led the […]

Happy Halloween!

Here’s my costume. Anyone else?

“We didn’t have juice to being with,” Suns coach Terry Porter said. “We really didn’t.”
