The Skinny: The theme is becoming all to familiar. The Diamondbacks’ offense struggles, and the bullpen blows a lead. Well, guess what happened in San Diego on Wednesday? Yep, Randy Johnson pitched 7 strong innings, only to see Chad Qualls allow two runs in the 8th inning, and the Diamondbacks lost […]

You have to start to wonder if Randy Johnson will ever get to 300 wins. He’s not really receiving much support from his teammates lately either. More evidence of that was Wednesday in San Diego, when Johnson left after 7 innings with a 4-3 lead. Chad Qualls came in and gave up […]

In the last week, we’ve basically seen the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers basically demonstrate that they don’t really want to win the National League West. The Diamondbacks have lost 4 out of their last 5 to the Marlins and Padres, and the Dodgers, well they have completely forgotten how to win. […]

The Skinny: The San Diego Padres, a team not known for their offensive firepower, flexed their muscles Tuesday night against the frontrunner for the National League Cy Young Award. Highlighted by Brian Giles 3-run homer, the Padres scored 5 runs in the 3rd inning against Diamondbacks starter Brandon Webb in a 9-2 win at […]

If there’s such a thing as a big preseason game in the NFL, Saturday was it for Matt Leinart. With a chance to firmly grasp the starting quarterback job for the Arizona Cardinals, Leinart didn’t deliver.
He completed just four of 12 passes, threw three interceptions, and registered a quarterback rating of 2.8. […]

The Skinny: Diamondback killer Jody Gerut jacked a two-run homer off of Diamondbacks’ reliever Jon Rauch in the bottom of the 9th inning, giving the San Diego Padres a 4-2 win in the opening game of a 3-game series at Petco Park. Rauch got into trouble with two outs in the inning, when Luis […]

The Phoenix Suns on Monday dealt second-year guard D.J. Strawberry to the Houston Rockets in exchange for rookie guard Sean Singletary.
Strawberry played in 33 games as a rookie, averaging 2.2 points per game. He did show the ability to play solid perimeter defense, but the Suns apparently weren’t happy with Strawberry’s failure […]

Just when you think things couldn’t get worse for the San Diego Padres, they enter a 3-game series tonight with the Diamondbacks having lost 7 in a row, including a 3-game sweep at the hands of the highly mediocre San Francisco Giants. The Diamondbacks also got a sweep against the Padres last week, taking […]

The Skinny: Marlins’ starter Ricky Nolasco allowed only 3 hits and struck out 10 in 7 1/3 innings, and added an rbi double in the 2nd inning in Florida’s 5-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday at Chase Field. Josh Willingham also went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 rbis as […]

Tim Hightower and J.J. Arrington each ran for 3rd quarter touchdowns, and the Arizona Cardinals shook off a sloppy first half in a 24-0 preseason win over the Oakland Raiders at McAfee Coliseum. The Cardinals led only 3-0 at halftime on a 24-yard field goal by Neil Rackers in the first quarter.
Hightower capped a […]
