Am I the only one? I hope I'm not the only one thats screaming at my television because the giants have the d'backs number this year.

I like the Diamondbacks, mostly because after the Cubs threw their most dedicated, self-less player ever in the gutter, the Diamondbacks quickly signed him and got him a ring. I hope the Cubs never win a World Series again.

i like 'em or at least their 2 bombshell pitchers. (schilling and johnson)

those dudes are freakin AWESOME

yeah schilling and johnson are the best of the best. even though they have been on the DL most of the year. they both recently came back but they don't appear to be back at 100% yet. at least johnson isn't yet anyway.

once again the giants pounded the Dbacks earlier today.

*sigh* i think hillenbrand needs to use 2 gloves.

When you asked that question, "Are there any D'Backs fans out there," I think I heard an echo.

I heard Crickets, but that is not why I am posting.

Been to a couple of games at the BOB. Does anyone know where I can get the music that they play then they open the roof? It is a great tune. What is the name of it etc.?

Second, this is not a scientific study and this is not all of them, but I got the impression that Arizona fans had the lowest baseball IQ of any fans I have seen so far. I am sure there are pockets of fans who understand the game, but most of them may have had their brains fried by the sun or something.

I am interested in the second half of Arizona.

Here is a team that can easily clinch the wildcard or easily fall out of the race.

They've had lots of injuries (middle infield, third base, pitching). Some players (Spivey, namely) have not played to expectations. I would not be surprised to see this team make a run.

But remember, this team is in salary hell. They can't afford to buy anything - so creative trades are needed.

As an Arizona fan, LaZy, you should celebrate what kind of team you have now. This team may be holding a Pittsburgh Pirates type auction by this time next year. Hope you like Cintron and Kata a whole bunch.
