Jim will then print and send off to DD via the front office. I'll go first: Best wishes for a speedy recovery DD. Your efforts ...
First, a quick glance back at last week's
installment, where we cast the runes and looked at
the outfield. It seems that we're going to have a speedy trio, with all three projected to steal 20 bases or more. That'd be impressive - last year was the ...

Something of a curveball, in the news that
Arizona have made an offer to Japanese pitcher Hiroki
Kuroda . Seattle appear to be the front runners - the Ichiro factor again, in no small part - and my colleague at Lookout Landing has already written ...
Even statistical analysis would have shown that "something"
big happened in the Diamondbacks world yesterday. Here are
the numbers of visitors to the site this week: Monday: 311 Tuesday: 294 Wednesday: 309 Thursday: 366 [small Mitchell Report ...
Over on Purple Row , RoxGirl gets out
the telescope and gazes a very, very long way
into the future , and concludes, "It's fairly clear that Colorado is moving further ahead of Arizona in the years after 2009 and the gap gets wider as you go along." ...
Record: 20-9. Pace: 112-50. Change on last season:
+4 It certainly looks like the shine has gone
off the start of the season for our offense. Over the past ten games, they have a collective line of .238/.311/.394. While they're still averaging ...
Welcome back to Arizona, Randy. We know you
liked it here: four Cy Youngs, a World Series
ring and co-MVP, a record of 103-49, and that miniscule 2.65 ERA in almost 1,400 innings of work, with 1832 K's. Though you left in a bit of a huff, who can...
Oh, it's good to be back I'm now
hoarse, enjoying the tingly feeling of mild sun-burn, slightly
hungover and facing the prospect of working the next six days, to make up for the day off. But was it worth it? Hell, yes. I even enjoyed the...

Phew. Dodged a bullet there. Initially, it seemed
that Game Two of the National League Championship Series
was going to start at 1pm. Having already bought tickets for that, and having to work that day, I was thrown into panic-mode by this rumor. And ...

The 2007 baseball season is over for the
Arizona Diamondbacks. Not, perhaps, the way we wanted it
to a week ago, but I think most of us would agree that it has surpassed expectations. 90 wins; a division title; our first playoff series win since ...

Baseball in November. It's simply un-natural. Fortunately, the
World Series didn't stretch past Halloween, but here in
Arizona, we're lucky enough to get two months of bonus baseball every year. As well as Spring Training in March, where half of ...
The second in an ongoing series of "Things
to amuse you while the baseball season is over."
This is the South Park Character Generator, which allows you to make a character in the style of that infamous series, that resembles you...your ...
Thanks to em3 for the heads-up on this,
which deserves its own story, I think. MetsBlog.com is
reporting that Carlos Quentin has been traded to the White Sox for first-baseman Chris Carter. First though: no, it's not that Chris Carter. It's this ...
The battle's done, and we kinda won. So
we sound our victory cheer. Where do we go
from here? Why is the path unclear, When we know home is near. Understand we'll go hand in hand, But we'll walk alone in fear. (Tell me) Tell me where do we go ...
Arizona at a state has produced a number
of significant ballplayers. For example, Barry Bonds, who graduated
