The Skinny: If I was a gambling man, I would have bet my house that a pitching matchup between Arizona’s Dan Haren and Jake Peavy of the Padres would have resulted in a 1-0 or 2-1 game. Thank goodness I’m not much of a gambler. Instead it turned into a wild affair that stood at 4-3 after one inning. The Diamondbacks took advantage of 8 bases on balls en route to an 8-6 victory at ...

I can’t seem to shake this Anquan Boldin thing. You know about it. You might have heard on newsradio, or tv, or the newspaper, or the internet, or maybe your mother who doesn’t even pay attention to the NFL and says to you “Hey, what about Anquan Boldin?”, that he wants out of Arizona . He’s done. Thinks the organization is full of liars, especially coach ...

I started thinking today about the Phoenix pro sports scene, and the amount of star power here in the Valley. We have 2 NBA MVPs, 2 Cy Young Award winner, 3 NBA Rookies of the Year, an NFL and Super Bowl MVP and a Heisman trophy winner all who now call Phoenix home. Just from a resume’ standpoint, few cities around the country can stack up to that.
I further thought about what makes a ...

“We still have confidence in him,”
That’s what Bob Melvin said about the Diamondbacks closer, for the time being, Brandon Lyon. It’s a nice sentiment but it’s time for Melvin to start changing his tune.
Brandon Lyon’s early season roar has become nothing more than a whimper and Melvin has to do something about it. In a division that is as tight as the NL West ...

Our new fearless leader was a guest of Cardinals' coach Ken Whisenhunt yesterday at Cardinals training camp. Sounds like Ken had a nice little Tuesday lined up for he and Terry, as they had some lunch and Coach Porter was asked to stick around for workouts. According to Terry it's good to know other coaches in town as they have plenty in common: "Sometimes you just like to talk to (another ...

used to be on Spike TV (yes I know
there are people asking three things, what is Slamball, what does quasi mean and what is Spike TV?)? For the three of you who remember congratulations you made me ...
The Anquan Boldin situation seems to be at a standstill. Boldin continues to badmouth everyone in the Cardinals’ front office, and other employees who may have sat in on negotiation meetings. There is, however, no truth to the rumor that Boldin no longer talks to the guy who delivered sandwiches to said meeting–at least that’s what the delivery guy told profootballtalk.com. ...

The Diamondbacks almost blew a7-3 lead in the ninth inning last night against the Padres. Keyword: Almost. The final score was 7-6. But that was scary.
The Dodgers lost, so the D’backs are back to a game up in the NL Worst.
The Snakes are now 5 games over .500 (65-60). Their record would be good enough for 6th place in a unified league, which goes to show you the weakness of the ...

First off, before we get to today's brief injury update, make sure you listen to the interview from KLAC with Rudy that's posted below. I'm right with everyone about how Petros Papadakis (fat guy in red shirt) is a toolbag on FSN broadcasts and to an extent off the air as well (I twice spotted him wearing a Hello Kitty backpack in the press box), but I actually think he holds his own pretty ...

On Friday, Rudy Carpenter was on the Petros and Money Show on 570 AM KLAC in Los Angeles. Petros actually makes fun of Rudy for being pale. Has he seen Danny Sullivan? And as always, Petros has to build up SC, talking about Rey Maualuga's crushing hit from Thanksgiving. Dude, Petros, we all know you played fullback for USC, but that was during the Paul Hackett years when the team was a ...

The Skinny: Adam Dunn hit his first home run as a Diamondback, and Tony Pena bailed out Brandon Lyon in the 9th inning, as Arizona hung on to beat San Diego 7-6. The D-Backs jumped on San Diego starter Josh Banks early, putting up four runs in the first. Arizona added two more on Dunn’s blast in the 6th, and Conor Jackson’s rbi single gave the Snakes a 7-3 lead in the 7th. But ...

I was going to pen (I guess type is the better term here because I haven’t put pen to paper since college) yet another take on why the Anquan Boldin situation will distract the Cardinals, who is to blame (obviously Drew Rosenhaus) and how it could possibly send the Cardinals into another disappointing season but what’s the point. You’ve heard everyone blame everyone else ...

Hello, Goran
Goodbye, Gordan
Not that anyone's surprised about him not being a Sun, mind you, but Giricek followed the M-Train to Europe (that's "money"). It's kind of like Milton in Office Space . He was never officially fired, but the glitch seemed to work itself out.
NBA teams just aren't offering Shaq-sized buttloads of money anymore. Apparently, the Sp*rs took ...

Another day of NFL preseason, and there’s more bickering and disagreement coming out of Cardinals’ camp. Disgruntled wide receiver Anquan Boldin has reportedly reiterated a trade demand to Cardinals’ brass, who have told him he will not be traded.
Further reports indicate that the Cardinals’ last offer to Boldin was for roughly half of what Larry Fitzgerald ’s ...

Earlier today, I got the chance to catch up with Daniel Berk, the NAU beat writer for the Arizona Daily Sun and talk about some Lumberjacks football. I know it's tough to track down information about I-AA schools and opponents, so hopefully this Q&A will answer some questions you've got about what to expect from Northern Arizona come August 30.

It’s back to division play for the Arizona Diamondbacks, as they open a 6-game homestand with a 3-game series against the woeful San Diego Padres. And playing in the division is fine with Arizona. The Diamondbacks have gone 31-16 against teams in their division this season. If the NL West standings were based only on division record, the D-Backs would have a 7-game cushion over the ...

The Anquan Boldin drama is starting to heat up once again. A large
part of this is thanks to agent Drew Rosenhaus. Drew is shopping Anquan
and talking to teams about trades. It's a very common tactic that Drew
uses for all his clients. Hopefully it's not as bad as it seems and
hopefully the there's a reasonable way to resolve this. But things are
starting to get a bit more heated. Boldin ...
