It’s Time For A Garage Sale!

— dbacksvenom.com — “This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the... ball.” These words of wisdom from Bull Durham have been all missed by the Arizona Diamondbacks this season. There is no mystery why the Diamondbacks are 16 games below .500 (30-46), with only 5 games ... (more) It’s Time For A Garage Sale!

Speed Read: Mo Saves #500 As Mets Melt Again
SPORTSbyBROOKS — ... Speaking of fail, a little league game broke out in Arizona yesterday when the D-Backs hosted the Angels. Not only did Gary Matthews pull of a straight steal of home (which the media apparently thinks isn’t as “scrappy” as Jacoby Ellsbury doing it), but Arizona’s defense in the top of the fifth inning would’ve shamed ...

It stinks in the desert, and it is only getting worse
Purple Row — ... Wait what...? 76 games into the season and they're already waiving the white towel?  Well yes.  Or at least they're close.  That Piecoro article was posted before the Diamondbacks lost five straight last week.  They are inventing new ways of "epic failure."  They're 18 games out of first in the West but just 6.5 games out of first place in the Bryce Harper race and none of the three teams behind them are convincing cases of falling completely apart.  ...

Might these sorry looking snakes sport hidden venom?
Purple Row — ... The Diamondbacks commit a lot of errors.  Their 71 miscues rank 2nd to Washington, and by a large margin - 3rd place Florida lags by 12.  Their fielding percentage ranks 2nd to the Nats in futility as well, so on the surface, their defense looks downright terrible.  However, they have a +2.9 UZR for solid range.  Conor Jackson's poor defense in LF has been replaced, and Fangraphs lists their ...

Cheer Up! Things Could be Much, Much Worse!
"MyTeamRivals" via MyTeamRivals.com in Google Reader — ... 77 errors this season, the second-most in baseball (only the Nats have committed more).  Granted, errors and fielding percentage aren't exactly the best way to measure a team's defensive efficiency, but I think if you commit three errors in one inning, it's safe to assume that you are, in fact, not good at baseball. ...
