I can see why this is only the 8th post in this thread, and 4 of the others are about a dude just trying to get laid (and away from a roommate with zero boundaries).
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Tonight the DBacks let a relief pitcher hit with two outs and the bases loaded in a 2-2 game.

He watched three strikes go by to end the inning.

He then went out in the next half inning and gave up six runs.

Which begs the question… are they tanking so that mobbed up betting rings can rake in some dough?

I think a more plausible explanation is the UofA President and AD got involved.

Happy for Escobar making his first All-Star game. One of the only players playing halfway decent.

I think they are trying to be mathematically eliminated before the All-Star break.

The most amazing play at a Diamondbacks game all year, maybe all time. This grab is so crazy it has to be fake.

I still give my son a hard time for when he prevented me from getting to a Reggie Sanders homer in the left field bleachers by grabbing my shirt when he was about 5 or 6. I see now I was not giving it my best effort.

Wish the Dodgers could save some of those runs for the Giants and Padres.

Guess there was no draft when Sandy Koufax came into professional baseball.

Shawn Green not considered "orthodox"? He sat out a game for Yom Kippur once.

Last Friday's Diamondbacks game is the first live sporting event I've attended since before the pandemic broke out. Cubs in town over the weekend. They outnumbered the Diamondbacks fans and definitely provided a beer-bellied "midwest" look to the whole atmosphere. What *does* look good is how well Chase Field is aging. Still looks new and state of the art. Much better looking than some of the newer parks out there, such as the Washington Nationals' and Citi Field where the Mets play in Queens.

And thanks to the Orioles, they aren't the worst team in baseball. Woo hoo!

The Diamondbacks are the cheapest and stupidest run program in fucking sports. Winning that game and reading this quote from Lovullo made me physically ill. Your team lost 110 games and you're bragging about not having the #1 pick? Moron.

Did Robbins and Heeke get involved with Lovullo?

Even if they got the number 1 overall pick they would probably pull another Shelby Miller trade.
