Dedicated to two people--one of whom is Eric Byrnes.
Beginning 6:30 pm MST 12/12/07
Eric Byrnes made his Cactus League debut in the Diamondbacks 7-5 loss to the Chicago White Sox today. He got a single in three at-bats, scored two runs, and stole a base. He was on base for Mark Reynolds’ 3-run homer. I couldn’t tell from the box score how he got on the other time […]
maybe no one on the other team will notice that I’m stealing this base. (hee-hee)
M. Spencer Green of AP has one of the greatest jobs in the world. He gets to be in warm, but not oppressively hot, Tucson in the spring, getting PAID to take pictures of Eric Byrnes.
Sigh! Some people have all the […]
Finally, the long, boring, drug-addled off-season is really, really over! Yeah, I know, the pitchers will go at most two innings. We’ll see faces and numbers that will disappear two or three weeks from now. And my player, Eric Byrnes, isn’t even starting today; he starts tomorrow. (That’s OK, I like Jeff […]
Here is the expected starting rotation:
Thursday - Micah Owings vs. Col
Friday - Brandon Webb vs. CWS
Saturday - Dan Haren vs. CWS
Sunday (split squad)
Doug David @ Tucson Electric Park vs. CWS
Edgar Gonzalez @ Hermosillo, Mexico vs. CWS
Mgr. Bob Melvin has not yet decided when Randy Johnson gets into the rotation.
The pitchers are scheduled to each go […]
Here’s an extended (40-minute) interview with Matt Scarborough, author of the baseball blog DIAMONDHACKS. Check it out at http://diamondhacks.blogspot.com/
In this interview, Matt, a Phoenix resident and “Diamondbacks fan since before there were Diamondbacks” talks about everything from ticket prices and ball park food to just how good a hitter Micah Ownings is.
Listen to […]

Finally, spring training camps are opening up. Diamondbacks’ pitchers and catchers report officially tomorrow, but you know that at least some of them, and some position players, are already in Tucson.
This dreary drug-addled off-season dominated by bizarre fingerpointing, confessions and excuses about steroids and HGH is coming to an end. Now back to the important […]
Spring training is right around the corner. Unfortunately for me, Tuscon Electric Park isn’t. I live in Oakland, CA, where Eric Byrnes once played, and can’t take time off work right now to go to games that won’t count anyway. (My calendar is marked for April 14, 15 and 16, when the Diamondbacks play three […]
Manager Bob Melvin has named 2007 set-up man Brandon Lyon as the closer for 2008, thus ending prospects of a spring training competition to succeed Jose Valverde, who was traded to the Houston Astros earlier this winter.
Lyon, 28, was the D’Backs closer in 2005 before an elbow injury landed him on the disabled list. Health […]
Outfielder’s improved plate discipline cause for big 2007
• MLB.com Fantasy homepage
Many fantasy fans prefer to stock their rosters full of players from their favorite team, as opposed to players who make a living playing for a feared rival. Wouldn’t you rather go through the season checking Eric Byrnes’ stats every night, instead of a player from […]
