UNTIL OPENING DAY!

Dedicated to two people--one of whom is Eric Byrnes.
Beginning 6:30 pm MST 12/12/07
Nothing like being able to watch Opening Day. I don’t work at KPFA on Mondays and the headlines editor at Free Speech Radio News did me a favor and turned down my pitch for today’s headlines. I am sure it won’t feel like a favor in a few days as I will have around $47 […]
The real thing in Cincinnati in the day light, not Japan at 3 am PDT. Not at night, blacked out to those who don’t own the proper cabal, uh, cable package!
In less than an hour, Eric Byrnes begins his quest for 200 hits and 100 RBI, and Brandon Webb begins his quest for 20 wins, […]

PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks today announced the 25-man roster that will open the 2008 season. The 11th Opening Day roster in franchise history will include 12 pitchers, two catchers, six infielders and five outfielders.
The final roster: PITCHERS (12): #37 Juan Cruz, #49 Doug Davis […]
Pitcher Doug Davis was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer, which apparently runs in his family - his mother and sister had it. He will undergo surgery on April 10, but wants to make his scheduled starts on April 3 & 8.
This type of cancer has a very high cure rate, and though Davis will […]
of the kind of performance we can expect from Dan Haren this season, then figure this kid will get 18 wins…at least. Of course, the Diamondbacks were playing the Chicago White Sox, and beating them 8-4, in the last spring tuneup in Tucson; the Oakland A’s, Haren’s former team, seemed to have the Pale Hose’s […]
Relief pitcher Doug Slaten, who has been rehabbing from microfracture surgery on his right knee (same procedure undergone by Chad Tracy), made his spring training debut in Arizona’s 6-5 victory over the Giants today. He allowed no runs and gave up only one hit in his one inning, earning himself a hold.
Micah Ownings started, but […]
Eric Byrnes has gone 1-13 in the week between St. Patrick’s Day and Easter, inclusive. During the week, he played every other day. I think there is a connection. The 7 days before, he went 6-13 with a homer and a couple of doubles. He played several games in succession. The issue for him may […]
Matt Scarborough of the blog “Diamondhacks” reports from a recent Spring Training game between the geographically challenged Angels and the Oakland Athletics:
It bears repeating, especially here, that even during a Cactus League tilt between the AL’s Angels and Athletics, one cant escape the universal truth that ladies everywhere seem to crave Byrnesie:

Yeah, I know: all of this will just go to show that I should stick to baseball.Â
Men’s brackets: My heart is with Indiana but my bracket is with North Carolina.
Final Four picks: NC, Georgetown, Stanford and UCLA with UCLA playing NC for the championship. The Pac 10 has come a long way in the over […]
I finally got to see the Diamondbacks on TV today. Eric Byrnes bounced out to second for the last out of the game, the end of his hitting streak–he went 0-3 with 2 BB–and the reminder that the D’Backs will take up a lot of my evenings with some rather long games.
Micah Owings pitched four […]
