Dedicated to two people--one of whom is Eric Byrnes.
Beginning 6:30 pm MST 12/12/07
“It’s just disappointing to me seeing Eric Byrnes, the face of this squad, the way the fans performed tonight against him by booing him and everything. That’s the kind of stuff that’s disappointing…Through the course of the year, you’re going to fall into slumps — I don’t care how good you are, you’re going to […]
Brandon Webb just gets better every year. He actually had more wins and a better ERA last year, when he finished second in the Cy Young balloting to Jake Peavy, than he did when he won the award in 2006. And in 2008, he has won his first 9 starts, the latest being an 8-5 […]
Big nights from Stephen Drew (3-run homer; great defense) and Chris Young (3-5 w/ 3 runs scored) helped the D’Backs snap a three-game losing streak. Randy Johnson had trouble with his location, giving up all four of the Rockies runs in 5 innings. (But think of it this way: the bullpen didn’t cave!)
Rockies’ starter Jeff […]
For the first time this season, the Diamondbacks were swept in a series as the Cubs defeated them Friday, Saturday and Sunday by scores of 3-1, 7-2 and 6-4 respectively. On Friday, Dan Haren came out on the short end of a pitchers’ duel with Ted Lilly, made all the worse by Haren given up […]
on testing cancer free. I hope it stays that way.
You are also staying strong despite potentially energy sapping radiation therapy. Also very good.
You have a rehab game in the minors Saturday. Good luck!
Looking forward to seeing you back in the majors real soon!

I heard some sports talking head this morning talking about Josh Beckett being the best pitcher in the majors at 4-2. Fiddlesticks! Brandon Webb is 8-0!
He pitched a complete game yesterday, saving the bullpen. Of course, it helped that he was staked to a chalupa-sized 8 runs, thanks in part to Chris Young’s 2-run homer, […]
Many knowledgeable baseball people, including Eric Byrnes, consider the 2001 World Series one of the best, if not THE best World Series ever. Seven games between the storied New York Yankees, winners of the previous three World Series, and 26 championships overall, versus the upstart Arizona Diamondbacks, in existence for only four years and playing […]
The Arizona Diamondbacks dropped the rubber match of their three game series against the Mets, 5-2. This is the first time they have lost a series since the opening series against Cincinnati.
They really beat themselves in this one. Dan Haren matched up well with Johan Santana, yielding only 2 runs. But the D’Backs offense left […]
The Diamondbacks beat the Mets 10-4, enabling Brandon Webb to notch his 7th win with less than his best stuff. He gave up all 4 of the Mets runs on 5 hits, including a 3-run homer by Carlos Delgado in the 6th inning, Webb’s last.
Augie Ojeda, subbing for Orlando Hudson, who is day-to-day with a […]
Remember the B.C. cartoons in which The Fat Broad would pound the snake with a club? It’s like that when the Mets come to Chase Field. Tonight, the Mets pounded the D’Backs 7-2.
Micah Owings, whose ankle is still sore, didn’t have his stuff, gave up all the runs in 5.2 innings, and took the […]
