Official Dbacks 2008 Season Thread

[AZGrizFan]

Davis actually pitched well. Lyon sucks now...

Go Dunn!!

Yeah. That's because I dropped Davis and traded for Lyon on my fantasy team....

[dbackjon]

Went to the game last night. Expected a pitcher's duel, ended up a 8-6 slugfest. Dunn had a 3-run bomb!!


Dbacks up 2 over the Mannys

[AZGrizFan]

We're up 3 and we STILL suck. I wouldn't be surprised if the fvckin' Rockies win this division.

I think I am more worried about them than the Dodgers...

We suck.

[AZGrizFan]

we are now making a pitcher with a 6.29 ERA look like Cy Young AGAIN. WTF???

[dbackjon]

typical Dback crap - especially when RJ is pitching...

wow. three quick runs....now RJ's got a lead to work with for a change...

[AZGrizFan]

yeah! RJ helpin' his own cause with an RBI!!!

4-0 D-Backs now!

[dbackjon]

Great inning - Montero's first ever triple came at a great time.

And how 'bout RJ with two hits so far???

[dbackjon]

And then we blow the lead...

[AZGrizFan]

And then we blow the lead...

This is gettin' to be ri-goddamned-diculous.

So, the better of the two Drew brothers hits for the cycle, the better of the two Upton brothers gets hurt (again), Johnson gets ROCKED and throws over 100 pitches in 3.2 innings, and the D-Backs manage to pull out a win to maintain their 2.5 game lead on the surging Dodgers.

I still say Colorado is gonna win this division.

I'm pulling for the D'backs...anything to keep MANRAM out of the playoffs...

Don't worry. I don't think it's gonna be the Dodgers either...

David Eckstein will lead us to the Promised land!!

He'd better...because the pitching staff now looks like the Kansas City Royals.

[AZGrizFan]

Dbacks accidently backed into a win tonight, thanks to the horrid Cardinals bullpen....let's hope we can avoid getting swept in L.A.

[dbackjon]

We need to win 2 of 3, especially with Webb, Haren and Johnson pitching.

[AZGrizFan]

Wasn't that the three we had going against them LAST week?

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[AZGrizFan]

Turn out the lights....the party's over....they say that all....good things must end......

GAWD, what a horrid performance this year....

And the "Playa' of the Year" award goes to Mark Reynolds. He singlehandedly led the league in the two worst statistical categories:

Strikeouts
Errors

[dbackjon]

Pathetic ending. Bases loaded TWICE, no score...

Is this the same team that had no seats available on the bandwagon about the first week of May?

Same team, different results.


BoMel needs to be fired...Players regressed during the year.

I disagree. I think they OVER achieved last year. How can he be manager of the year one year, then fired the next?

I think Rick Schu needs to GO. NOW. Our hitters SUCK big BALLS.

And I think Kirk Gibson needs to rip somebody's head off and shit down their throat in front of the whole team.

Only TWO guys on this team improved this year----Stephen Drew and Webbie (and even Webbie was not an all-star in September). Young looked better in the second half, and I guess we can hope that's the Young we'll see next year from the beginning.

The Eckstein experiment was an abject failure--he's an absolutely horrible ballplayer....as was the Adam Dunn experiment. If we were willing to sell the farm to go get a big bat in right field, why didn't we just keep Troy Glaus a few years ago?

The biggest mistake this team made was giving huge contracts to Byrnes and Young. Byrnes may be the next Russ Ortiz contract....Young better perform like he did in the second half, and Haren better stop with the second half pedestrian performances (it's become his modus operendi).

They need to get RID of Tracy and Eckstein, move Reynolds to 2nd (where he hopefully won't make 35 errors), move Dunn to 1B (assuming they resign him), give Upton another shot at RF, and go get a big fvcking bat for 3B that's also a hoover. I'm PRETTY sure Reynolds lost us more games with his glove than he won with his bat.

Webb
Haren
Scherzer
Johnson (if he's willing to come back @ $5 mil)
Petit/Davis

Not a bad rotation....but we'll have huge offensive holes in LF, 2B, 1B and RF unless something changes dramatically in the offseason.
