Bullpen implodes in 8th, Cubs win finale 10-6
Reed Johnson’s grand slam home run off of reliever Leo Rosales highlighted a 6-run 8th inning, and helped the Chicago Cubs salvage the final game of a 3-game series, 10-6 over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Owings entered the game in the 8th in relief of starter Doug Davis, with the Diamondbacks trailing 4-3. Owings walked the […]
Diamondbacks punish Cubs 9-2
Monday night, hits and runs were hard to come by for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Tuesday they were a lot easier to come by. Conor Jackson, for the second time in this home stand, hit a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning to get the offensive wheels turning, and the […]

D-Backs pick up an arm
The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired right-handed reliever Jon Rauch from the Washington Nationals in exchange for second baseman Emilio Bonifacio.
Rauch was the Nats’ closer, and had a 4-2 record with 17 saves in 22 opportunities and a 2.98 ERA. Rauch, a 6-year veteran, is 29 years old, and is the tallest pitcher in […]
Johnson, D-Backs blank Cubbies 2-0
Randy Johnson came into Monday’s game against the Chicago Cubs with a career record of 12-0 vs. the Northsiders. Factoring in that the 44-year old Johnson has been shaky at times over the last couple of months, and that the Cubs are the National League’s best offense, one might expect a ‘1′ to appear […]

Cubs fans are what’s wrong with Arizona sports
I’m not quite sure what city I live in. Last time I checked it’s 110 degrees outside without any humidity so it must not be Chicago.
I wish I could tell that by going to Chase Field this week, listening to the radio or reading the local newspapers.
The Diamondbacks three game series versus the Cubs today, […]
Cubs (and their fans) invade Chase
When the Chicago Cubs make their annual trek to Chase Field, it inevitably cranks up the energy level at the airplane hangar-ish looking ballpark in the desert. That’s what is on tap for the next three nights in downtown Phoenix…high energy, two first-place teams competing, and a whole lot of Cubs’ fans taking up […]

Bullpen, defense snatch 14th win from Webb
It was business as usual for 8 innings for Brandon Webb and the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Webb held the Los Angeles Dodgers in check for those 8 innings, allowing just 1 run, and exiting with a 4-1 lead after throwing 109 pitches. He was only 3 outs away from earning […]

Dan Haren is really good. That about says it all. Conor Jackson jump started the Diamondbacks offense with a solo homer in the first, followed by an rbi ground rule double by Chad Tracy, and Haren pretty much did the rest over the next 7 innings. Haren pitched shutout ball, allowing just […]

Second half starts with a visit from the Dodgers
After one of the better All-Star Games in recent memory, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the rest of the Majors are back at it tonight. The D-Backs, owners of a scant 1-game lead in the National League West, host the team they lead by that 1 game, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Diamondbacks started […]

Tony Clark to the rescue?
According to ESPN.com the Arizona Diamondbacks have re-acquired first baseman Tony Clark from the San Diego Padres.
The Diamondbacks have sent pitching prospect Evan Scribner to San Diego for Clark.
I’ve been all for the Diamondbacks making a move but I’m not quite sure that this is the one that will make the difference. Clark isn’t a […]
Chris Snyder’s boys have a new “buddy”
By now you have undoubtedly heard about the injury Diamondbacks catcher Chris Snyder suffered. If you are a man you probably even suffered a little bit with him.
Well no need to worry anymore because Snyder has a “new buddy” that will take care of everything.
When he makes his return to the lineup following the all-star […]

You can’t go a day without some Diamondback fan muttering under their breath something to the effect of “stupid Diamondbacks. Gave away Carlos Quentin for nothing.” Carlos Quentin will be making his All-Star debut tonight at Yankee Stadium, representing the Chicago White Sox. Quentin has had a wonderful first half […]
Burrell buries D-Backs
Pat Burrell cracked a 3-run home run in the 8th inning off of Diamondbacks’ reliever Chad Qualls, breaking a 2-2 tie, and fueling the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-2 victory Sunday at Citizens Bank Park.
Brandon Webb started the game for Arizona, and once again pitched well, going 7 innings while allowing 7 hits and 2 […]
D-Backs blast Phillies 10-4
The Arizona Diamondbacks got their biggest single-inning offensive output of the season in the 4th against the Philadelphia Phillies, and it was more than enough to propel them to an 10-4 win Saturday at Citizens Bank Park.
The fourth start out innocently enough, as Mark Reynolds flied out to left and Chris Young was retired on […]
Bullpen fails, Phillies nip D-Backs in 12
Jayson Werth singled in So Taguchi in the bottom of the 12th inning, giving the Philadelphia Phillies a 6-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park.
For the second straight game, the Diamondbacks’ bullpen couldn’t hold a late lead. This time the pen faltered in the 8th. Doug Slaten started the inning, […]
Just found the MLB Hub site, and happy to see that my favorite blog, Shea Nation, is the Mets' site ...
