We know it was a big comeback, and Brett Carroll’s pinch hit home run just put the Florida Marlins on top of the Arizona Diamondbacks, but when was the last time you saw celebratory humping in baseball that didn’t include Steve Garvey?
Look for yourself, as Florida first baseman Jorge Cantu goes to town on the [...]
Five wins in a row. And with a 7-0 lead over the Florida Marlins after 5 innings, you had to feel pretty confident that the D-Backs would make it 6 in a row.
Nope!
The Marlins rallied, and rallied, and then rallied some more and beat the Diamondbacks 14-7 in the opener of a 4-game series [...]
Leave it to the Arizona Diamondbacks to finally hit their stride right before the All-Star break.
The D-Backs have reeled off 5 straight wins, their longest streak of the season, and try to extend that as they welcome the Florida Marlins to town for their one and only visit to Chase Field this season.
Arizona’s win streak [...]

The Arizona Diamondbacks went into this afternoon’s game winning four in a row with Max Scherzer on the mound for the team. The Diamondbacks would win their fifth in a row by coming from behind with a five run eighth inning to win the game with some help from Felipe Lopez who would provide the [...]
The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the San Diego Padres 6-2 on Wednesday to win their season-high fifth straight game. The five straight wins is an obvious tribute to Jackson’s Thriller album, that spent 80 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, and 37 of those at the chart’s apex. Wait, that’s Ron Artest’s [...]
Something’s going on with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Call it kismet. Say it’s about time they started playing ball. Credit Mark Reynolds strong words last Friday. Whatever it is, the D-Backs are on a roll.
Arizona used a 5-run 8th inning to propel themselves to a 6-2 victory over the San Diego Padres. [...]

He also promised FSN’s Todd Walsh that he would follow up his verbal endorsement with [...]
The Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday traded reliever Tony Pena to the Chicago White Sox for minor league infielder Brandon Allen. Many are speculating that this is the first of what could be many trades in the next 3 weeks or so for the Diamondbacks as we get closer to the MLB trade deadline.
That very [...]
The Arizona Diamondbacks were able to hold off the San Diego Padres for the second straight night. The D-backs would create an early lead by driving in four runs in the third and the fourth innings. San Diego would score a run early and would try to bounce back from the three run deficit but [...]
In the age of cell phones, this type of occurrence rarely happens, but it appears as if White Sox starting pitcher Bartolo Colon has gone missing…
Colon had previously been rehabbing an injury in Arizona at the White Sox’s spring training facility, but has since dropped off the map. He is scheduled to make a minor [...]
The Arizona Diamondbacks have the opportunity for a rare accomplishment this afternoon (at least for them).
A victory over the San Diego Padres today would give the Arizona Diamondbacks their first series sweep of 2009. The last time the D-Backs swept any series was September 26, 27 and 28 of last season when they gave [...]
Ok, so there’s a lot of sarcasm in the headline of this post.
The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the San Diego Padres 4-3 on Tuesday night. More importantly, the Diamondbacks are showing they have a little fight in them.
The win was the D-Backs’ 4th straight, which ties a season-high for longest winning streak. They also [...]

The Arizona Diamondbacks come off of a series win in Colorado to return home to play in front of the second smallest crowd in franchise history. Mark Reynolds would state his case for being an all-star as he provides some [...]
Before Monday night’s game between the Diamondbacks and the Padres, I joked via Twitter that it may have been friends and family night at Chase Field.
Turns out, the attendance of 17,528 at Chase Field was the 2nd lowest in team history. The smallest crowd ever was on April 26, 2007 when 16,792 [...]
Chase Field has not been all that friendly to the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2009, and that’s being kind.
The Diamondbacks’ 15-28 home record is the worst in baseball (yes, worse than the woeful Washington Nationals). Nonetheless, the Diamondbacks will close out the first half of their schedule with a 7-game homestand, beginning tonight against the [...]
Hallelujah! Someone finally said what needed to be said. Mark Reynolds said what the Diamondbacks players, organization, fans and media all needed to hear. He shook up the state of apathy. He is our lyrical savior.

All you have to do to see how bad 2009 has been for the Arizona Diamondbacks is look at the standings. They’re 33-49, in last place in the National League West, and face the biggest deficit of any team in Major League Baseball.
The most repeated question surrounding the ‘09 D-Backs is ‘what’s the problem?’ [...]
