1 ace down, 1 to go!


Memo to Josh Byrnes & Jeff Moorad, sign your Ace Brandon Webb right now please. This guy once again proved why he is going to be in the Cy Young race year in & year out. He pitched a gem last night & earned his MLB leading 16th victory of the season with a complete game. He is in the top 2 in 4 out of the 7 major pitching categories including winning percentage & innings pitched. Once again I want to say to the D'Backs GM, sign this guy Josh Byrnes! By signing Haren you made it clear that you want to keep the pitching core but why didn't you sign Webb first? I like Haren a lot, but I like Webb more & why shouldn't I; the guy has been doing this since his 1st full season in the big leagues. He was the guy groomed to take over when Schilling left & he hasn't disappointed. I mean tis guy should have 18 wins right now with us blowing 2 leads for him last month in Philly & L.A. So B. Webb keep doing your thing, keep pitching your heart out, & they will pay you. We want you to start & end your career in a Diamondback uniform.

I saw him pitch Tuesday night and I know now why he is one of the best pitchers in baseball bar none. Great control, delivery and command of his pitches. He didn't get a lot of strikeouts in the game but he got a lot of groundouts and that was very effective pitching from Webb. Now if he had a quality offense to back him, he would probably have a ring already.
