I Got Your Backs D'Backs!


Why all the negative comments about the Arizona Diamondbacks lately people? What, the trades for Rauch & Clark didn't boost your confidence in them? What, this 7-3 road trip they just finished up still didn't do anything for you? I guess you don't believe that this team can repeat as NL West Champs with the current roster as is. Well I do so suck on that!
First you need to realize that our starting pitching, with a couple exceptions like today, has pitched lights out most of the year. Our 2 aces are getting better as the season drags on & the fact that RJ is going to win us double digit games this season is pretty exciting. SO the Dodgers made a big splash by acquiring Manny Ramirez @ the last second of the trade deadline, we are still going to beat L.A. The Diamondbacks are just starting to find their way out of their slump & by posting a solid road trip, I believe they found it. How can you say that after 2 straight losses to the Dodgers? Easy, we are going to finish the season with a better record than the Dodgers to win the division. That's all we need & then anything can happen come playoff time. We are built to win with our aces & damn it we're going to do it.
At this point of the season we know what we have & now we know what L.A. has. It's going to be decided by a game or two on the last weekend of the season but do we really want it any other way? So back your D'Backs with me peeps & let's start to sell out some of these home games. I hate seeing Chase with so many empty seats but it does make the beer lines shorter for me.
