Record: 12-13-1. Change on 2025: -1. 5-inning Record: 9-15-2. The Diamondbacks’ five-game unbeaten streak came to an end tonight at Camelback Ranch. But it wasn’t without merit. In particular, an excellent outing by starting pitcher Michael Soroka, who was almost untouchable in his first start back from the World Baseball Classic. He went five scoreless […]
It was looking like this just wasn’t going to be the Spurs’ night. With a chance to clinch a playoff berth against a possible first round opponent, the Spurs came out flat offensively against the severely-shorthanded Phoenix Suns, and for 43 minutes, it was looking like a lost cause. Then, Victor Wembanyama did what MVP’s […]
A night game – and this one was actually scheduled this way, rather than being pushed back to the night to avoid the heat! Can’t say I blame anyone though. A high of 103 F today is just… wrong for mid-March, and it’s only a couple of degrees cooler than that now. Forecast high of […]

The Arizona Cardinals had a long list of free agents at the end of the 2025 season. They wanted several guys on the list, but some of the favorite fanbase players moved on. Receiver Greg Dortch was a guy who had plenty of good days while wearing the angry bird helmet. In free agency, he […]

Arizona Cardinals’ GM Monti Ossenfort had a lot going on after last season’s debacle, losing 14 games. Losing does not make anyone feel good, especially if you are the one pulling the puppet strings to make everything work as it should. So, Ossenfort went to work. He had many goals, but mainly to find capable […]
Game result: Diamondbacks 16, Cubs 8. Zounds! Jefferson Rojas continues to impress. He’ll need to get that BA up, though, to get to The Show. Miguel Amaya is smoking the ball. So is Matt Shaw. The pitching? The jury is still out. The third inning was troublesome for everypitcher. Knoxville sometime starter Dawson Netz closed […]
The Arizona Cardinals went into the offseason with lots of needs. Funny how that happens after losing 14 games. Certain players were not re-signed and allowed to test the free agency waters. So, GM Monti Ossenfort went to work. His goal was to find capable athletes to replace the players who didn’t get it done. […]
After a disastrous year last season, the Phoenix Suns were quick to recalibrate their roster in the summer.

Record: 12-12-1. Change on 2025: -1. 5-inning Record: 8-15-2. Arizona stretched their unbeaten streak to five games with an emphatic victory over the Cubs at Salt River Fields. It looked unlikely, considering the D-backs were 5-1 down in the middle of the third. But scoring fifteen unanswered runs is never a bad thing. A six-run […]
Wednesday was a very hot afternoon in the Phoenix area. The temperature reached 101 degrees, breaking the record for the month: “Hot” also described the Cubs bats, at least early in the game. The D-backs came back, though, hitting Edward Cabrera hard, and won the game 16-8. The D-backs scored first, off Cabrera in the […]

Dortch not only has […]

Go get ‘em, Edward.
After last night’s dramatic World Baseball Classic final, Eduardo Rodriguez will be returning to Salt River Fields in triumph, having started the game for the winners, and pitched a gem against a stacked American line-up. With all respect to the Cubs, this afternoon is going to be something of a let-down in comparison. But, cheer […]
The Arizona Cardinals made one signing official in bringing on return man Devin Duvernay, while also signing a tight end Teagan Quitoriano to a one-year contract. From the team: Duvernay (5-11, 202) is a two-time Pro Bowler (2021-22) and first team All-Pro selection (2021) as a returner. He has played 89 career games (25 starts) and […]

They made you sweat a little bit for it, didn’t they? The Phoenix Suns came into Target Center on the tail end of a back-to-back, playing in Boston and losing to the Celtics the night before. Making things more intriguing was the Minnesota Timberwolves’ relation in the standings to Phoenix. Separated by just two games, […]
