Game Recaps Most of Diamondbacks’ energy spent on dugout spat in loss to Cubs by José M. Romero [AZ Central] The Diamondbacks showed fight on Monday night, Aug. 24 — trouble was, most of it came from the dugout and appeared to be directed toward Chicago Cubs third base coach, Quintin Berry. Beyond that, their night featured another listless […]

Today’s Reflections If I was there this weekend, I definitely would have been “Sleepless in Seattle.” Friday, the Cubs lost a winnable game on a walk-off single by a .130 hitter, Leo Rivas. Then Saturday, the Cubs see a definite win turn into a brutal loss. After that .130 hitter (Rivas) drove in a run […]
After suffering a 7-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Monday night, Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly feels they had an unfair advantage.

The start of the work week wasn’t very kind to the Arizona Diamondbacks. They were on the receiving end of a 7-0 demolition at the hands of the Chicago Cubs, and considering that the Diamondbacks are chasing a postseason spot, losses like this do not help. However, starting pitcher Merrill Kelly believes that the Cubs […]

The Mariners start this series today against the Phillies of Philadelphia fame (the city, not the cream cheese), coming off of a huge series victory over the Chicago Cubs.

Earlier this month, I wrote about the candidates for the NL MVP and AL Cy Young awards. I picked those races because they’re especially close right now.

The Cubs, Phillies, Padres, Diamondbacks, and Marlins are the only National League teams left with realistic Wild Card chances.
It’s too bad the Cubs can’t use run differential to balance out a loss here and there, because winning 19-2 sure would have helped. But since that can’t make up for two walk-off losses, they really need to take care of business against the Diamondbacks. Before looking ahead to Monday’s game, though, we need to …

The Diamondbacks took two out of three against the Reds the hard way, including a last minute come from behind win and a loss where they gave up 11 runs, losing two pitchers in the aftermath. But they also got Drey Jameson back, and I for one still believe there’s hope he’ll be a productive […]
