Epic failure has a new home.

I’ve missed an awful lot of interesting stuff this week while working at the job that “pays me” so what better to catch up than just some good ol’ fashioned random thoughts and minor commentary.
I’m a big fan of Pete Carroll to the Seahawks…as a Cardinals fan. People can put all the spin they want [...]

I realize I don’t post links quite enough for them to be called “daily” – thus here are some periodic links.
Revolving door continues at left tackle for Seahawks – if the Cards can’t get a sack now that Seattle is on their 3rd and 4th string left tackle then they might never get one again.
Periodic [...]

I’m sure many of you received a similar call this week – but according to Martha Lee she was called earlier in the day by the Diamondbacks who had a simple question for her:
What brought you out to the games this year?
Now we here at SoD are nothing if not incredibly helpful so Louie, Zim, [...]

56; 755; 61; .406; 2,130. These are the numbers that define the history of major league baseball. Most have fallen in the last 15 years. Some legitimately, most under a cloud of suspicion. Last night another majestic number fell — 204. Having stood for eons (less than 360 days) it is yet another symbol of [...]

With the D’backs’ 2009 season in the books, it is time to look ahead to the off-season and figure out what holes the D’backs need to fill to ensure 2010 does not resemble 2009. I’ve identified three primary areas in which the the current D’backs’ roster is deficient: hitting, pitching, and defense. Should be an [...]

As America’s number one most responsible journalist, I headed to Denver this weekend to get hammered for a bachelor/bachelorette party study the Diamondbacks up close. Since I’m not a good enough writer to come up with the transitions necessary for a well-edited piece (and this is SoD not TIME magazine), enjoy my bullet point [...]

Excerpt from the pink slip and note left on Jon Garland’s locker today:
Excuse me, Jon. Mr. Garland. I know you were scheduled to pitch against the Dodgers on Thursday but we’re gonna need you to pick up your shit go over to their dugout. Thanks. Oh, and by the way, if it’s not too much [...]

Depsite starting the year with a league-high three players with neck tattoos (Jon Rauch, Felipe Lopez, and Ryan Roberts), the D’backs are now down to a pedestrian one neck tattoo (Roberts) following today’s trade of Jon Rauch.
What has happened to this once proud franchise? I can’t believe we now live in an era where the D’backs can only [...]

Something dawned on me last night as I watched Jaime Moyer carve the D’backs for six shutout innings on merely 69 pitches (after coming off 6 2/3 innings of shutout ball against the D’backs on July 27th). Jaime Moyer may be a Hall of Famer. Yes, that “Jaime Moyer.” The journeyman, the Julio Franco of [...]

A friend of SoD and co-worker of mine pointed out a few days ago that whenever I write anything even remotely positive about the D-Backs they tend to go in the tank for a stretch. I thought about this and opted to do some research into the matter and as you’ll see below the findings [...]
