DBacks will faulter

[SKEETER1]

I have season tickets and yes I did win $$ win the dbacks straight up tonight and on a parlay but.......this is one of the worst hitting teams I have seen who remain on top due to the Big Unit and Schilling and a good outing once in awhile from Anderson or Lopez but OMG this team has a por avg with runners in scoring position and Brenly refuses to bunt runners up even with his team hitting a mere 230 w/ RISP ...dont let this team fool ya hitting 5th in the NL...they did all this the 1st 2 months of the season. They R a great fielding team but with Finley ...Bell...Sanders....hitting a mere 260 combined....and Williams contrubting his lack luster 10 hrs up to now....this team cannot keep pace with SF or even the Dodgers....and yessssss KIM,,,,,would ya get a save with runners in scoring position....this guy has trouble under pressure....Trade me or play me...Durazzo and Delucci...begging to play everyday....

I agree, SF & LA should pass these guys in the NL west race, The only thing is everytime I think that - they put together 3 or 4 wins in a row

After what I have seen all year and with tonights explosive performance lol.....and Brenly refusing to play his best two hitters( Durazo...Delucci) w/exception Gonzo....I am thinking of taking Pitt on Tue nite.... Let me look at he pitchers for this matchup....Anderson threw well for Pitt tongiht n spotted his pitches well but for a 1st place team to have 5 hits and 1 of them by the Unit...a shot to the fence that resulted in a single..due to him falling down...I thought he was running on his hands lol....this team is a pathetic on the offensive end...END OF STORY...and END OF UR PLAYOFF HOPES

SKEETER - HEY MAN I AGREE WITH YOU ON THE D-BACKS I AM ALSO A SEASON TICKET HOLDER. I AM IN SECTION O JUST BEHING THE D-BACKS DOUGOUT ABOUT 5 ROWS BEHIND. I GET SO FRUSTRATED WITH SOME OF THE DECSISIONS. BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT I LOVE WHAT HE HAS DONE LATELY. HE HAS GONE WITH A LINE-UP AND STUCK WITH IT AND THEY HAVE PLAYED BETTER AS OF LATE. IF HE WOULD JUST GET WOMACK OUT OF THE MIX IT WOULD BE GREAT. HAVE BELL AND WOMACK COMING OF THE BENCH. I THINK THE DODGERS ARE DONE IF YOU LOOK AT THE TEAMS THEY PLAYED DURING THERE STREAK THEY BEAT NOBODYS. THE TEAM IS SAN FRAN. THESE GUYS DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOSE. I AM HOPING WE CAN SNEEK INTO THE WILD CARD BUT WITH THE CUBBIES, ASTROS, CARDS, PHILLIES AND BRAVES IT WILL BE TOUGH. WE NEED LOPEZ AND ANDERSON TO WIN GAMES. WE KNOW SCHILL AND RJ WILL. THE GAME LAST NIGHT WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS RELAXED THE WHOLE GAME. NEVER A DOUBT IN MY MIND AND LIKE YOU I ALSO HIT THE GAME. I POSTED IT WAS A LOCK. I LOOK SMART KNOW BUT THIS TEAM IS JEKEL AND HIDE. ALL I CAN SAY IS I AM A HUGE D-BACK FAN AND I AM WITH THEM WIN OR LOSE.

If ARI had TEX hitters or TEX had ARI pitchers . . . we would be looking at one of the best teams of all time. Instead . . . ?

Skeeter,

I would take the tickets but I cannot go tonight. In the future if you have the tickets up for grabs let me know.

I think the D-Backs will pick up their hitting and will win the division. If Brian Anderson, Albie Lopez, and Miguel Batista pitch half way decent I think they will be fine. Steve Finley has started hitting the ball and Matt Williams is hitting decent right now as well. I try to watch every game and I see them winning the next 8 of 10 games.

I just found out Brenly has used 104 different starting lineups, they say this is close to avg only 4 diff teams have used a few more and thats the 4 last place teams considering both the national and american league.....for a first place team to use so many different lineups one would tend to believe they R 10 to 15 gms out of 1st....just makes me wonder....But will continue to hold onto my season tickets and go to the games...but DAMNIT Brenly...play Durazzo and Delucci and Spivey for that matter...they as in Delucci and Durazo have produced more home runs..rbi's in only 165 AB's compared to Finleys and Bells getting 350 AB's...Sanders is streaky with his HR's but he K's so damn much...let Durazzo or Delucci play and am sure they can keep way above Sanders #'s....I know either are not the greatest in the OF but am sure their bat would cover what little runs they give up
