Mr. Diamondhacks - I love your blog. It is the only place to read honest and interesting analysis of the Diamondbacks on the web and I have followed it for several years now, but never had an intelligent comment to add. I just wanted to say: please never stop writing it.

Thank you,
A disgruntled Diamondbacks fan from Sierra Vista

I totally agree with most of these...especially Worst Soil Borne Fungal Disease. And Most Durable. Mark Reynolds is made of rubber!

Sierra Vista,
I feel like I just won the Nobel Prize; humbled, grateful and mostly, surprised as hell! Thank you so much. Incidentally, my contract runs thru 2015, so stick around :-)

Caroline,
If Reynolds is rubber, I'm afraid Valley Fever may've turned Conor into glue!

I will burn this house in order to save it? Is that the overriding strategy from Diamondhacks?

Russell said...

Anonymous- I also have never had an intelligent comment to add but I don't let that stop me.

Paul,
Diamondhacks is driven by impulsive, visceral needs for money, sex and power. There is no overriding strategy.
