"We need more signs!" <BR/><BR/>Oh..sorry...yes, in honor of current & former Dbacks Brandon Webb, Brandon Lyon and Chris Brandon Young, I'd be delighted to participate in your preview project, Brandon. Please email all pertinent details at your leisure to: <BR/><BR/>azdiamondhacks@yahoo.com...that's hacks with an 'H". <BR/><BR/>I'm waiving my standard $450 article fee on account of I like Niagra Falls so much; however pls be advised I will require a spread of Boars Head deli sandwiches on an organic selection of artisan breads in consideration of my services. The sandwiches should rest on freshly laundered, jewel tone 800 count cotton linens, and the spread itself, that is to say the tablature supporting the actual trays, should measure no less than 28x36 at the outside edge. An assortment of high end chocolate bars (incl at least two Toblerone)is to placed in a wicker basket and left on the mantel, but not obstructing the clock. Also, some crackers would be nice. <BR/><BR/>CheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18498935.post-88967462162171176622009-01-16T21:24:00.000-07:002009-01-16T21:24:00.000-07:00Off topic, but...Hey Matt,My name is Brandon Heiko...Off topic, but...<BR/><BR/>Hey Matt,<BR/><BR/>My name is Brandon Heikoop, I run 'The Outsiders Look' (http://theoutsiderslook.blogspot.com) a blog dedicated to all things baseball.<BR/><BR/>I am sending you this note to ask if you wouldn't mind answering a few questions for me regarding the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Thank you! <BR/><BR/>I even askd for (and recvd) a pocket tape recorder for XMAS, so I wouldnt forget post ideas, but it <I> still</I> slipped away. Again, thanks. 33. What a riot!<BR/><BR/>Michael, <BR/>Yeah, it's been a while since I've railed about it, but this seemed like a good time. There's a number of Dback FO issues (financial, customer service,etc) where I could see my position change or be swayed by addtnl evidence down the line. <BR/><BR/>But this isnt one of them. I'm not as day to day angry about the color change as I used to be, practically speaking. It's done. But each year, the wrongheadedness of it seems more evident to me, not less. At the risk of sounding like Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction", I feel like they've stolen a cherished bit of my past -and I'll never forgive that. <BR/><BR/>Jeff, <BR/> <BR/>Like most corporate decisions, there were 3 or 4 bullet points used to justify the change:<BR/><BR/>* purple hard to match up for marketing and various vendors<BR/>* NLW Rockies sport similar hues<BR/>* wanted to create a bold, aggressive image reflecting a bold,aggressive org <BR/><BR/>1 is a complete crock. 2 is a legitimate consideration, but doesnt justify the abrupt, wholesale changes they favored<BR/>3. well, I wanna be bold and aggresive and screw Tina Fey; doesnt mean it's the right thing to do. <BR/><BR/>Distancing themselves from Colangelo, purple, the early successes was a <I> huge</I> priority for these clowns. They were initially convinced they would come in with a superior culture and make people forget their predecessor. The FO still calls themselves "The Dream Team". Not the team on the field. The front office, referencing themselves. It's hilarious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18498935.post-25333153178818695592009-01-15T19:20:00.000-07:002009-01-15T19:20:00.000-07:00Never mind the Cardinals, you are number 33 in the...Never mind the Cardinals, you are number 33 in the MLBlog rankings and you never post on there.

Seems silly. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're enjoying the football Cardinals so much. Growing up close to St. Louis, I was always surprised how I and most everyone I knew rooted for the Bears despite our undying allegiance to the STL Baseball Cardinals. <BR/><BR/>People in and around STL hated the Bidwells so much that they just stopped going to games or caring for that matter. He was a creep... so I am told. They were gone before I knew too much about football... and I never got close to the Rams having already been hooked by the Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle.<BR/><BR/>Coincidentally, I hope the Football Cardinals beat the snot out of the Eagles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18498935.post-65097178152172045262009-01-15T13:56:00.000-07:002009-01-15T13:56:00.000-07:00Still railing--rightfully, I might add--about the ...Still railing--rightfully, I might add--about the Diamondbacks changing colors, I see.<BR/><BR/>Of course, could the Cardinals really go with any other color? If they were blue, wouldn't they be the Jays? Or if they were blue and the Cardinals, that would be the Diamondbacks.<BR/><BR/>Personally I thought the Diamondbacks had the best color scheme in all of sports...before...<BR/><BR/>Michael Norton<BR><A HREF="http://www.virtuallynowhere.net/someclubhouse/" REL="nofollow">Some Clubhouse - It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere!</A>Michael Nortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10760283540522938226noreply@blogger.com
