Arizona Diamondbacks (2001 World Series Champions)

BPCFFB League #2 League Champion 2008 & 2010
Well, I may be the only D-Backs fan on here... but things seem to be getting exciting. I loved their game plan in the off season... strong pitching and fielding. No real big name hitters... and great young talent. They are really going after the playoffs this year. They made no trades at deadline... but have just picked up 3 waiver players. B-H Kim, Jeff Cirillo and Joe Kennedy. All as tactics to block other teams from adding them and for added depth. Although I don't think they have the talent level to win a penant... they're young and have money to spend, so watch out. BTW sucks that Randy Johnson is done for the year.
 
D-Backs coming through


Very Good read to why they have such a good record. Good defense and the ability to win close games. Very good job by Manager Bob Melvin. In other news Eric Brynes signed a 3yr 30 Mill extension. That's huge, he's hitting over 300 and has double digit Hr's and steals.

In an effort to bolster a tired bullpen, the Diamondbacks have signed veteran relief pitcher Bob Wickman, a former closer with 267 saves in his 15-year career.

He is expected to join the team today before the Diamondbacks begin a three-game series against the Cardinals.

D-Backs add Bob Wickman. After getting shredded by the Padres by expirience, it's good to see them add a vet reliver.

Wow StarBucks, I figure I'll add some diversity to your thread here: I think, given what the DBacks did this season, they will be in the World Series - not many people have any clue who is on the team or what they did this season, but they are solid.

I'm lovin my new "home town" team! They play every game with heart and hustle, the way it should be played. Brandon Webb pitched a gem tonight against the Cubs and the one game lead should stretch to win this series I'm guessing. Its amazing watching them every night in 1 and 2 run ballgames. Someone always comes through in the 7-9 innings. With a lead going into the 9th you can forget it; Valverde is a badass! The way the Reds organization has been the past decade I'm starting to lean my loyalties away and being in Phoenix, theres a class act right down the street. I'm definitely pulling for the DBacks to win the series!

This is great... More D-backs fans!!! I've been pulling for the Red Sox in the AL since I live next door to Fenway, and everyone around me is obsessive and dedicated (seems familiar:wink2:). But it is known that my team has been the D-Backs since their very first game played in 97. The D-Backs are definetly suprising everyone... and they're doing it without Randy Johnson, Orlando Hudson and Chad Tracy. So, they could be an even better team next year. I think they have a real shot at winning the NL. I'll be pulling for the Phillies to knock off the Rockies, cause they scare me.

Money in the bank right now. This team is destined. I hate to use that word but how else could the team with the 3rd least amount of runs scored in the league be about to win the championship? Beats me and has from day one. This team really is one big slugger away from just dominating teams. The youth movement just means they're going to be around for a while also. Good stuff spanking the Cubs.
