Now I have to rely on the Eagles to pick up the W.

Not too happy as a Rockies fan but happy because the only team that had a mathematical shot was the DBacks and ABDB.

Yeah, it's a tough row to hoe from here on out, but the first step has been taken.

My motto going forward is "Win for Vin".

They were in last place, 9 1/2 games out on 6/22. Were you saying they bought the division at that time?

I notice your avatar... thought you might like the picture below. By the way, have they finished paying their part of his salary yet? What were they trying to buy by giving him the most lucrative contract in baseball history, hmmm?

Unlike those 1%ers, Mark Walter, Todd Boehly, Bobby Patton, Peter Guber, Stan Kasten, and Earvin “Magic” Johnson.

And it does take a little time to get all those highly payed players to act like a team.

The New Yankees! I hope you're proud!

the only thing worse was MLB allowing him to get a away with it. The pool incident was an example of the lack of control Mattingly has over this team. Heck, virtually anybody can win with a payroll of over $200 million..

I'm not surprised the D-Backs are pissed. Something similar would not have happened at AT&T.

The Dodgers have a payroll of 216 million, in essence buying their way into the playoffs, and they act like they just won the World Series...

Willie Bloomquist:

“I think it’s tired and disrespectful,” Bloomquist said, via ArizonaSports.com. “It’s surprising because they have a lot of veteran guys on that team that I thought were classier than that.”

“But there’s a fine line between going overboard at someone else’s place and doing that, I think,” he added. “But what are we going to do about it? There’s not much we can do about it now. They’ve clinched the division this year, but if that’s how they’re going to act and be classless, that’s their gig, that’s their clubhouse. I just think it’s disrespectful and classless.”


D-Backs president Derrick Hall got in a shot:

“I could call it disrespectful and classless, but they don’t have a beautiful pool at their old park and must have really wanted to see what one was like.
