Been a while since I posted, in part because I was out of town last week at a trade show in San Diego. Not a bad place to go for a working vacation, and a week ago we got to take in a game between the Padres and the D-backs. My dad's a rabid D-backs fan, beside which my fandom (or fanhood, as the ESPN ads call it) seems rather small. He brought his own logo-coordinated Arizona hat and shirt, having overcome his anger at their change in colors and logo, which seemed to him (correctly) to be an effort to boost merchandising sales.

Giles just aren’t going to cut it. The rotation is solid up front with CY Young winner Jake Peavy and Chris Young but after that I am not so sure. Greg Maddux is not getting any younger or any better, Randy Wolf never became the pitcher people thought he would turn into and Mark Prior has question after question as their 5 starter. Can he stay healthy and if so can he even come close to regaining the form he had back in 2003. I don’t think this bullpen is very strong either. Trevor Hoffman gets older and older and he continues to blow the biggest saves. Everything will have to go this teams way if they are going to stay in this tightly contested division race.
