Latest blog entries from Phoenix teams across every league
After a mostly ugly series at San Francisco, a return home to play the Arizona Diamondbacks should have helped get the Phillies back on track. But the ugly play largely continued against Arizona, and a slew of self-imposed mistakes caused the Phillies to lose the game – and the series – on Sunday by a […]
On April 8th in 2013, Phoenix Coyotes forward Antoine Vermette fired a pass from the Vancouver Canucks goal line, past its intended recipient Keith Yandle, the entire length of the ice into Phoenix's empty net with one minute remaining in the third period trailing 1-0. The own goal, credited to Canucks defenseman Dan Hamhuis, came during a two man-advantage thanks to a
On March 21st in 2009, Vancouver Canucks boozehound blueliner Shane O'Brien inadvertently scored an own goal into his empty net during a delayed penalty, putting the Phoenix Coyotes up 4-0 midway through the match. Ironically, the goal was credited to Viktor Tikhonov the same Phoenix player who was penalized moments earlier for hooking Vancouver's Sami Salo. The Coyotes beat the Canucks that

After pulling out a narrow win on Saturday afternoon, the Phillies will go for the series win against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Andrew Painter will make the third start of his young career in the rubber match. The Diamondbacks will go with veteran righthander Zac Gallen. Gallen has had success against the Phillies over […]
The United Football League (UFL) is in full swing. They have some different rules this year, and that is by design. It tests new ideas of rules, plus the league is a training ground for referees and coaches. One of the new rules is that field goal attempts from 60+ yards becomes four-points instead of […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Arizona Diamondbacks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Well, that was somewhat anticlimactic, wasn’t it? It appears the SnakePit readership is highly influenced […]
Less than twenty-four hours after the Diamondbacks managed to overcome a disastrous first inning from Michael Soroka, they had the chance to do it again, thanks to the kind of performance we’ve sadly become accustomed to from Brandon Pfaadt in 2026. On paper, at least, this seemed like a winnable game, and maybe even one […]
In last night’s game, the Phillies jumped out a big lead in the first inning, only to do nothing the rest of the way but give back the lead and the win. Today, the roles were switched. Arizona got out to a quick lead, then watched their starter give it all back. I like it […]
Defense wins championships, as the old adage goes. While this team is unlikely to reach championship heights, it has secured the Lakers no lower than a fourth seed in the playoffs. This guarantees them home court in the first round, regardless of what happens on the final day of the regular season. LA has had […]

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Diamondbacks: Let’s talk about it.
Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks Mount Four-Run Comeback to Take Game One in PhillyMichael Soroka had his first clunker of the year, but he still managed to limit the damage after a four-run first inning to keep the team in the game. Then, the Diamondbacks went to work on Philadelphia’s bullpen. Diamondbacks Five-Run Fifth Powers Comeback VictoryMichael […]
The Arizona Cardinals don’t center a new center. Veteran Hjalte Froholdt is doing a great job, and the franchise isn’t looking to replace players who are doing their job. Day 3 guys usually are earmarked for backup spots. Lord knows that the offensive line will go through a lot of bodies each season. And so, […]
The Lakers took down the Suns 101-73 on Friday night. They clinched home court in the first round of the playoffs thanks to the Rockets losing to the Wolves. Rui Hachimura started things off for LA with an impressive reverse layup. LeBron James was cooking early for Los Angeles with three 3-pointers and three free […]
Game Summary The Diamondbacks starting rotation has had a habit of being sunk by the “Blow Up Inning” over the last couple seasons, and after the first inning tonight, I thought Soroka was just another member of the club. In a rare twist on that tired trope, the Diamondbacks offense punched through with their own […]
The Phillies gazed upon their scoreless streak and said: no more. And so it was, in the bottom of the first inning on April 10th, 2026, that Trea Turner singled to left, and Kyle Schwarber walked, and Bryce Harper hit one to right to score Turner. The scoreless streak thus passed away at the age […]

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Diamondbacks: Let’s talk about it.
Which team is projected as better? On 9 April, FanGraphs projected the Phillies to win more games (89 vs 81). Nevertheless, both teams have significant odds of reaching the playoffs (68% and 35%). And either team could win this series. Why cheer for the Diamondbacks? The Diamondbacks values include don’t cheat by taking performance enhancing […]
Happy Friday one and all! The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL are barreling towards the 2026 NFL Draft and Jess and I are back to discuss the offensive tackles. This is a position of need for the Arizona Cardinals, so we went hard in the paint in order to get you prepared […]
Considering the competition, a .500 record on the Phillies’ six-game road trip was disappointing. But considering the stadiums they had to play in, the result was acceptable. Can we just burn Oracle Park to the ground? The Phillies will now have nine straight games at home. It’s still plenty early in the season, but with […]
Diamondbacks News (New York Post) Mets waste Nolan McLean’s strong start as pen falters late in loss to Diamondbacks For six-plus innings Thursday night, Nolan McLean dazzled at Citi Field. He allowed just a pair of hits and his stuff was especially filthy, as Arizona hitters were largely overmatched. But lefty Eduardo Rodríguez was nearly […]
What is the status of the Arizona Cardinals’ receiver room? GM Monti Ossenfort has done a great job at supplying this group with talent. And yet, players get hurt, and suddenly the situation becomes dire, and backups become the norm. As long as Michael Wilson and Marv Harrison can remain vertical, the receiver group is […]
