Latest blog entries from Phoenix teams across every league
It feels so good to be back to doing recaps! Was a long offseason. Today was a picture perfect spring training evening in Peoria. The Dbacks took on the Mariners for their first night game of the season under a picturesque Arizona sunset. What a night for baseball. The Dbacks pitching tonight shined against the […]
Last time I was at Peoria Sports Complex, I was getting a COVID shot. Wasn’t yesterday either. Weird what sticks in your mind. Anyway, tonight sees the D-backs heading over for a potential get-together with Josh Naylor, who signed a long-term contract – 5 year, $92,500,000 – with Seattle. Though it’ll be a little odd […]
LA’s loss to Phoenix on Thursday was a frustrating one for the Lakers, considering how hard they played in the fourth quarter only to fall to the Suns by just three points. Royce O’Neale was the hero for Phoenix, knocking down what turned out to be the game-winning three with just 1.7 seconds left in […]
We’re coming towards the end of this little series, which has served its purpose of keeping us ticking over during the long, bleak weeks before spring training gets under way. But if we were somewhat self-referential with yesterday’s question about the Diamondbacks’ fanbase, I want to go fully self-referential today. Let’s have a love-fest! We […]
The Arizona Cardinals are well-represented at this year’s NFL Combine in Indianapolis. At the Combine, 319 players are in attendance. In addition to players being interviewed by NFL clubs, team head coaches and GMs are also interviewed. And a bevy of questions is always asked.

How many “worst losses of the season” in a row could the Lakers string together in the coming week, because it seems like they’re trying to do as much. After a lifeless loss to the Celtics and handing a game away to the Magic, the Lakers went to Phoenix against an undermanned Suns team and […]
In a run of frustrating defeats, the Lakers keep topping themselves. Facing a Suns team without either Devin Booker or Dillon Brooks, the Lakers had a horrid defensive showing to drop a third straight game, 113-110. In another back-and-forth finish, LeBron James tied the game with a putback with just over 20 seconds remaining before […]
Record: 3-4. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 1-6. Well, if there was an award for Comment of the Thread, I’d have to give it to myself for my sarcastic suggestion after the D-backs got on the board: “The comeback starts here!” To be fair, Arizona had been trailing 8-0 at that point. Indeed, they […]
The Arizona Cardinals have a problem still. They are no longer the worst, but they are now the second worst in terms of grades from the NFLPA, which will no longer make the grades public won’t stop reporters from checking things out, and giving us the information. ESPN’s Kalyn Kahler dropped the hammer: The Pittsburgh […]
Surprise! No, really: Surprise. That’s where the D-backs are playing once again today, returning to the scene of the recent victory over the Texas Rangers, to play the other inhabitants of the complex, the Kansas City Royals. Never mind, it’s at Salt River Fields. The D-backs pitching has still left a bit to be desired, […]
The Royals will try to end their two-game losing skid this afternoon against the local Arizona Diamondbacks. Ryan Bergert pitches in his second game, after throwing a scoreless inning in his first time out. The royals won’t start many regulars today, with Lane Thomas at DH, and a good look at young hitters Jac Caglianon […]
Time to stare in the mirror, I guess! I’ve been part of the Diamondbacks’ fanbase, more or less since I came out to Arizona in November 2000. Initially, casually, but then steadily more actively, opening up this site just before the 2005 season. Since then I’ve been through the highs of a National League pennant, […]
James Conner. Trey Benson. Bam Knight. All Arizona Cardinals running backs. What else do they have in common? Each one became injured this past season and was handed a bedroll because IR was their new bed and breakfast home. Arizona has a running back problem.

There are two NFL events that you can bet that everybody from every NFL club is in attendance: the Senior Bowl and the Combine. And they are in session about a month apart and are both by invitation only. The Combine got into full swing on Tuesday. RELATED: DEFENSIVE OFFSEASON NEEDS FOR THE CARDINALS At […]
The Lakers (34-23) are back on the road for the next two games, starting on Thursday when they play against the Phoenix Suns (33-26). This is the final match between the two teams this season, as the purple and gold look to tie the season series. Start time and TV schedule Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Phoenix […]
Record: 2-4. Change on 2025: 0. 5-inning record: 1-5 And it was going so well, too… The D-backs jumped on the Dodgers’ Roki Sasaki in the bottom of the first. Nolan Arenado doubled in Geraldo Perdomo, and Ildemaro Vargas then doubled in a pair for a quick 3-0 lead. But it was more or less […]
The Dodgers keep their undefeated start to the spring alive, improving to 5-0, as they defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks by a final score of 10-7 on Wednesday. Roki Sasaki made his spring debut, which was also his first start since May of last season. Sasaki struggled over 1 1/3 innings of work, tossing 36 pitches […]
On the front-half of a back-to-back, the Boston Celtics faced off against a short-handed Phoenix Suns team, securing a commanding 97-81 victory. The Celtics weren’t at full-strength themselves, though, Jaylen Brown missing the game with a knee contusion. It was a night where the offense was dragging, but the defense picked up all the slack. […]
The Evil Empire arrives at Salt River Fields, and the run they had last post-season is ongoing. The Dodgers have won their first four games, outscoring their opponents by a whopping 34-6 margin so far. So let’s hope this is not an omen of things to come in the regular season. But we are sending […]

We’re in that slow period between the Super Bowl and the new league year where it sometimes feels like the NFL world has ground to a halt. And that makes it a perfect time to ask: Where in the world are our Revenge of the Birds readers? We don’t want or need your address or […]
#1 – Two underdogs with similarities When the season started, rare were those who expected the Phoenix Suns and the Celtics to be competing for playoff spots in their respective conferences. The franchise from Arizona traded their superstar Kevin Durant and had to let Bradley Beal go to rebuild a team around Devin Booker and […]
[Dbacks.com] Soroka fans 3 in D-backs debut with World Baseball Classic approaching – Soroka allowed one run on two hits over two innings while walking one and striking out three in the D-backs’ 6-4 win. “Felt good for the most part,” Soroka said. “Just a little bit stiff early, trying a little bit too hard […]
The Arizona Cardinals have needs all over their roster. Name a position group, and new bodies are wanted. Free agency is almost here, which should solve many of the issues, but the draft is where teams are built. While the Cardinals own the #3 overall pick in Round 1, whoever they decide to take will […]
It’s a well-known fact that the Arizona Cardinals’ offensive line needs help. With a premium on the guard position. Free agency can change this. The Cardinals can get a player or two and solve the issue. Then that would free up draft picks to choose other players of need. RELATED: FREE AGENCY TRACKER RASHEED WALKER […]
