So much for not wanting to make a move. According to SI.com the Diamondbacks have offered Chad Tracy to the Reds for power hitting outfielder Adam Dunn. The Diamondbacks made a play for Adam Dunn, offering first baseman Chad Tracy. Another National League team also is said to have called about Dunn, a slugger who's drawn surprisingly little interest. Reds GM Walt Jocketty could also keep Dunn, who's a free agent after [...]

With Oregon starting to play under George Horton in 2009, there will be no excuse for the Pac-10 not to at least entertain the idea of holding an annual baseball tournament. Kendall Rogers of Rivals.com outlines some of the possible benefits of such a tournament, mainly highlighting fringe teams like Washington State who would have a better shot at the field of 64 with a decent showing in [...]

Mike Tulumello of the East Valley Tribune had an interesting blog post today. He quotes Matt Leinart saying “I know at this point last year, I had no clue. A little bit, but really had no clue what was going on. This year, I feel like I do. I have a command of the offense.” Nothing like your starting quarterback admitting he was clueless last year.

About a week ago, mysterious pictures of Steve Nash and Baron Davis on a tandem bicycle appeared on the internet. I wrote them off as some extremely weird celebration Davis had after signing his new contract, or an NBA point guard convention gone wrong (although there were no pictures of Jason Kidd and Tony Parker playing leap frog or one giving piggy back rides to the other, so it can't [...]

The NBA Draft has come and gone. So has the Vegas Summer League. Most of the attractive names in free agency have either re-upped with their previous teams, or relocated to new ones. Basketball fans will have the Olympics to tide them over until NBA training camps start this fall. There's been a lot of jockeying for position, especially in the Western Conference. Some teams have completely revamped, some teams have [...]

No Mark Teixeira, no problem. At least that's what Diamondbacks general manager Josh Byrnes seems to believe. In an interview with Sportsline.com's Scott Miller, Byrnes expressed that the Diamondbacks don't really have a plan b now that Teixeira is a member of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (insert name joke here). "We believe in our club. The two trades we've made (acquiring reliever Jon Rauch and first baseman Tony Clark) have helped [...]

I'll admit, after a long day yesterday and the poor showing by the Diamondbacks the night before, I didn't have much of a desire to tune into the Padres D-Backs game last night. I figure I'd miss another lack luster performance by the snakes offense and not have to suffer through watching the Padres be...well the Padres. I was detached from the game for the first few innings to say the least [...]

I'll have a more in-depth piece later on this week on this topic...I don't have the time to do it now.
