It's always fun when the Astros and the Diamondbacks get together. Mostly because it looks like an intrasquad game, seeing as the two squads have exactly the same color schemes. Of course, the Diamondbacks call there shade of red "Sedona Red", while the Astros sport "brick red". In case you had any trouble grasping [...]

Paul Daugherty of the Cincinnati Enquirer sure doesn't like Adam Dunn. At least that's the impression you get when you read his article, Dunn too much to afford, today on Cincinnati.com.
