In The Zona: Dragic to the Rescue? 8/18/08


Goran Dragic to the Phoenix Suns Rescue?

On this week’s edition of In The Zona, we talk Adam Dunn v. Manny Ramirez, Dragic to the Rescue?…And would you rather have this: Matt Leinart or that: Kurt Warner

Now lets do this:

Topic 1: Diamondbacks

  • Adam Dunn trade, does it give the Diamondbacks enough to hold off the Dodgers and be a legit World Series contender?
  • Can Randy reach 300?
  • What do you do with the lineup when Upton returns and should Eric Byrnes be aloud to return?

Topic 2: Suns Backup PG

  • Goran Dragic signs 4 year deal with the Suns, is he the right fit at back up point guard?
  • Have the Suns off season moves made them better than last season

Topic 3: Cards QB Situation

  • Should Kurt Warner or Matt Leinart be the Cardinals starter?
  • Preseason impressions?

FASTCAST: D’backs aren’t Dunn yet.


Adam Dunn to the D’backs

No, the D’backs aren’t Dunn yet. Greg and I sit down to discuss the Diamondback’s acquisition of Adam Dunn. It’s one of the biggest deals (that we can remember) that has come after the non-waiver trade deadline in years. Give her a listen and then let us know what YOU think:

  • Do you like the Adam Dunn deal?
  • Does this give the D’backs enough to take the division from the Dodgers?
  • Does Dunn’s lack of hitting for average scare you at all?

AZSH Roundtable on 1060 AM: Manny Ramirez, Trade Deadline and the Quan!


Manny Ramirez is now a Dodger (AFP/Getty Images/File/Lisa Blumenfeld)On this week’s 1060 AM Roundtable, we talk about the Manny Ramirez trade, the D’backs lack of trades and the Anquan Boldin “contract situation.” Catch us each week and every week at 10:20 AM only on Calling All Sports Saturday on 1060 AM The Fan:

1. The Dodgers landed slugger Manny Ramirez from the Red Sox, and the worst part about the whole thing is that the D’backs stood pat. What was your reaction to the trade?
2. Do you think the D’backs should have made a move for Mark Teixeira, Jason Bay or Adam Dunn? Or had they done enough already?
3. Anquan Boldin has been making such a fuss over his current contract. Who do you side with on this one, the team or the Quan?

In The Zona - Trade Deadline Edition 7/29/08


(AP Photo/Tom Mihalek)  Is Mark Teixeira going to the D-backs?

On this week’s edition of In The Zona, we delve deep into Diamondbacks trade talk on, Suns offseason rumors…Anquan, did you say something??? And we talk some Pac-10 scheduling….

We also welcome to the show our new co-host, Vince Marotta!

Now lets do this:

  • Arizona Diamondbacks. Do they need to make a move? Does trading for Mark Texieira, or ManRam(sounds painful to me) make sense?
  • Is Anquan Boldin justified in his complaint about the Cardinals?
  • Matt Barnes joins the Suns but what’s the next move?
  • Can the University of Arizona really be ripped for their weak none conference schedule?
  • Will Randy Johnson get to 300?

On this week’s 1060 AM Roundtable, we talk about the re-acquisition of Tony Clark, Brandon Webb having to pitch in the All-Star game and Tyronn Lue opting for the Milwaukee Bucks instead of the Suns. Catch us each week and every week at 10:20 AM only on Calling All Sports Saturday on 1060 AM The Fan:

  1. What does the D’backs acquisition of Tony Clark mean for this team? Do they still need to make other moves?
  2. Brandon Webb pitched a scoreless inning in the all-star game this week, but Webb should not have even pitched. As a D’backs fan, were you upset that Webb and Clint Hurdle were forced into this position?
  3. Tyronn Lue opts for the Milwaukee Bucks this past week over the Suns? Do you see any hope in the Suns offseason?

AZSH on 1060 AM The Fan Roundtable: Talk About the D-back’s Woes


Brandon Webb and the Diamondbacks continue to slide…

On this week’s 1060 AM Roundtable, we all get together and discuss the Diamondbacks woes of late…and while that is much too much discussion for one ten minute segment, we do our best:

  1. Is it time for the Diamondbacks to find a way to get Randy Johnson the DL?
  2. Is Micah Owings more valuable to this team as a position player?
  3. Is Eric Byrnes enough to improve this offense, or does the team need to go out and get someone?

In The Zona - Suns Head Coach Edition 5/17/08


Who will be the next Suns head coach?On this week’s edition of In The Zona, we delve deep into the Suns new head coaching search, we talk D-backs and their recent bullpen woes, as well as slam on Lute Olson….

We also welcome to the show guest host and valley sports figure, Vince Marotta. It was a pleasure having him on and we hope to continue the tradition next week. Now lets do this:

  • The Big Story
    1. Who will be the next head coach of your Phoenix Suns?
    2. Should Steve Kerr and Robert Sarver start to rebuild now, or give it another go next year?

In the Zona Exclusive: 1060 Roundtable all about the D’Backs


Brandon Webb and the D-backs are the best team in the league…so far…(AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)

Matt and Troy joined Mike Grose to delve deep into the Diamondbacks recent skid, there defensive mishaps and the return of Doug Davis. They also talk about the future of Mike D’Antoni and his possible replacement.


1. Does this pitching staff completely depend on the health of Brandon Webb and Dan Haren?
2. Does this team need to make any changes to its defensive discipline in order to establish itself as the legitimate front runner in the NL West?
3. How big is the news that Doug Davis is completely cancer free, and does this relax the team in someway knowing that one of their veterans is coming back healthy?

In The Zona: We Have a Listener!


Charles Barkley and Golf is One Ugly CoupleIn the Zona is back and ready to rock! Matt, Greg, and Troy are all together again for yet another breath-taking edition of Arizona’s best sports podcast.

This week they talk Diamondbacks, Suns, and the Kevin O’Neill bust, along with their Final Four Championship picks and a “This or That” composed by the show’s very first listener. It’s a shorter show than the norm, but good things come in small packages…


3 and Out

1) Kevin O’Neill is out. Lute is finding someone else. Good, Bad, or Ugly?
2) Suns rally from 22 to beat the Nuggets last night, get robbed by officials last week. The team is finally coming around with Shaq in the mix; are they becoming unstoppable?
3) Sun Devils lose in the NIT Quarterfinals to Florida 57-70. Are you impressed by the showing or did they fall short?

Bonus Question* Doug Davis Thyroid Cancer. Diamondbacks win the opener. What can we expect this year?

This or That

This: Barkley’s Golf Swing or That: Shaq’s Free Throws
