Early season report

This is going to be my forum for random and potentially unnecessary comments on the Diamondbacks this season. I've been a baseball fan since I was little, following at first the Cubs, then the Rockies for a bit, and cheering for the Diamondbacks from their first game. As much as I do like other teams, the D-backs are my favorite. I've followed them closer than any other baseball team, so I'm more attached. While I did enjoy the 2001 World Series (who doesn't love seeing the Yankees lose? If you said "I don't," then you should probably read something else) I also did suffer through the 2003 and 2004 seasons. And suffer I did. You don't leave in the seventh inning, no matter how many runs you're down. If you do, you miss things like seeing Mark Grace pitch an inning.

So, check in sporadically. We're almost a month in to the season, have a record of 13-8, and a win tonight puts us in first place for- what, two years or so? Not bad for a team that only won 51 games last year. We've already passed a quarter of our wins this season. We're producing some runs, starting pitching seems pretty solid, and Brandon Lyons looks like he might be the closer we hoped Kim and Mantei were going to be. All in all, a promising first month of the season.
