Let’s get real for a moment, Arizona Diamondbacks fans.
Yes, your hometown heroes are off to a reasonably good start this year and are definitely in the swing of things in the National League West. The hitting’s been pretty decent over the first month of the 2013 season, thanks to numerous hot swats from the likes of Paul Goldschmidt, Aaron Hill, and Gerardo Parra.
And what about Arizona’s pitching? Eh, not so much. It’s been a roller coaster ride to put it mildly. One game will see the D-backs’ starters or the bullpen sucking the big one, and the next night they’ll redeem themselves by getting huge outs.
Here’s hoping that Arizona will have its shizzle straight when the San Francisco Giants invade the Valley for their first visit to Chase Field, 401 East Jefferson Street, this season. After all, the defending World Series champs boast such fearsome sluggers as Angel Pagan, Pablo Sandoval, and Hunter Pence.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
