It's the D'Backs 4th year of existence & Colangelo bought a winner. I hope he doesn't do as the Marlins did & dismantle it next spring.
RE: the Yanks & Braves-It would be awfully difficult for anybody to beat the Yanks, this year or the recent past-they've won the championship 6 of the last 7 year. That is beyond dynasty. Should they piss me off this year & beat AZ, it would be 4 in a row.
Bobby Cox is one hell of a manager-period. He has had outstanding pitching every year & good hitting most years. Just never when it REALLY counted. But, you can't knock 10 years on top of the NL.
Brock, don't be so sure about the 'Backs fans-Phoenix is as fickle as L.A. This year it'll be exciting-it's still new, next year+, who knows. The AZ fans were booing during the home games against St Louis. Remember, about half of Arizonas population is transplanted from east of the Mississippi River.
