« When good things happen to bad teams »

Put your finger in the air and wave it around in a horizontal circle.

Your 2004 Arizona Diamondbacks have actually done another neat thing this year, which brings the total up to: 2.

Chad Tracy's single off Eric Gagne tied up the game 5-5 in the top of the 9th, thus breaking Gagne's streak of 84 consecutive saves -- a streak that went back to 2002 (not counting the 2003 All-Star Game) (and I don't).

Everyone's talking about the game, yet Arizona still lost that game, 6-5.

Put that with Randy Johnson's perfect game, and that's all you will take away from this year.

Oh, maybe Casey Daigle's hot fiancee, Jennie Finch, gets honorable mention as the third highlight, but Daigle was sent back down to AAA Tucson because he is not very good.

Brenly's history, which just kinda happened while I was away. The interim manager is third-base coach Al Pedrique. Woo. Someone get Bobby Valentine one the phone.

Robin Yount resigned too, because of his loyalty or something to Brenly.

But if anyone has Gagne's number (I mean, if that's possible), it might be Arizona. The numbers are just as good, but his last blown save before the streak of 84 began was also against the Diamondbacks. He only has five career blown saves, and three of them are against Arizona.
