Diamondbacks showing their real colors

What's next? Back to Purple and teal? Mr. Byrne's I am officially putting you into the dumpster with your red uniforms, bad trades and
the Bo-Mel debate, honestly go back to Boston and try to manage your household, cause you certainly can't manage this once proud team that has fallen flat on their face and appear to be the most embarrasing team in baseball.
With the 10 Million dollar contract to a man with the same name to the letting go of a soon to be American League batting champion, I honestly cannot figure out what your doing, unless someone is paying you to destroy this team right before our very eyes. Not only is the team playing poorly, they are becoming the laughing stock of MLB.
Why is Tracy setting on the bench? Is it because you want him to learn how to be the strike out king from what appears our NEW 3rd baseman. Do you honestly believe a minor league player is better then Tracy?
This team has always played with heart and all I can see is you have single handedly destroyed it.
You have created a hostile work environment and I am hoping Mr. Clark takes you out behind the shed and knocks some sence into you.
You are a disgrace to this team and all of Arizona, could you please wirte your own pink slip before we do it for you.
Maybe we can find those "gay" Purple and Teal uniforms put them on and let you take the "Sedona" Red back to Boston and stick it where the sun don't shine.

Melvins firing a blessing

I am an avid Diamondbacks fan, but have to admit seeing Bob Melvin go is a blessing. Im tired of this Mad scientist label he has been given, what Bob is isnt a sceintist at all, maybe Mad is more correct. Anyone who knows anything about a working relationship is that consistancy is a must, this is what Bob failed to conquer in his leadership role. Take Chad Tracy for instance, he suffered a major injury 2 years ago, one that players rarely return from in 100% major league fashion, this spring he was finally healthy again hitting over 312 with an OBP of 400+. So what does Bo-mel do? Well lets say what he didnt do first. Chad lost his starting job at 3rd base to the leagues leading strike out king, Reynolds. Chad was placed on 1st base, which he can play, but thats not the point, he deserves his job back if you ask me, well Bo-mel decided Chad was a part timer and playing him only when righties were pitching, even though Chad proved at the end of last year (bating 299) against lefties. So here we have Chad playing 1 in 3 games and whn his batting slumped he was benched for a rookie from triple A. Here's the problem, why is Justin Upton playing? why is Byrne's playing? Why is Reynolds playing, why is Jackson playing, all of these everyday starters are batting lower, yet still given the chance to play everyday and lts not mention some are under .200; like Snyder, OMG what happened to him. Well what happened to him is what is happening to most of the Dbacks, their bats suck and have since they started the merry go round of players. So settle down find some consistancy and maybe the bats will come alive, or maybe look at the other coaches and clean house.
