I was talking to my dad today, and we were talking about the usual stuff. The Suns came up and how they are not very good. We talked about the Cardinals and how they did so well and how there is no way they will have the same team next year. We talked about the Coyotes and how...no, not really, who cares about hockey in Phoenix. Next came the Diamondbacks. Pitchers and catchers report February 14th. As soon as that happens, it will make it easier not to worry about the Suns. My Dad asks "where did Randy go?" I didn't know. I had lost track of the Big Unit. I just assumed that he would be back in a D-backs uniform. There were people you speculated that he would sign with a different team. But with the way he pitched last year, and his given success with the team, and let's not forget the fact that he was 5 wins away from his 300th career win, why wouldn't the D-backs bring him back. This is a future Hall of Famer. As an organization, you have to do all you can do to make sure that the 300th win happens wearing your uniform, right? Apparently not. Randy ended up signing with the San Francisco Giants. They signed him to a one year, $8million contract. Now, I know that is a lot of money, but in baseball terms, its really not. The Giants stole him. How can the D-backs let that happen? Its a great move for the Giants. Johnson will sell tickets, help giant fans forget about that Barry guy, help them win more games, and oh yea, he will get his 300th win. In a giants uniform. With the way pitching is now, Randy will most likely be the last guy to reach the 300 win milestone. I do not understand how the Diamondbacks let this happen. With the steroid issues going on, this is a great event to come along. Randy should be in our uniform, not in the uniform of one of our rivalries. When the Big Unit pitches against us, and he will ( we play the Giants 18 times), I hope he shuts us out. Shame on the Diamondbacks for letting this happen. Randy, here's hoping you have an awesome year, get your 300th win, and kick but when you pitch against the D-backs!Thursday, February 12, 2009
What Happened to Randy?

Who cares about hockey? I'd slam you for that except I don't really care about talking about it, just going to it. WooHoo.
Randy was not so nice to look at, that's why we let him go. Some GM's wife somewhere said, "he's an eyesore" so we sent him to CA. I'd agree with you though (WOW, mark that one in the book!), it is a shame that we didn't hold onto him. Randy even liked it in PHX, didn't he? He might have stayed with us for less than the 8mill.
What's done is done. Now, maybe more that hoping he kicks our butt when we play them, maybe you can calculate the chance of him getting is 300th win against us. That would be priceless, no?!
I don't like the way Randy looks either but man he can throw a ball like nobody's business. It is totally retarded that the Diamond Backs lost him. Is it a requirement that Arizona teams do stupid stuff like this to shoot themselves in the foot? This stuff makes me crazy! Az sports teams need to get it together and make smart choices so we can win!
