* Opening Day is here and the D-backs open with a win over the Colorado Rockies. It’s the first of 86 according to Vegas; the first of 88 according to the Baseball Prospectus, and the first of 82 according the most pessimistic of analysts. So, if we split the difference and project the amount of D-backs wins this year to be 85- would you go over or under??? Burnsy says over.
* They missed on Rick Pitino. They missed on Mark Few. They even missed on Jeff Capel, and then Tim Floyd. So, how can U of A’s 5th choice for the job be seen as anything but a disappointment? Or is Miller really a step below those previous candidates? If Pitino is a 10, Few is an 8, Floyd and Capel are 7s - what does that make Miller: 6? Is that really that big of a step above (now Memphis head coach) Josh Pastner?
* Just when you thought he was in, Karlos Dansby might pull his long-term contract back off the table. He’s also reportedly pulled the plug on his agent. Surely not a good sign for the Cards.
Speaking of bad signs, a blowout loss in the Suns biggest game of the season isn’t a good one for anyone who believes the current roster is good enough to come back next year. Alvin Gentry may be among that group. Judging from his reluctance to endorse the current group of Suns coming back intact in 09-10’. You be the judge.
