In case you still haven’t figured out what this blog is here to celebrate, I give you the top of the 8th inning in last night’s D’backs v. Marlins game (which the D’backs led 7-0 at the top of the 6th):

Inning totals: 10 Runs (Marlins franchise record), 8 Hits, 2 Errors, 1 passed ball, 14 Marlins ABs, and the worst collapse in D’backs history.
Such a performance can only be described by two words: Epic Fail.
See ya next year D’back fans…
There are no more Dbacks fans. Just lifeless shells offering an unfocused gaze to the world, their eyes like the corroded contacts of a dead car battery. People at the games are mentally checking out the minute their asses hit the seats, morbidly thankful for a three-hour shitfest performed by an organization with bigger problems than their own.
