I don’t feel a lick of sympathy. I hope the Diamondbacks lose 100 games every year until they’re contracted out of the league. While they aren’t patently evil like the Dodgers, ridiculously uncooperative and annoying like the Rockies, or as bland and frustrating as the Padres, never forget that the Diamondbacks have a world championship. The Giants have slogged through decade after decade in San Francisco, losing painful playoff series without winning the World Series, and the Diamondbacks flitted around for four freaking seasons before the Phillies donated Curt Schilling to them for a collection of ne’r-do-wells and chumps. Then the Phillies’ karmic reward was that they’d win a championship in the same decade.
Also, Scott Hairston was drafted and developed by the Diamondbacks.
And people wonder why Giants fans are so bitter.
