Despite reports to the contrary, news of Wayne Gretzky’s decision to resign was not broken on Marcus Fitzgerald’s Twitter page. Gretzky held out as long as he could before walking away and justifiably took a lot of heat during the preseason for leaving the organization in limbo. Will the Coyotes hire a new coach a week before the season? How is that possible, since ownership can’t sign [...]

Kind of like hiring a young man with [...]

ON On: Mark Reynolds (from the 18th inning) Reynolds' three-run homer mercifully ended the 18-inning marathon the Diamondbacks found themselves in on Sunday. Sure, the blast came off of a Padres' infielder who was called on to pitch, but a home run is a home run, and Reynolds sure put a jolt into it. On: Mercury Rookie DeWanna Bonner Bonner started [...]

One has to wonder exactly what meetings between Josh Byrnes and Bob Melvin were like this offseason when discussing the direction of this team. Byrnes: Well, let's see, we have on the bags, Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third... Melvin: That's what I want to find out. Byrnes: I say Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third. It probably didn't [...]
