Hey, since Arizona's very own John McCain picked Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, the D-Backs have lost 8 out of 11, and are now in 2nd place. I know McCain and Palin will win on November 4, but since this is Sen. McCain's favorite baseball team, has this cursed the D-backs? I also guess this has not been a great year for Arizona's major league teams. Shaq could not help the Suns at all, they were eliminated in the 1st round by the Spurs, and then Mike D' Antoni was hired by the Knicks, and it looks like Phoenix will never get a chance at an NBA title. The Coyotes have been an NHL Draft Lottery participant every year since Jobing.com Arena opened, and they don't have a prayer, even if  coach Wayne Gretzky is still an icon in sports. And the Cardinals are going to be bad, as USC's Heisman winner Matt Leinart, after that preseason debacle against Oakland (What has other Trojan Heisman winners like Charles White and O.J. Simpson-post 6/12/94 done lately?) is a failure, and Kurt Warner will do a decent job, but another dismal year at a stadium that sounds like the University of Phoenix might join the Pac-10.  Oh if you're wondering: The D-backs wear red, the color of Republicans, the color of McCain.  The Dodgers wear blue, the color of Democrats, the color of The Chosen One The Disgusting One, Barack Hussein Obama. D-back fans, which do you rather have? John McCain or Barry Bonds Obama? Cindy McCain or Michelle Obama that poor example of a politician's wife? Sarah Palin or Joe Biden? Brandon Webb or Brad Penny? Eric Byrnes or Manny Ramirez that player wearing 99 and has dreadlocks? Bob Melvin or Joe Torre?  As a member of Gaslamp Ball, please read my signature. It says "Padres rule, Dodgers suck!" But since my Padres are struggling, D-Backs rule, Dodgers suck. Then everyone here at AZ Snakepit will know that the D-backs will win. And so will McCain and Palin. So from a member of Gaslamp Ball to everyone at AZ Snakepit, beat the Dodgers tonight, and I hope you can snap out of your 3-8 record since McCain chose Governor Palin. Change you can believe in,my arse! Go D-Backs, Go McCain!
