After we lost Jeff Mathis to ANOTHER injury, I asked Twitter, “Did our team bus run over a gypsy woman’s hand or something?” There were a couple of amusing replies:
The more likely scenario is that a dodgers fan with a sick sense of humor got ahold of a Monkey's Paw.

If I'm not mistaken, De La Rosa has an era around 80.00 with runners on base and a tie game or Dbacks losing #GuessingButPrettySure

Maybe now that football season is back & no will pay attention to the Dbacks anymore theyll start winning again like in April.

A loss feels inevitable tonight
— Michael McDermott (@MichaelMcD8393) August 22, 2017
Turn it red, fol... Oh, hang on - that doesn’t work here.
The @Dbacks are 1-0 in games that occur the day the sun disappears so we got that going for us.

Diamondbacks 7, Mets 4
DBacks go up 3-0 in the top of the first. Mets fan two seats over gets up, says "I know how this story ends." and leaves the game.

Someone ask Trump what his thoughts are on the Dbacks bullpen
— Richard (@dayngls) August 23, 2017
For amusement, have some Trump quotes which could certainly apply to the bullpen...
- Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.
- Everything in life is luck.
- Sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.
- It's always good to be underestimated.

#NoNoNoNoNoYes. Let’s end on a positive note.
I complain about them a lot but the DBacks have won more games by August 24, 2017 than they did in all of 2016. So that's cool.
