Tweet of the Week
"Wow, that's weird! Metal sinks!" @MikeJackBauer exclaims after a young man predicted at a replica 2001 World Series ring would float in the Chase Field pool.
— Zach Buchanan (@ZHBuchanan) May 11, 2018
Let's maybe spend more money on public education.
And we can’t blame Mike for not trying to sway the decision...
I saw he had the “float” sign & thrice gave hints - even asked if he was sure once he initially said “float.”
— Bauer (@MikeJackBauer) May 11, 2018
Nevertheless, he (foolishly) persisted. https://t.co/wUMkg33LFZ
And here’s the ring in question, in case you’re thinking it might have been some kind of cheap plastic knockoff:

If the Dbacks beat the Dodgers in the playoffs this year I've compiled a list of about twenty people I will tweet "fuck you" at
— Katherine Wirick (@kwirick) May 11, 2018
We’ll allow the profanity, just there. :) Although the odds of the Dodgers facing anyone in the playoffs this year are looking pleasingly longer by the series. #GetThePopcorn
@Isaac_2020 just bought raffle tickets at the dbacks game and said “if I win this 15k I’m gonna buy us such nice bedroom furniture”..... is this what growing up feels like??

You mean we were *this close* to a nightly lineup intro of “and here’s the batting Order of the Phoenix”? #harrypotter

The Games in Diamondbacks Tweets
Diamondbacks 1, Nationals 2
Stands at Chase Field aren't very full, making the #Dbacks Zack Greinke grunts from the mound very audible. Greinke is in full, mid-season grunt form tonight.
— Bernie Pleskoff (@BerniePleskoff) May 11, 2018
If my fiancé changes her mind my first move will be to slide into Greinke’s changeup’s DMs

Why I love our team’s beat writers. It began with this Tweet:
The Rockies' ripoff of the Sausage Race is a toothbrush against a tube of toothpaste against a tooth. It is terrible.
— Adam McCalvy (@AdamMcCalvy) May 12, 2018
which triggered a stalwart (if, I suspect, tongue in cheek) defense from Nick Piecoro
@AdamMcCalvy This is an insult. Bristles gets after it.
— Nick Piecoro (@nickpiecoro) May 12, 2018
And then Steve Gilbert got into it, too...
Nick loves the Dental Dash. And don't give him my title. If anyone is an instigator it's me.
— Steve Gilbert (@SteveGilbertMLB) May 12, 2018
Is there also a participant that’s tooth decay and gingivitis. If not what’s the point
— ryan mceuen (@makattack71) May 12, 2018
There's Toothy, Bristles and Fresh

I spy, with my little eye...@Dbacks Flag Lady!!! Been missing her thus far! Great to see her at #ChaseField! pic.twitter.com/5VImWYX4es

Chase Field WiFi is enough to make me agree with the team that we need a new stadium.

See, the Dbacks love their moms more than the Nationals. Oh, you called her? WE WORE The MOST HIDEOUS UNIFORMS EVER. TOP THAT. #WIN #WSHvsARI

Because you can’t win them all.

Hey @Dbacks I think the guy behind the plate wearing the giant satellite dish is rebroadcasting the game illegally?
— Fred Dell'Ergo (@fdellergo) May 16, 2018
Some were more invested in the outcome of this than others...
This guy bet me that if the brewers win tonight I have to go on a date with him so the @Dbacks better come through and save me from this one.
— Pau✨ (@lana_del_paul) May 16, 2018
Phew. Though you have to feel for “this guy” who chose to bet on the only game the D-backs ended up winning this week!
Diamondbacks 2, Brewers 8
And, although we ended the week on a pretty dismal note... Why we still have the best players in baseball.
Just a little @Dbacks day baseball!!! @ArchieBradley7 #LetsGoDbacks #GenerationDbacks pic.twitter.com/1tsxMDnjs2
