The Week in Dumpster Fir... Er, Diamondbacks Tweets

Not the BEST of weeks for the Diamondbacks, was it?

Football Fans And Competitive Eaters Attend Annual 'Wing Bowl'

I do not want to see another dumpster fire or “This is fine” image on my Twitter feed ever again. It’s simply lazy shitposting, and we’re better than that. There are a million more imaginative ways to express your disappointment with the team and its recent performance. Please use them. This includes the repurposing of other people’s Tweets, which are appropriate to our situation. For example, this seems particularly relevant, in an emotional sense.

There is a note pinned up next to the void:
"The void holds no data about you, does not wish to contact you, and does not care who you are, or what you scream."
Somehow, I find this oddly comforting. I leave, without screaming.#GDPR

Now if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to do more and we encourage that, okay? See the following for examples...

Dbacks are 7-15 since the Cardinals drafted Josh Rosen, and 0-5 since the Suns got the 1st pick, further confirming my suspicions that it's illegal for too many good things to happen to Phoenix-area sports teams at once.

The @Dbacks need to find their soul again. But in order to obtain it, they need to give up something in return. @ArchieBradley7 you know what you have to do... @AZSnakepit pic.twitter.com/hPGy5cIAEj

The Games in Diamondbacks Tweets

That goes a long way to explaining his control issues of late...

@Dbacks how ugly are your uniforms. Geez! Worst color combo ever. Mets announcers just ripped them. They are heinous. Please go back to any of your prior "less ugly" uniforms.

2015 called. They want their Tweet back. No, really: we are now in the third season of the new uniforms. They ain’t going away...

Diamondbacks 4, Mets 5

@Dbacks so I came into the @TGIFridays at Chase field. today for a beer. Guess what they didn't have the game on. huh. "oh is the game on" literally the #Dbacks home field.
— Rene De Leon (@rened67) May 20, 2018

Sad... And yet, I kinda feel the same way after the last 14 games!

Just as we all expected, the two highest OPS figures on the #Dbacks’ active roster on May 19th belong to Daniel Descalso and John Ryan Murphy.

Clay Buchholz’s #32 is going to look really nice next to 20, 42, 51 on the #Dbacks retired jersey list

It’s only one run that the Dbacks are down but it’s also a WHOLE run...

@Mike_Ferrin never do a game again!! Twice you made us think Mathis homered Good God!!

Diamondbacks 0, Brewers 1

I love Bob Brenly and Steve Berthiaume, but I feel like the better broadcast choice for the @DBacks right now is Werner Herzog.

WH voice: “These images are memories of long forgotten dreams. Dreams of winning the NL West.” Cave of Forgotten Dreams, which wasn’t nearly as good as Grizzly Man.

Diamondbacks 2, Brewers 9

On the bright side:
At least they aren’t going to lose another one run heartbreaker.

So we have that going for us. Which is nice.#Dbacks

Your job tweeting for this team has to be trying these days. Required to be positive and having to find charcoal colored linings to report upon. God speed AZ Dbacks Twitter staff.

Indeed. All hail we few, we happy few, we band of brothers...
