    Walk-off bomb off Hoffman for Drew, giving the 'backs a 3-2 win over the fathers. The win snaps their 5-game losing streak and evens their record at 11-11.
    Hoffman got owned in that game- awesome! Too bad Sportscenter only talked about Peavy's K's, not the fact the Pads lost.

    It's good to see the Diamondbacks respond with another couple wins after. Up to 13-11 now, just passing the Padres and just one-half game behind the Giants for second, and just one-n-one-half behind the Dodgers for first. Diamondbacks sweep this series, and Dodgers lose the next two, back at the top! They have Edgar Gonzalez today and Johnson on Sunday.

    Diamondbacks win 5-4, and have now won four in a row. They have Johnson on the mound today vs. Matt Morris. I hope we get the first three innings Johnson as opposed to the last three innings Johnson. If he's sharp, I think the Diamondbacks win.

    Diamondbacks did their part. Last I saw Dodgers/Padres were tied in the 14th.

    Nice- good to see the snakes coming together. They had to make it interesting again today, of course, but a W is a W!

    Webb pitches 7 strong innings, allowing just one run, and the Diamondbacks bats wake up against the Dodgers end rotation starter and overused bullpen for a 9-1 win.

    It's the sixth in a row for Arizona, and with the win they leapfrog the Dodgers for first place in the Division.

    Hernandez vs. Penny tommorow.

    SHould be a good one. If the Diamondbacks can score a few runs early for Livan, I like their chances. The Dodgers can't afford to take Penny out early because their bullpen is just taxed right now. Get to him early, make him work, see if he can't have 100 pitches by the sixth or seventh inning. Force the Dodgers to either leave him in and possibly get a loss or take him out and tire their pen even more in face of Wednesday's game.

    Young, Drew and Quentin are starting to hit. If Jackson can get - and stay - healthy, contribute at a similar clip and Webb and Johnson pitch the best each can, they'll be a tough series every series.

    Dodgers' pitcher Braxton choked on the save, so let's hope the Snakes have another run in them tonight. Then it's time for PAPA GRANDE!

    Yeah... I'll take 9-of-10 save chances though.

    Still, that one sucked!

    It's the official, "With all them youngsters, the Diamondbacks sure as have a brighter future than do the LA Geezers, errr... Dodgers" thread...

    Enjoy your stay at the top. Once this offense gets healthy and going, it'll be interesting to see how far this team can go.

    Well I never said the Diamondbacks didn't have a nice group of youngsters. Just that your team sucks. Your buddy is the one over here is the one that's trying to call out the Dodgers farm system.

    I said nothing of your farm system. With all your overpaid geezers getting the play, however, as long as your within sniffing distance of a division le, I don't see how you'll be working them in. You can't exactly pay them all that money to sit...

    Diamondbacks hardly suck. They just aren't as experienced as the Dodgers right now, but soon that will change.

    As far as farm systems go, Arizona's has been amongst the NLs (and MLBs) best for the last four years and is currently ranked as high as anyones in the bigs. They have so much talent they'll never even get to play it all.

    Unlike the Dodgers, however, at least they are trying...

    So tell me smart guy who exactly are these overpaid geezers that we're locked into that is impeding our youngsters? You do realize that there is still baseball after this year.. right?

    The Diamondbacks do suck. Your boy Drew will never amount to anything. His genetics are ed. Anybody related to J.D. is doomed for failure.

    And your farm system still doesn't compare to the Dodgers.

    So says??? You??? Ok....

    As for contracts, they could all be up at years end, fine, they will all still be a year behind in development than the Diamondbacks.

    Which organization was the last to have a player win a major award? Oh.. that would be Arizona just last season. Which organization was the last to win a playoff series? Oh... Arizona? Umm... Yeah! Which Organization was the last to win a le? Yeah, again, I'm going to have to go with Arizona... HEY! What do ya know, I'm right again!

    "And your farm system still doesn't compare to the Dodgers."

    OK... here's what an expert says...

    The Good Stuff...

    According to this system, the Diamondbacks have the greatest concentration of offensive "studs." They have 11 guys who are 90th-percentile or better against their age group; in other words, nearly 25% of their system is in the top 10% of minor leaguers.

    Here are the top five farm systems for hitters:
    1.Los Angeles Dodgers
    2.Arizona Diamondbacks (trailing the Dodgers by less than 1%)
    Colorado Rockies
    Cleveland Indians
    San Diego Padres

    The top five for pitchers:
    Minnesota Twins
    Cleveland Indians
    Chicago Cubs
    Philadelphia Phillies
    Milwaukee Brewers

    Putting it all together, here's how each team's farm system ranks:
    1.Los Angeles Dodgers
    2.Cleveland Indians
    3.Arizona Diamondbacks


    Who's gettin' a head start?

    Arizona...

    By the way, this isn't counting players like Tracy or Jackson, just players who can still be considered "rookies" and minor leaguers.

    And another...

    Nightmare on the Farm
    By Bryan Smith

    Ranking farm systems is a practice that I generally avoid. It's simply too difficult to come up with a solid ranking, as one should effectively balance the number of and degree of top-heavy players, the depth in a system, as well as those that have recently graduated and been traded. It's a lot to balance.

    Instead, most of the time I like to stick to tiers. We know that at the top of any organizational ranking list, in no particular order, should be the Dodgers, Diamondbacks, Marlins and Angels.


    Baseball Prospectus also had Arizona as it's #1 just last year, though I can't find that article. It may be archived now, and I haven't acess as I am not a subscriber.

    If the Diamondbacks prospects are limited, then so are the Dodgers.

    Unless of course you magic Kool-Aid told ya differently

    You not getting the point, was the point. You can't blame an idiot for being an idiot anymore than you can blame a wall for hurting you when you, as an idiot, continue to dash your head against it.

    You, my friend, are the idiot -> <- The wall, common sense

    Just because you're hittin' it, doesn't mean you're gettin' it.

    Like I said, so what are you trying to say?

    That the Dodgers have no future because they are nothing but geezers? Isn't that what you were saying?

    I mean you posted multiple articles saying the Dodgers have the best farm system (as well as having a better team this year), so I'm trying to understand what you're trying to say.
