The Dogs of 2024

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the YEAR!

@jvhein2 @Jody_Jackson Who else?

@Jody_Jackson All these teams that lost the cash cow known as Ballys are slashing payroll.

Gonna miss Christian Walker big time. Always insightful to talk to …serious about his craft but always enjoying each day. Best of luck in Houston!

@jayhastings79 @Jody_Jackson Right?? He didn’t get an insane contract. We are spending more on players like Montgomery who we should’ve let go before his next season guarantee kicked in

@Jody_Jackson Hard to understand how we couldn’t at least match their offer

@JeffPassson Why wouldn’t AZ resign him? They signed Montgomery for more per year

“IM PRAYING FOR THE LORD TO DELIVER ME FROM PICK-SIXES”

I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the country. He was a beautiful and loving soul.

@dog_rates Love it. I don’t think that is the Tompkins Parade though?

Top 10 Dog Halloween Costumes of 2024!

@chuexsy @GoldyHappens I will say the dbacks spent a lot this off-season. Record spending by them I believe. Unfortunately it didn’t pan out and we’re stuck with these contracts.

@dgpacker @GoldyHappens Yes. And I’m grateful for that. It happened this century so it counts but I was also 1 at the time. I’d like to see a championship that’s in the social media age. Sick of sorry ass broke owners that don’t give a fuck.

Huge shoutout to Torey Lovullo for turning the best #DBacks roster since 2002 into a non playoff team, 2 worst Sept collapses in team history now belong to 2018 and 2024 Torey Lovullo! 111 loss 2021 also Torey! 2020 projected playoff team missed playoffs also Torey!

@AlexMurrieta @SSGLoder @GoldyHappens I mean no one would give him a big time long term contract. Not sure why the dbacks didn’t DFA him earlier in the year and now we are stuck with him next year for 20 something million. I do agree that no one saw the pitching being this bad. Most runs scored in mlb though

@SSGLoder @GoldyHappens Stop it lol. He’s been so bad this year that his career era is now over 4. Do that math. Look at his numbers since 21. No one saw it being THIS bad. Add in the excuses. 6.23 era in 117 inn. If you truly saw those numbers coming then props to you. Wish Hazen would of ran it by you

@chuexsy @GoldyHappens Have you heard of Bob Brenly?

@GoldyHappens He’s made great decisions and he’s made horrible decisions. Sometimes I wonder if anyone would be good enough to bring something to this city.

@DJLeMVP Only liability is that Grimace also has middle fingers

Grimace has officially replaced Mr. Met

@Peter_Shire @googlemaps Did this ever get fixed? Seems like the same thing happened to me. Was almost level 10 after years and years

@googlemaps Can you please help? I was a Level 8 Local Guide w/ 5,235 contributions. My 1,719 photos have over 75 Million views! Sadly discovered I was removed from the program. LG Connect had no response to my inquiry.

@SongRepeater @Maximus62787 @AndrewLeezus They didn’t play great. Heck, they weren’t even that fun to watch unlike past suns teams. These issues were always there. Just got more exposed in the playoffs.

@Maximus62787 @dgpacker @AndrewLeezus They played great during regular season and deserved to be in the playoffs and the fact they made it into the playoffs is something not all teams make it in

I would like to point out that we were without Damion Lee all season

@SongRepeater @AndrewLeezus Even with Allen, this team wasn’t going anywhere unfortunately. Too flawed. Even the way they played last night, they wouldn’t be able to sustain for an entire series…

@AndrewLeezus Not to mention we also didn’t have Grayson Allen for the last 2 playoff games I feel like he would’ve helped a ton

@Gambo987 Beal and booker are too redundant which is a problem when one costs 50 million, put us in the 2nd apron, and we have no depth. No youth. Don’t see how we fix this team with no draft picks and the cuffs of the 2nd apron

I get the Vogel frustration & he may lose his job over this, but Red Auerbach wasn't winning with this roster. The personnel was flawed with no point guard, size or depth. Suns defense was painful to watch, could not guard drives or threes - just really bad slow defensive players

THREAD: Every #Dbacks trade EVER

@GeraldBourguet But Beal is still making avg of 50+ million guaranteed for the next 4 years with a trade veto clause. CP3 contract over after this year (non-guranteed next year). Hard having so much money tied into him

@nytdavidbrooks Here lies the heart of the hypocrisy of trump and his followers for worshipping a man who is the embodiment of most things you’ve referred to in the article. He’s a product of the elite, has his position in society by being born into it, & doesn’t represent those who follow him.

@nytdavidbrooks What’s missed here is that Trump is a product of the system being referred to. Born into riches and the elite Attended elite schools including the New York military academy and Wharton Obtained 4 Vietnam draft deferrals So, isn’t he then the very problem you’re referring to?

We in the educated class are always publicly speaking out for the marginalized, but somehow we always end up building systems that serve ourselves. nytimes.com/2023/08/02/opi…
