To The Buzzsaw Rescue ... Vinny!
The locker room of The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals is looking like it might be turning a little bit more funky: The jam master that is Vinny might be back in town....
The NLDS ... After Dark!
It's difficult, even for a Cardinals fan, to find much joy in these late-night Diamondback shellackings of the Cubs. A team that was outscored for the season is dominating a fellow division champion. Fortunately, the games have been too late for any children to see the carnage....
Don't Panic Just Yet, Cubs Fans
Because we are committed to the month of October affording us as little sleep as possible, we stayed up and watched the whole Cubs-Diamondbacks game last night, and we don't quite understand all the fuss about Lou Piniella pulling Carlos Zambrano after the sixth inning....
D-Backs Fans Enjoy Hot Tub Night
After a day of somewhat uninspiring but still compelling — it is the playoffs, after all — baseball, we have a some cocky Red Sox, some typically fretting Phillies fans and a Cubs team that has discovered just how the Diamondbacks have been winning all season. We already can't wait for it to rev ba...
It's Quite The Big Event When Matt Leinart Shows Up
Some fans of The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals have had some concern that quarterback (for now) Kurt Warner has been spending too much time partaking in matters of social interaction, and not enough time studying film. And now we're starting to worry he's showing up at events just to get out...
Come Out To Mesa And Cheer On The Cubs!
The Mesa Cubs are one of the Chicago Cubs' minor league teams, playing in Fitch Park, which is just south of HoHoKam Park in Mesa, a suburb of Phoenix. The Cubs have trained in Mesa for the last 10 years, so they've got a ton of fans over there. Perhaps more than the Diamondbacks do....
Playoff Pants Party: Diamondbacks Vs. Cubs
We will confess, being who we are, we find ourselves cheering against the Cubs in this series. This is not because we hate the Cubs; we do not. It is because Cardinals fans have become accustomed to the natural order of matters, and that natural order requires the Cubs to have not won the World Ser...
Leinart Has A Hard Time Handling His "Booze"
We were curious how Matt Leinart would handle his late-night Sauvignon Blanc confession to Michael Silver that he doesn't like being switched in and out of his starting job in Arizona. He took a different tack than we might have....
Where My Team Stands: Arizona Diamondbacks
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom....
Please, Please Be Quiet, Matt
We're far enough away from Arizona not to necessarily have our finger on the pulse of as many issues involving the Buzzsaw that we'd like, but we were heartened to see Matt Leinart totally comfortable with the job-sharing arrangement with Kurt Warner. He seemed happy, anyway, until Yahoo's Michael S...
The Buzzsaw That Is Ken Whisenhunt
Because we can't exactly have you thinking we're unaware of what went on at the Pink Taco on Sunday ... a late night reminder after one of the most exciting sports days we can remember. And that is counting Buffalo. We'll talk tomorrow....
Matt Leinart Is Watching One Exciting Game
Steelers 7, Cardinals 7 — Coach Ken Whisenhunt, sure enough, found a time to use Kurt Warner in the game, which happened to be the fourth drive of the game, and he's been in ever since. His touchdown to Jeremy Urban tied the game. Now, if Warner is the best quarterback to run the 2-minute-drill, no-...
Your National League Clusterphooey
All due respect to the playoffs next week, but we can't fathom a much more exciting turkeyshoot than the National League this weekend. We're three days away from the end of the season, and not a single team has clinched, with seven still in the chase. It's insane....

D-Backs Keep Doing The Bartman
We love the Kiss Cam. We absolutely can't resist it. We have three favorite Kiss Cam moments....
Please, No More MNF Doubleheaders
We're not sure why, exactly, we feel compelled to write about a game that we spent four hours writing about last night and just ended about eight hours ago ... and, oh yeah, was completely miserable to watch. But, alas, here we are....
Buzzsaw-49ers MNF Live Blog
All right, we'll tell you right now: This is a terrible idea. Not only have we been up since 4:15 this morning, but we're also in the odd position of attempting to type non-stop, for three hours, about the season opener of a team for which we have an emotional connection. And we're going to do it ...
