The season hasn’t started and the Arizona Diamondbacks already have struck out — against us.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
I can understand the team wanting to have a discussion about money with Maricopa County, about who is going to pay for the $187 million the team says is needed to make Chase Field all that it can be.
I take that back. I CAN’T understand the Diamondbacks or any baseball team wanting to have any discussion with a county — meaning, taxpayers — about money.
