Is celebrating a return to .500 three months into the season a bit sad? (Expletive) no!
Since there is an off-day on Thursday, by the time you read this, the Diamondbacks will still be at .500 (I refuse to name any geological features in reference to that, because that is bad and if you make that reference you should feel bad.) They will also be tied for second place in the NL West with the Giants (They also have an off-day Thursday, I checked.) In a vacuum, these achievements are worthy of, at best, sarcastic applause. In context, however, Diamondbacks fans should damn well be thrilled about this, even if it's only fleeting.
