Risser’s Ramblings – Sports Along the Rail

January 24, 2011 by Bill Risser Leave a Comment

The ASU men battled hard at Washington, but they could not keep up.  The current 5 game losing streak is the longest since Herb Sendek’s second season as head coach…   With spring training right around the corner, did you know the Priest and Washington light rail stop is just a couple blocks south of Phoenix Municipal Stadium, spring training home of the Oakland A’s?…   I heard a rumor the Diamondbacks may be interested in Armando Galarraga.  Remember Armando?  He lost the perfect game last year when umpire Jim Joyce blew the call with 2 outs in the 9th.  Galarraga did not complain, and even met with a distraught Joyce after the game to let him know we are all human and we make mistakes.  He is a class act and would be a great addition to the D’Backs…   ASU women basketball is currently 3rd in the Pac-10 and 12-5 overall.  Turner-Thorne has the Sun Devils cruising along once again…   OK, the Waste Management Open is not along the rail, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a rail spur heading north along the 101 up to TPC Scottsdale?SRF…  The Suns run off a nice 4 game win streak and then somehow lose to Detroit 75-74.  How does this team only score 74 points?…   Stephen Drew agreed to a 2 year deal.  This is good news, but I wish it was a longer term deal…   Salt River Fields look awesome.  The new spring training home of the D’Backs and the White Sox would be a convenient stop for the aforementioned Scottsdale light rail spur…
