Well, I think the Diamondbacks have officially learned all about hashtags and what happens when Twitter users are bored on a Wednesday afternoon.

As pointed out by HBT’s Craig Calcaterra to the vast majority of Tweeters early Wednesday afternoon, any Twitter user could have their tweets seen on the Jumbotron during the Dbacks/Phillies game simply by adding the hashtag #GoDBacks to their tweets.  AUTOMATICALLY.  Obviously, the fun was started by a bunch of Phillies fans (started by Mike Meech, AKA: @meechone).  Let’s just say that people got creative.

Here are a few of my favorites:  » Continue reading “Twitter Thursday: A Lesson In Trolling #GoDBacks”

Today’s playlist is a musical tribute to the Arizona Diamondbacks and is brought to you by the magical feeling of clinching a division, the power of google, and the 4 cups of coffee I consumed to the get through work on Monday. With the proper time to prepare, I will likely, at some point, create a soundtrack for the Dbacks.

That is not what this is.

Allow me to take you on a musical adventure through September 23, 2011. It was almost a foregone conclusion by this point in the season that the Dbacks were going to win the division, but that it could happen at home, against the defending World Series champions and division rivals, made this game kind of feel very meaningful at the time. With songs to summarize each of the innings, I present to you:
