The "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" Mini-Chub Thread

10 K's in 6 innings...had no clue who Thomas Diamond was before tonight.

Is this a one-hit wonder, or the start of a two-part epic, rocking, sploogefest?

I didn't know he played for the Penguins.

He was once a top prospect for the Rangers.  Yeah, that's all I got.

If I remember correctly, him, Edison Volquez and John Danks were called "DVD" or something ghey in the rangers organization.
Then Diamond had control issues, then got hurt. After TJ surgery, he struggled for a couple of years and the rangers let him go.
But at one time he was supposed to be the best of the three. He's done pretty well this year in the minors, hopefully he's finally healthy pitching like he once was.

At one point the Rangers thought Diamond would be the best of that bunch.

One of the guys who pitched for Milwaukee last night, Cameron Low, was also in the Rangers system at that time as well.

Fuck Thomas Diamond

This thread title is almost as bad as the one Huey came up with for Steinbrenner's death.

So let's just go ahead and call him Tommy "Garbanzo Beans" Diamond.

I thought Chris Berman had broken into PenguinsFan69's account.*


*Not really; that would be really weird if Chris Berman wanted to break into a Desipio account and post a thread about Thomas Diamond.

His changeup grip is so tight he can turn garbanzo beans into diamonds.

Let's not get confused. Liking Pink Floyd and liking this thread title are mutually exclusive.

Ah.  In that case, I hate this thread title.

I see how it is.  But since when did my love of the Penguins eclipse my identity as a Cubs fan?
