Bickley: Diamondbacks could transform our summer from curse to celebration

Summer is here. Our nemesis has arrived. But this year, there’s a different feeling in town.

The Diamondbacks are even hotter.

They are among the most surprising teams in Major League Baseball. They’ve won 31 of their first 50 games entering Saturday’s game in Milwaukee. They’re nearly unbeatable at Chase Field, and their 21 home victories is an astounding feat, considering last year’s team didn’t reach that number until Aug. 22.

They are threatening to do the impossible, turning a Valley summer into a celebration.

“I’m getting excited for them,” Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald said.
