Regarding the Diamondbacks...of course they will repeat! What sports team doesn't repeat (do something indistinguishable from what it has done on any given occasion in the past)?Take football, for example: all get up, all crash into each other, all fall down, all get up again...over and over and over...
That's repetition.
And, man, is it TEDIOUS to watch! :-)
The same thing is happening in the Middle East, although with far more serious consequences, unfortunately...
