Does it all comes crashing to a halt tonight?

[Skkorpion]

Elmer Dessens pitching in Coors field is the biggest threat to our win streak yet. The Rockies batters are almost unstoppable at home.

If we win tonight, it will be a miracle. If we steal this one, I'm finally going to jump on the bandwagon that holds those who think we have a chance at the playoffs.

Streaks always end and conditions favor ours ending tonight.

I think it ends - but it's just a temporary derailment - no way does Dessens win tonight - but it's okay - this team has put itselt back in the hunt - and even has room for a small let down if needed - bring on the second half - it's gonna be wild!

I think the streak can continue.

Everyone can hit at Coors, and we've got some guys who have been hitting well.

I see us winning a high scoring game.

Go D-Backs!!

It will end now, since you jinxed them

Thanks Jim.... but I am still going to believe. Yes Elmer has been less than stellar all year, but even a blind squirrel gets a nut sometimes.... the Rocks can hit there, but then again EVERYONE else can too.... all we have to do is keep it within reason through 5 and let our pen dawgs out on em, and hit our way to 12!

Much like the Dbacks, this is a very important game and series for Colorado. They are a game over .500 and only a couple games behind the Dbacks. Skkorp, all good things come to an end and I agree tonight the stars are aligned for a Dbacks loss BUT if they win the series things will still be in great shape.

 

[Dback Jon]

No one expects the streak to go on forever.
And agreed, a fly-ball pitcher like Dessens in Coors is a combustible mixture.
But, I didn't lose faith a month ago, not about to start now!

12 - here we come.

We'll see what happens tonight, but I venture to guess it'll be a bit tougher than what we've seen the past couple of weeks. So far this year we are :

2-5 versus Colorado
1-4 versus San Francisco
2-4 versus Los Angeles
5-3 versus San Diego

Im glad you have optamism skkorpion. What about OUR offense?

 

[LA D'backsfan]

The streak WILL continue because this is just how it was 2 yrs ago when they felt they could win every game. Except this time we are doing it without the big horses!!

All tied up 3-3!!

GO D'BACKS!!


Paul (in LA where as per usual this time of year the Dodgers are tanking it)

Tie game.. bottom 9!

 

[Chainthroer]

You got to have faith. Nice HR by Gonzo. But, the Big guy put a scare into us at the end by letting those three get by. Great win!

I believe all of his runs were unearned.

Come on skkorp - Elmer pitched well - only gave up 2 Earned Runs in 5 2/3 innings - which is good for Coors.

 

[schillingfan]

I think Elmer Dessens has a good future as a reliever. Man when he hits the wall about the 5th or 6th inning he is toast.

Kind of reminds me of Omar Daal. After a couple of looks the other team figures out just what his ball is going to do.
