So happy for them and all of you guys too! I got to watch the final couple innings on the MLB network (seems like the only time they've been on all year!)

Can't wait to watch some playoff games.

You know what's sad?

There's more people in the Suns forum right now. A league that's in a lockout that doesn't look like it's going to end any time soon, and a team that is getting destroyed by their owner, yet there's still more people there? The Dbacks just won the NL West. Who the hell cares about the Suns / NBA right now?

No matter what happens from here on out-----this has been the most fun and satisfying season for me since the 1955 Dodgers beat the Yankees in New York for the World Series Championship. This group of talented and veteran coaches, and savvy veteran players coupled with the wide eyed rookies, and hard playing youngsters, and overseen by a World Class CEO and a Great General Manager, have stolen my heart. They have made me and my family feel like we belong to their family all summer long. From the bat boy to the CEO, there is not one person in this group that I don't positively love. They are fun to watch. They work very hard. They have each other's back. They genuinely love each other AND their coaches, (AND THEY SHOULD). This is the most fun I have had with baseball in like forever. God Bless all connected with this team!!!!!

I totally agree Catfish. It has been a fun ride and we have only just begun.

Seriously, at the start of the season if someone had said they were going to win the division convincingly, Kennedy was going to win 20 games and we were going to do it all WITHOUT Steven Drew for half the season, we all would have thought they were crazy. What an awesome, amazing, unexpected, unbelievable year. Go Dbacks!

It was great to see . Congrats to our D-Backs. In spring traiing I wondered how many over 50 they would win. Proud to say how wrong I was.

Oh and those 55 Brooklyn Dodgers. 7 Hard games against the Yanks and little know pitcher Johnny Padres pitches a 2-0 shutout for the Bums only world series win.

Good luck in the playoofs.

Go D-backs

Congratulations. Giants offense was simply putrid without Posey and Sanchez. Our starters deserved better. Hope you guys have a nice run.

Worth Noting:

The Diamondbacks have been a franchise for 14 years. In that time they have won 5 division titles.

That is as many as the Suns and Cardinals combined in that same timespan.

They also have 1 Championship, which is 1 more than the Suns and Cardinals combined.

I love my Cardinals and my Suns, but the results are undeniable. Congratz Dbacks.
