Season thread. The Diamondbacks start their run to the playoffs tonight

[Lefty]

Mantei gets out of the jam. Great pitching. Let's win it in the 9th!

 

[KingLouieLouie]

Okay... clutch pitching there by Mantei.. K'ing Greg Vaughn and inducing Johnson to hit a foul pop-up to Baerga.... Due up in the top 9th are McCracken, Barajas, and Dellucci....

 

[Lefty]

Wow, Brenly has a lot of faith in Raggio.

 

[Lefty]

Way to go Brady!!! Extra innings.

 

[Lefty]

Keep walking Helton.

 

[KingLouieLouie]

I'm on the verge of having a heart-attack over here... These are definitely the new "Cardiac Kids"..... What strategy by Brenly to Intentionally Walk Helton... Obviously the old sports cliche, you never want a certain player to "beat you" and he's among them..
But what clutch pitching by Raggio... Due up in the Top 10th....
Kata, Baerga, and Cintron.....

 

[Lefty]

First two guys on, let's get them in guys!

 

[Lefty]

Wasted inning. Arghhh.

 

[KingLouieLouie]

Oh well...Cintron didnt advance the runners and then Gonzo bounced into a DP.... Raggio is still in... due-up for the Rockies this inning is.....Walker, Payton, and Reed (will more than likely be lifted for a PH).....

 

[Lefty]

You got to love Raggio. Two scoreless innings.

 

[KingLouieLouie]

Raggio is due up to bat 3rd this inning... I believe only Moeller and Overbay are the only ones available on the Dbacks bench... Which now somewhat makes that double-switch from earlier a major mistake.... I guess Valverde will be brought in to pitch the bottom of this inning.... Ammend that..I forgot about Grace and he's on deck... Also, Randolph is warming-up in the BP...

 

[Lefty]

Finley needs to try and steal second.

 

[Lefty]

I like Grace's presence but he is looking very old. Has he dropped below 200?

I agree... I guess the big "knock" on Brenly is that he doesnt execute the "hit-and-run" or play "small ball" well when situations warrants and sure enough, Grace promptly bounces into a DP...... Due-up for the Rockies are....Johnson, Belliard, and Uribe...

 

[Lefty]

Wheww! The bullpen is doing their job.

 

[KingLouieLouie]

Oh wow... how's everyone else holding-up while watching/listening to this game? I feel like Fred G Sanford. and telling Elizabeth that I'm about to join her..... Due-up for the Dbacks in the 12th are... Barajas, Dellucci, and Kata.... We need a nickname for Kata... How about The Catalyst or Ignitor Jr.... He always seems to spark something......

 

[AZCB34]

They cannot continue to dodge these bullets. How they have held on the past few innings and maintained the tie is amazing.

 

[Lefty]

Kata with his 5th hit and puts the Diamondbacks up 5-4! Yes!

This kid is playing lights out! Brenly and Joe Jr are going to have some really tough calls as guys start returning from the DL. Kata has had a huge night.

 

[Lefty]

Gonzo!!!!8-4!Yes!!!

 

[AZCB34]

Gonzo baby. Too bad Coors can turn around and immediately bite right back in the bottom half. Not a done deal but some seriously important insurance runs.

 

[KingLouieLouie]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WOWWWWWWWWWWWW.... Way to go Gonzo!!!!! 5 RBI........... 8-4 Dbacks.... Do you all believe? I certainly do!
