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

[IndyDevil]

I was busy watching the Cubs meltdown against St Louis (I forgot our game started at 8:30 CST tonight), and now it looks like I made it in time to watch Curt do the same...we absolutely need this game tonight so we can gain ground before the Gnats come to town!! Seven hits off of Schilling already? Aaaack!!

C'mon boys - - get those runs back!!

 

[Lefty]

Top of the 6th and still down 4-2. Why is Counsell playing? He can't hit since his injury. Brenly is an idiot. At least Spivey has some pop and this offense needs all it can get.

 

[IndyDevil]

Burroughs strikes again - Padres now up 5-2....my MLB.com picture is a bit hazy, but didn't Hillenbrand have a decent shot at stopping the ball??

 

[Lefty]

If Shea would of put his body in front of it he would of stopped it. I am getting very frustrated right now. I have not given up but this is such a wasted chance. These are sorry Padres they are losing to.

 

[Lefty]

6-2 now. One word, "PATHETIC"

 

[WizardOfAz]

Good thing the wall slowed down that bomb that Nevin just hit.

 

[Lefty]

Grand slam by Nevin, 10-2. Goodnight everyone. Hopefully the day off will make the players realize they need to come out and play every game. Need to take 3 of 4 from the Giants.

Diamondbacks gain on the Phillies because the Phillies once again lost to the Expos. It is going to be a wacky 30 games.

Yeah, but don't forget the Expos passed us last night as well. Thus, with a win for them and an off day for us, we lost ground in that race.

 

[Lefty]

More great news, the Marlins lost 5-0. This race is going to go down to the very end.

You would have thought they might have started against the mighty Reds and Padres.

 

[Smolder]

dare i believe my eyes?! the dbacks drive in all 3 guys who were on base...tell me i'm not dreaming. i don't remember this happening since...last season?

 

[Lefty]

Just got home and saw that inning. I figured once Gonzo swung at that first pitch and made an out they were doomed. Great at-bat by Mondesi and Shea and Junior come thru.

 

[Evil Ash]

End of 5 innings ... D-backs lead 5-3!

 

[Lefty]

Junior made it 5-3 with another rbi. Brenly needs to keep Spivey in the line-up because he has more pop than Counsell. It is now 5-3 in the bottom of the 6th.

 

[WizardOfAz]

Philly and Florida win....must hang on to this lead to keep pace.

 

[Evil Ash]

End of 8 innings D-backs still lead 5-3! It's time for Mantei to finish them off!!

 

[Lefty]

Diamondbacks win 5-4! MVP goes to Spivey and Shea. Props to Batista and the bullpen. By the way, that home run by Galarraga was sick. It made it to Friday's.

 

[Cheesebeef]

one team in this race is gonna have one big winning streak -6 or seven games and distance themselves from the rest - let's see it backs - been hanging on by a thread all year long - one final pushg, one final hot streakl of the bats - none of these other squads have the championship experience this team has - lets' see it for once - come on unit - come back baby, come back.

 

[thirty-two]

COME ON DBACKS!!!

Down by 2, Bottom of the 9th, one out, Mondesi on 3rd, Spivey on 1st... and Bautista up to bat!!

 

[thirty-two]

Bautista almost hit into a double play, but Mondesi scored.. 2-1 Giants.. two out, Bautista at 1st and Baerga pinch hitting...

 

[Ryanwb]

That umpire sucked
