Re: The AZ Diamondbacks Fan Club!

You guys just plain clobbered us. I wish you success in the next round. I need to go turn on the Phillies game, as soon as I finish up my Wrigley Field thread. Lou Piniella spoke very highly of your team, after the Cubs loss tonite.

Arizona-Colorado for the National League Championship Series? Well, they were two of the hottest teams coming down the stretch.

Not exactly a series for the nostalgic, unless you count the D-Backs winning the World Series six years ago nostalgic. But that was one helluva World Series, and you did beat the Yankees!

Arizona, a team that came into existence nine years ago, against the positively old-time Rockies, who came into being in 1993.

Congratulations, Diamondbacks!

Thanks Barry! No one gave us a chance in hell to beat the Yankees in 2001. This year was supposed to be a rebuilding year with all our young guys and, frankly, most DBacks fans you talk to will confess to being surprised to be in the Championship series. We are just enjoying the ride.

Go Angels!

We watched the game after the ASU game was over. Good job D'backs. Now on to beat the Rockies.

Re: The AZ Diamondbacks Fan Club!

I think if our pitching is as good as it was last series we will be able to beat the rockies. The rockies pitching staff isn't as good as the cubs.

Anybody!

Anytime!

Re: The AZ Diamondbacks Fan Club!

I'm leaving work in 2 hours so we can get to the game at a decent time. So excited for the game and to see Webby pitch tonight! Hoping after this series we can get a little respect, seeing as we are the NL West Champs and we just swept the Cubs (who were favored). That's gotta mean something! Ah well, the DBacks have always played well as the underdogs.

And by the way, not sure how the news is coming up with the number of 4,000 unsold tickets. Not sure if they are intentionally releasing them slowly so some out-of-towners get tickets or what. But each time my BIL tried online to get tickets to tonights game he got a message that it was sold out, and this was 2 days ago. He finally got tickets for Friday's game.


LET'S GO DBACKS!!!!!

I really don't have a favorite in the National League Championship Series, because I have decided to root for the Indians to win the World Series. I understand that they have to get there first.

By the way, have fun at the game. (you know, that I am a little jealous, right?)

Re: The AZ Diamondbacks Fan Club!

I'm just hoping it's a good series. It should be.

I'm actually kind of rooting for the Rockies but will be fine with either one.

Yay Diamondback! Don't suppose my purple D-Back
shirt will work this year to show my support, I'll
have to wear one of the red T-shirts I had at DL
last weekend!

I still have my teal shirt from season 1. This whole changing uniform colors was a conspiracy to get more $$.

Go D'backs I hope you win just so the Arizona Sports teams can get some more respect. Do not forget the Phoenix Mercury won the WNBA this year, now if the D'backs win, ASU Football and then my Phoenix Suns take the championship I will be a happy girl.

Sounds like you don't care about the Cardinals
(neither do I ~ and their new stadium look U-G-L-Y
from the outside!)

The Cardinals have always had a pretty bad team. My brother was an Arizona Cardinals fan. He followed the Cardinals since they were the Chicago Cardinals.

I cannot stand the Cardinals. I have never liked them even before they were the Phoenix then Arizona Cardinals. You are so right about the stadium, last spring we went to the Women's Expo there and the inside is not much better looking.

Back on topic last night we got spanked by the Rockies. I think maybe it was just the wake up call we needed and tonight we will be back in the action and really show what we can do.

Re: The AZ Diamondbacks Fan Club!

Tired, very tired.

Even tho we lost the game was AMAZING!!

Hmm why did this post too soon? Ok I'll continue below.

[Dr. Earkid]

Re: The AZ Diamondbacks Fan Club!

Ok, let's try this again. Even tho we lost last night the game was AMAZING because of the fact that the DBacks fans didn't sleep thru the game. I have never heard the stadium so loud since the 2001 World Series. You could feel that the fans were tired of being vilified. The sports media were saying we didn't care because the game didn't sell out early. Our team is the youngest team left in the playoffs so BACK OFF!!!!!!! Most of our city is people who have transplanted themselves and they bring with them their allegiances to other sports teams. Do you honestly expect our fan base to be as large as Boston? Puhlease.

The fans last night were amazing. I booed the Upton call for the full 8 minutes and have the hoarse voice to show for it. Sure we are upset at the idiots who thru bottles on the field. But DBacks fans were also the ones who pointed those idiots out to security and got them thrown out.

There was one time when Steven Drew was batting with two out and everyone spontaneously stood up and waved their towels and yelled DREEEEEEEEEEEWWWWW through his entire at bat. Sometimes the stadium staff will urge you to yell by putting things up on the jumbotron but last night the fans were true baseball fans exhibiting passion without being prompted.

Anyhoo, that just a few of my observations. I'm proud of our guys for going from the absolute worst team last year to being in the NLCS playoffs this year with 3 of our best players out with injuries.

Good luck tonight boys!!!!

You had a great season...you just ran into a buzzsaw, the runaway train, that seemingly is the Colorado Rockies.
