After making it to the playoffs on what most thought was a fluke season the Arizona Diamondbacks have stunned the nation by sweeping the Chicago Cubs on their way to the NLCS.
Doubters picked the Cubs to win this series (just as they picked theSan Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the division) and the Snakes shut them up quick by coming out of the gate quick and just flat out beating the the Cubs. The D-Backs won this series the way they won in the regular season with good starting pitching and lights out bull-pen, illustrated by the fact each games starter got the win and the bull-pen protecting the leads just about flawlessly.
The D-Backs will play either the Colorado Rockies or the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLCS. Even though the Snakes have a better record versus the Phills I almost would rather play the Rox so that the Diamondbacks can strike while the iron is hot. But right now none of that matters because
THE DIAMONDBACKS ARE GOING TO THE NLCS!!!!
