The D-Backs get a crack at the pennant! The D-Backs get a crack at the pennant!!

by Sasha

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!!!!

That certainly was no fluke. The Diamondbacks were by far the better team.

I'm glad to see that someone is stepping up to the chalkline, as a Cubs fan, and saying that the DBax were the better team. ONR, you're being a really good sport about it, which makes you different and better than most people here who think of excuses after their team is out of it.

Someone said to me "The Diamond-backs all around aren't that great, they just find ways to win..." I said "Thats what good teams do, they find a way to win" ...

Wouldn't it be great to see "the Battle of the teams with hardly any history"? Diamondbacks vs. Rockies?

I can't wait to see Eric Byrnes if the Babybacks win the Pennant.

I can't wait, because it means he won't be analyzing games the entire playoffs.

This coming from a team that is a juggernaut in the regular season, but seems to always forget how to pitch and bat when October comes?

I just looked it up and the first NLCS game is on Thursday. That sucks! A four day lay off is just stupid.

I give the Diamondbacks credit. The young players outhit the grizzled Cubs veterans and deserved to advance.

Credit to the DBacks but if they face Boston, New York or Cleveland... Doug Davis and Livan Hernandez won't see the 4th inning...

Chris Young and Stephen Drew really showed me a lot in this series even if Young struck out 8 times in 3 games.

Diamondbacks - Playing the Kirk Gibson way; Any given player Any given day...

They have a great bullpen and Gibby riding their asses. I said they were smoking mirrors. I apologize. They are smoking high quality mirrors!

(bet there's more Broncos fans at the game than D-Backs fans!)

Great title, Sasha. I hope you enjoy this season, it's way ahead of schedule. And the D Backs have a ton more talent coming!

Thank you for your kind words (I think the title is my favorite part of article too), and yes there is more talent on the way (can anyone say Dynasty?).

I'd be scared of Colorado if I were you, Sasha. I doubt anyone wants to play them. I certainly wouldn't if I were any AL team.

I am scared of Colorado but if one thing carries over from the regular season I hope it's this, that every time the D-Backs play the Cubs they go on a winning streak. But yes I am scared of the Rockies.
