Almost

By ByrnesBlogger1, August 20th, 2008 10:55 AM

The Diamondbacks almost blew a7-3 lead in the ninth inning last night against the Padres. Keyword: Almost. The final score was 7-6. But that was scary.

The Dodgers lost, so the D’backs are back to a game up in the NL Worst.

The Snakes are now 5 games over .500 (65-60). Their record would be good enough for 6th place in a unified league, which goes to show you the weakness of the division. The Wild Card will come from the Central or the East this year, so if the D’Backs are to make the playoffs, they have to win the division. Almost won’t cut it this year.
