Diamondbacks’ Week in Review

The Arizona Diamondbacks are, as you no doubt know, the 2007 National League West champions. Things looked more than a little dicey after dropping the first two games to the lowly Pirates, but they recovered to win the finale, and a victory on Friday, coupled with a Mets loss, guaranteed our desert rats October baseball.

Arizona is now closing in on their first playoff spot since 2002, leading the division as we enter the last week.

The Brewers are one of the few NL teams to have a winning record against AZ, and took the first two games of the series. However, Brandon Webb salvaged a win in the finale, though his scoreless streak came to an end just one out into the game. The [...] Read the story »

Diamondbacks’ Week in Review

And the wins just keep on coming. Arizona headed out on the road, to face NL East rivals Atlanta and Florida, and took both series, taking four games of six, an excellent trip for the team. Of course, in typical Diamondbacks style, despite winning both series, they only scored one run more than the opposition. However, it's the victories that matter, and they come back to Phoenix having extended their lead over San Diego to [...] Read the story »
