NLCS

I won't for a second blame this entire series on one person. The entire Dbacks roster pulled a 'Cubs', not hitting with runners in scoring position, not pitching well, and not fielding well. They struggled and had bad luck in every possible way, from killing balls to short for outs to watching texas leaguers fall in against them. It was a buzzsaw, with the Rockies getting every call, every break, and all the luck.

With that said: For Christ's sake Conor Jackson. Make one GD play and that inning is over. I know we don't pay you for your defense, but come on. That was fucking pathetic. It's a fucking ground ball for fuck's sake, how the fuck do you boot that? Just catch the fucking ball and toss it to Micah covering first. That's ALL YOU HAVE TO FUCKING DO AND THE INNING IS OVER. Fuck you. Asshole.

Disgrace

That's about as damning a photo as I've seen. He doesn't exactly look like he's just sliding hard into second base. It looks like he's trying to take him out. Either way, that was an absolute embarrassment what the fans did in reaction. We take heat all week for not selling the game out, finally sell it out, and then get a bunch of jackasses throwing bottles onto the field. You know what Phoenix? Remember when i said you need to get out and support your team? Scratch that. If you're gonna act like a bunch of drunken retards stay home. Just stay home. I was there, and yeah, i was booing, but i wasn't about to throw anything on the field. What a joke...

Back later today with more thoughts on the actual game...

Game 1 NLCS

Alright kids, i'm off to the Dbacks-Rockies game. I have my camera with me this time, and will get and post some pictures tonight. Thanks to the Dbacks fans for stepping up, there are only a few hundred standing room only tickets left for tonight's game, which i'm sure will be eaten up before game time. Go Dbacks!

ps- Sorry about all the swearing last night, i was just really irked at Kruk. That guy is a hack...

One more

Oh, and by the way, Peter Gammons, who is without a doubt the most respected beat writer in Major League Baseball, picked the Dbacks to win in 7.

For the record, i don't think it will take that long, but i still like the pick.

In fact, might as well make this my LCS predictions column. Dbacks in 6, and Red Sox in 5. There it is.

That's It

You got me started. I can't FUCKING STAND listening to John Kruk. He is a fucking moron. Tonight on Baseball Tonight, as he (predictably) picked the Rockies to beat the Dbacks, this is the verbal diarrhea that came out of his month while talking about why the Dbacks would struggle: 'Chris Young strikes out too much.' Hey Kruky, CY may strikeout at times, but HE HIT THE TWO BIGGEST HOME RUNS OF THE NLCS AGAINST THE CUBS. Go fuck yourself.

One of the very few baseball reporters left on ESPN that i still respect, Tim Kurkjian, picked the Dbacks. For what's it worth...

Fuck It

That's right, I said fuck it. The Dbacks are winning Game 1. It's not a prediction, it's a guaran-fucking-tee. The assholes on Baseball Tonight (don't even get me started on John Kruk. He can go fuck himself) are sucking the Rockie's cock. You know what? THEY'RE LOSING GAME 1. Hate to break it to you. Maybe you forgot that Brandon Webb won the Cy Young last year...

Seriously, what the fuck are these assholes problems? Have they not watched the Dbacks at all? They are paid to watch games and pay attention, so PAY FUCKING ATTENTION. The Dbacks are winning Game 1. And the series. You heard it here first. Just keep doubting us assholes, see where it gets you.

FUCK.

NLCS

Poll on ESPN tonight: Who will win the World Series?

After 90,000+ voted, the Dbacks chance stood at a whopping 5.9%.

Oh, and for the record, after 8 of 10 ESPN 'experts' picked the Cubs to beat the Dbacks in the NLDS, now 9 of 10 ESPN 'experts' are picking the Rockies to beat the Dbacks in the NLCS.

Fantastic. Oh, and also by the way, the Rockies have won 18 of 19. Their only loss? The Dbacks, against Brandon Webb. So, umm, wait, who are the Rockies playing against Thursday, and who's on the mound for that team? Oh, that would be the Dbacks, and Brandon Webb is pitching for them. Weird...

Dbacks need your help

Phoenix: The Dbacks need your help. Tomorrow is game 1 of the NLCS, with Game 2 on Friday. There are still approximately 5,000 tickets left for EACH GAME. The rest of the country is already down on the Phoenix fans, i don't want to give them another weapon in their arsenal. Please, please, please show your support and get out to the game! Tickets are as low as $25! It is a chance to see a League Championship Series baseball game. That opportunity does not come along often. So get out there, support your team, and buy a couple tickets to the game. You'll enjoy it, I promise.

But tickets here.

NLCS!

That was awesome! Back tomorrow with a more detailed post, but the Dbacks are through to the next round! A complete sweep of the Cubs, who saw that coming?

For a team that had no one outside of Phoenix believing in them, the Dbacks threw up a fantastic series. Great job, way to go, and bring on the Rockies! Go Dbacks!
