Game 3 Playoff Diary

[Schwarber Fan]

Not nearly as entertaining as IMB:

 

Top 1: Here we go, this is the season, OPR is 3-0 in this last 3 starts so I like our cha... Chris Young goes deep and its 1-0 D'Backs... wow, the crowd is silenced. After Drew doubles, Hill K's the next two - maybe we have a shot to come back. Justin Upton? cmon... 2-0 ARZ

 

Bottom 1: Soriano draws a leadoff walk and the count goes 3-1 to Theriot... he hits into a 5-4-3... why swing on 3-1 if your Theriot with Lee coming up? Or course the next 2 get on and Ramirez looks at 7 pitches and strikes out.

 

Top 2: After Stephen Drew gets another hit, he easily steals 2nd off the deadarm that is Jason Kendall. OPR gets out of it... still 2-0

 

Bottom 2: Drew finally does something wrong and error and another leadoff man on base. Augie freaking Ojeda forces him at 2nd on Jones' classic ground ball to 2nd. Kendall singles and Hill fails to get a good bunt down (surprise). Money Man Fonzie grounds out.

 

Top 3rd: OPR works around a leadoff double. On a scale of 1-10, I still like our chances.

 

Bottom 3rd: Theriot swings at another 3-1 and grounds out again. Once again Lee and Floyd get on and Aramis goes 6-4-3. Predictable Cubs.

 

Top 4th: Montero walks, Livan gets a hit, Wuertz comes in and walks Young and K's Drew then gets a double play to end the inning. Expect the 1B ump calls Byrnes safe and it's 3-0 D'Backs.

 

Bottom 4th: Another leadoff man on. Jones doubles putting them on 2nd and 3rd with 0 out. We can't screw this up can we? Kendall gets the RBI ground out (Soto would have tied the game). Fontenot and Soriano are failures. 3-1 ARZ.

 

Top 5th: Another SB off the anti-Soto. No runs score off Marmol though despite Livan Hernandez's foul ball to exactly where Bartman was sitting in 2003.

 

Bottom 5th: Theriod doesn't swing on 3-1 and draws a walk! Imagine that! He proceeds to steal 2nd. Time for DLee to at least advance the runner. Nope, 6-3 ground out. Floyd and Ramirez walk but it was inevitable wasn't it. DeRosa hits the 3-1 right at Drew. There's your turning point.

 

Top 6th: Marmol strikes out 3 but Byrnes and his obnoxious arms go yard. 4-1 now and this really sucks.

 

Bottom 6th: Cubs go 1-2-3. Pie looks lost as usual. He's not ready for CF in 2008, which I'm getting ready for at this point.

 

Top 7th: Howry works a clean inning... nothing to see here

 

Bottom 7th: Theriot singles with 1 out and the inevitable 4-6-3 is turned, that basically ends it.

 

Top 8th: Howry K's the side... please stay good for 08 Bobby

 

Bottom 8th: DeRosa singles with 2 outs... and he couldn't do that last time? Jones flies out

 

Top 9th: Wood gives up a mammoth blast to Drew who has become the most hated D'Back by far in the series. No further runs score but this one is all but over.

 

Bottom 9th: Kendall, Ward, Soriano go down 1-2-3 and just like that the season is over. 165 games in total and they saved the worst for last. After going through that crap, I'm surprised I'll be back in 2008. We all will.

 

On a scale of 1-10... Wait till next year.

I was going to go a game diary but I was too drunk after the OU-Texas game.

 

So then I was just going to post a topic that said "Game Diary" and then post nothing in it since the game was so terrible.

 

But this post did that nicely.
