This announcing team has been strangely tolerable. This is a new one for me while watching Fox. Do these two usually call D-Back games? Grace does, not the other guy though.

He's good and all (Scherzer), but he still doesn't have a reliable 2nd pitch. I wouldn't be surprised if you guys get to him good soon..

Scherzer is going to get lit up. He's throws the fastball way too much and doesn't have anything else yet. Still needs to develop his 2nd pitch. I expect a loss.

Because we own? Wow your return here might be short with more comments like that. Don't see anything wrong with it. We sucked bad today, wow. GG. Wouldn't be surprised if we got swept now. :(

We have the highest run differential this year out of all teams. Because we own? --- Anyways, I think Scherzer is going to get lit up on Saturday because all he has is a fastball and the way you guys are swinging the bats, you'll annihilate him. And Sunday, I'd be surprised if we can get to Zambrano, and with RJ on the mound, I have no clue what to expect.

Hello :D

Don't tell them that. DBacks fans will tell you that theirs is the toughest division. Ah yes, home of the 5-team division with 4 teams below .500. Of course I'm embellishing a bit due to the early season, but from a winning % perspective, the NL West is technically the worst division in baseball right now That's because we're destroying our division at 17-5 vs. them.

I've heard multiple news outlets report somewhere between 10000 and 12000 tickets remaining for the two games. And even if it is only 3000 or 4000, it's still pathetic that they haven't sold out already. Tons of media outlets have been completely wrong. I was listening to the sports radio here when they had Josh Byrnes come on and laugh at the fact that some were saying 12,000 were left. If they don't sell out, I don't think many are going to lose sleep, unless you're going to keep on going on about how pathetic it is and how others are saying that they don't deserve to be here cause of the fans and the Cubs do because their fans are better.. :roll: edit:not trying to be a prick, just think this is blown way out of proportion. IF you've followed baseball, especially the playoffs through the years, it's known the dbacks don't do good with selling tix unless playing a team with a big fan base.

I've always wondered what I would do if I went to a baseball game between two teams that I didn't care about. In this case, I would probably go and just pretend that it's the world series. living in dc and detroit the last 8 years, i've done this frequently. i tend to drink a lot. Yeah I drink and make comments loud enough for people to hear about how terrible D-Backs fans are. Unfortunately they are as terrible as I say and thusly don't really care. Who cares if they suck? We were 50-31 at home with our mediocre crowds, sellouts don't = wins, so criticizing the fact we can barely sell out is pointless.Hey what's up mr. drawing bad conclusions... I said nothing of the quality of the team or the team's home play. I merely pointed out something that you seem to already know which I happen to enjoy doing when I'm at a game I don't care about. Really isn't a DBacks city/state anyways, sell outs happen across the street at US Airways with the Suns, which is better for me since I have a stronger passion for them.DBacks have been around for only 10 years, to expect big crowds is pretty dumb..gotta give them 10 more years and if it's still pathetic, then you really know they suck No, it's pathetic right now that there are still 10,000+ tickets available for the NLCS games. I've ragged on Marlin fans for being bandwagoners back in 2003. But at least the Marlins sold out or were very close to selling out every home game in the 2003 playoffs - they had one game with 61000 and the other 7 home games were 65000+ which included Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday home games in the World Series. And the Marlins did it with a far bigger stadium (about 16000 more seats) and with fans who showed up in smaller numbers during the regular season - the Marlins drew 12000 fewer fans per home game in 2003 than the DBacks did in 2007. The only reason the DBacks sold out the first two games of the NLDS this year was because of all the Cubs fans that showed up. It's a pathetic display and I don't buy the "they've only been around for 10 years so give them 10 more years" BS. 10,000? Heard on the radio today by our owner that there is only 3,000 left for tomorrow and 4,000 for Friday. Both should sell out, if they sell out tomorrow, cool, isn't going to make a huge deal if it sells out in 10 seconds compared to 4-5 days. It's better then the 37,000 who showed up game 1 of the 2001 NLCS for us.

The team plays, not the crowd.

The Suns have a fantastic fan base, as do the other established teams like ASU Football and Baseball. The Cardinals fan base is impressive considering how pathetic the organization is. D-Backs base will grow 10-20 years from now when all the little kids with Gonzo jerseys are adults and can spend a little more cash. I also think the fans who left the D'Backs cause of letting Gonzo and Counsell walk need to grow a pair and know the situation. We have 4 big prospect OF'ers and then Byrnes for another 3 years now(<--dumbest extension..EVER) When would Gonz-oid ever play? He's washed up, old, and if you follow this team die hard, a prick.And Counsell..the guy sucks, he got a few big hits for us in '01..but Counsell over Drew? Casual fans are dumb. I've never been to an ASU football game in Tempe, other then down in Tucson when they played the Wildcats( :D ), but I do know they have a lot of fans here in the Phoenix metropolitan I appreciate you coming back to the website after the series, and I welcome any and all comments that you may have to add to our discussions....but can you like give it another week or so before you post? It seems like almost yesterday you were here defending yourself and your team as to why the DBacks won't get swept. Ahh those were times with such optimism. Now we are talking about picking up Steve Trachsel options and which mediocre, no patience MI to pick up in the offseason. Actually on second thought, stay and post all you want about your ballclub. I need something to take my mind off our team. Meh..I thought waiting 5 days would have been fine. :?

Id imagine it will go Cruz-Pena-Lyon-Valverde Livan sucks, so I figure he'll be done after this inning, if he gets through it You enjoying yourself buddy? Not really,, every inning is pure luck, we're lucky its 3-1, should be 10-3, no joke

You act like no teams have bandwagoners, cept AZ. Damn. Whine, whine, whine about our fans. I know they suck I was waiting for you to make an appearance. I can't see how he could think it is a wise choice to be posting in this thread. Trying to rub salt in the wound. It's only the top of the 4th inning. Geovany Soto No, I'm not. I went all game yesterday, and read this board the whole game just about. I'm not saying "ZOMG, homerun, hahahaha" Naw, Im not like that

You act like no teams have bandwagoners, cept AZ. Damn. Whine, whine, whine about our fans. I know they suck I was waiting for you to make an appearance. I just read and see your opinions on things, but I try to avoid posting in bad times for you guys.

Nice play...

Not really, it's an 80/20 crowd

It will be on TNT

what does that mean? does the ball fly farther or shorter with it closed? Ball carries more with the roof open since it is hot here. It won't carry much with it closed, so it helps Davis out since he's a flyball pitcherSo is lilly. Didn't know that, so thats why I didnt add him
