Meh...don't much feel like anymore baseball this evening, but it is a potential pennant clinching game. It deserves a thread.

Bottom of the 2nd. Still no score.

Agreed, I think everyone has had enough baseball for tonight. Go Diamondbacks.

[Lars The Wanderer]

Micah Owings leads off the 3rd with an infield single.

[Lars The Wanderer]

Conner Jackson with a 2 out single to drive in Owings. 1-0 DBacks.

Yeah. I didn't expect a party...

Helton squanders a RISP opportunity by popping out to 3rd. Still 1-0 DBacks.

[jon abbey]

no team has swept the first two rounds since the three round system started in 1995.

[Lars The Wanderer]

The crowd is really into this game. It is good to see.

[twototango]

What a play by Micah Owings....

[twototango]

Typical Rockies luck... a bloop double... Rockies lead 2-1.

[Lars The Wanderer]

Rockies take the lead on a bloop pinch hit double by Smith. 2-1 Rockies.

[shawnrbu]

This team is incredible.

Why can't $150 million+ buy luck anymore?

[Lars The Wanderer]

Conner Jackson giveth and taketh away.

Matsui with an RBI single after Conner misplays a routine grounder at 1st.

[Matthew M.]

Holliday hits a 3-run HR. 6-1 Rockies, game over.

[Lars The Wanderer]

Matt Holiday breaks it open with a 3 run jack. 6-1 Rockies.

MVP Indeed.

[bob burda]

Typical Rockies luck... a bloop double... Rockies lead 2-1.

To summarize: a bloop for 2 runs, Conor Jackon boot, run scoring single and then a 3 run bomb by Holliday, and it's 6-1 Colorado.

They're starting to look like the 2001 Pats - finding themselves as good as anybody by the end of the year, and getting every break imaginable (tuck play) and turning iron into gold (field goal in the snow)....the two young pitchers are good, only Fogg sucks, and their front line bullpen is nasty.

Either CLE or the Sox will have their hands full.

This Rockies crowd is pretty fired up. Nice to see.

I'll be honest: I'm really scared that the Sox'll have to play four games in Colorado. (Note my cautious optimism).

I'm really scared that the Sox WONT have to play four games in Colorado

[Foulkey Reese]

Sucks that I won't be able to stay up to watch the celebration

Rockies will only host Games 3, 4 and 5 of the World Series.

[MentalDisabldLst]

sucks for Owings. He was making some great pitches there, getting bad contact, grounders, swinging strikes... and after that error, it all came undone for him.

[Wingack]

Man, Colorado is a steamroller.

[NomarRS05]

From the perspective of whoever makes it out of the A.L., at least the Rockies have to sit on their momentum/golden streak for eight days until they play again. That doesn't help them one bit.

[shawnrbu]

What did that asshat Byrnes do this time to make another opposing fanbase hate him?

[TeddysBonefish]

That really wasn't fair to leave Owings in for Holliday. The kid was competing, but it was over and you just knew Holliday smelled blood and he was going to jack it. Melvin should have pulled him after the Matsui hit.

[TeddysBonefish]

What did that asshat Byrnes do this time to make another opposing fanbase hate him?

Whined that the D-Backs were outplaying the Rockies. The Rockies were just getting lucky breaks.

To his credit he claims he was just trying to fire his team up and I believe him... but all it did was pissed off the Rockies and their fans.

[MidnightC]

So no team has ever swept both the LDS and LCS in the same year? That's a pretty incredible accomplishment (assuming the score holds). Rockies fans just have to hope the long layoff doesn't hurt the team.

As an aside, Arizona has looked like complete crap in this series.

[Lars The Wanderer]

The Colorado Rockies are 6 outs away from their 1st National League pennant.

[gaelgirl]

I like Matt Herges and Yorvit Torrealba, I guess. I hate that the Rockies are about to win. Then again, it is Colorado, and watching years of games at Coors has taught me that there is no "safe" lead at Coors, even with the humidor.

[hunter05]

So were will this run that they're on get rated? They've still got some work to do when they get into the WS, but this is ridiculous. For so many reasons.

[hunter05]

That was a moonshot

[Lars The Wanderer]

GG is prophetic. Snyder goes yard to pull the DBacks to a 2 run deficit. 6-4 Rockies.

[gaelgirl]

Game ON!

It's Colorado. Anything can happen. Come ON Diamondbacks!!

[Matthew M.]

A three run HR makes it 6-4. It's now a game again.

[mabrowndog]

That shot by Snyder made it inside the pole by about a foot.

[Wingack]

Things getting interesting.

[MidnightC]

Upton with a triple. ALIVE!

[Lars The Wanderer]

Upton triples. Tying run comes to the plate with 2 outs.

[hunter05]

All 50 diamondback fans ARE PUMPED

[rembrat]

Come on DBacks, I want to keep hearing about 3-0 comebacks.

[mabrowndog]

Suddenly things seem a little 2004-esque for the D-Backs

[hunter05]

I bet Caray has a Dbacks jersey on. More games means more of listening to himself talk.

[Lars The Wanderer]

Hurdle going for the 4 out save from Habeas Corpas.

[gaelgirl]

You had to know the Dbacks weren't going to go quietly. This is getting at least a little interesting. Another run here makes it VERY interesting.

Go Diamondbacks!

I want another game!

[gaelgirl]

All 50 diamondback fans ARE PUMPED

You think there are 50?

I am really rooting for Tony Clark right here, which makes me feel very wrong.

[hunter05]

I just want to see the 0-3 graphic again.

[ScubaSteveAvery]

Corpus pulling an 04 Rivera

Tony Clark, ladies and gentlemen.

[hunter05]

I have seen Tony Clark strike out like that before. I don't remember where

[gaelgirl]

Ugh. Bug-eyed freak. Ugh.
