Money in the bank right now. This team is destined. I hate to use that word but how else could the team with the 3rd least amount of runs scored in the league be about to win the championship? Beats me and has from day one. This team really is one big slugger away from just dominating teams. The youth movement just means they're going to be around for a while also. Good stuff spanking the Cubs.

And to think they were agressive in trying to land Texeria. Wow!

Great first inning by Webb... 2 SO's already.
- got out of the second after loading the bases and 0 outs. Double play and then a strike out, only giving up one run.

Not a good start by the snakes tonight. Losing with Webb on the mound is not a good sign. I'm afraid that the youth might show through in this series but I'm hoping for the best!

Rockies have owned Webb though. The relief looked solid. Francis looked great for the Rockies. Hopefully Doug Davis can pitch a great game tonight. I've been saying that the Rockies scared me.

What did you think of the interference call, sB? I thought it looked like a pretty good call considereing that the runner came up off the bag, lowered his shoulder a bit and put out his arm. The home crowd sure didn't like the call though. I like the fact that Hurdle brought the team into the dugout - that was crazy, like playing in Philly or Cleveland or something. :wink: :p

Rule 7.09 (e)

If, in the judgment of the umpire, a base runner willfully and deliberately interferes with a batted ball or a fielder in the act of fielding a batted ball with the obvious intent to break up a double play, the ball is dead. The umpire shall call the runner out for interference and also call out the batter-runner because of the action of his teammate. In no event may bases be run or runs scored because of such action by a runner.

Nobody in the Diamondbacks' clubhouse seemed willing to concede that Justin Upton's slide wasn't within the rules. Maybe after they see the replays, and see Upton use his forearm to take out Kaz Matsui, they'll change their minds. Umpire Larry Vanover got this one right.

So, yeah, the call was right. If the paramaters of the game were different maybe there wouldn't have been such a stink. D-Backs fans were frustrated that Webb was getting owned. An almost rally cut short. Upton was running a little pissed too after jarring it up a little after getting hit by the pitch.

D'backs undaunted despite their deficit
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER - Long known for their big bats, the Colorado Rockies suddenly have become masters of small ball.
Several sluggers have vanished in the playoffs. The Rockies have just one extra-base hit in the NL Championship Series, and that was a double by speedy leadoff man Willy Taveras that nobody else could have legged out.
Yet the rollin' Rockies are unbeaten in the postseason and they're two wins from their first World Series while the snake-bit Arizona Diamondbacks can't seem to catch a break.
