It looks like 4 teams (San Diego, Arizona, NY, and Atlanta) will be vying for 3 WC slots in the NL. If the DBacks lose tonight, they will be 1/2 game up for the final WC slot. Time to kick in the afterburners, boyz!

Who would have thought that Justin Verlander would be the medicine the Dbacks needed tonight. Have a game Pavin Smith. 2 ABs, 2 HRs, 7 RBIs

 

[Lefty]

Top of the third and the Diamondbacks are up 8-0. Pavin Smith has driven in 7 of the 8 runs with two homers. Let's hope they don't blow a big lead like the Cardinals did today.

 

[Dback Jon]

Offense decided to show up tonight

 

[Dback Jon]

Astros get two in the 4th

 

[Dback Jon]

Pavin with ANOTHER homer!!

One-run Homer
Three-run Homer
Four-run Homer

Now 3 Abs and 3 HRs...Jesus, what's gotten into Pavin?

 

[Lefty]

Can Pavin get 4 homers tonight?

Pavin Smith single handedly saving the weekend.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Stop me if you've heard this one ..Dbacks pitcher is cruising along and then all hell breaks loose in the 4th or 5th inning.

 

[Dback Jon]

Nelson struggling in the 5th

Single
Single
Single
Walk


Don't wait too long Torey

 

[Dback Jon]

Sac Fly brings in another run

No lead is safe with Dbacks pitching. Pavin is going to need 3 more HR

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Why does Houston's ballpark sound like a minor league park? So hollow sounding. Is that weird?

 

[Dback Jon]

2-out single scores another run 9-5 Dbacks

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Nelson with a 9 run lead and can't get out of the 5th...only with the Dbacks. Hahaha #sad

 

[Dback Jon]

Torey is too damn stubborn.

 

[Dback Jon]

******* Torey waits 4 batters too long to pull Nelson.

 

[Gambler]

Verlander is perhaps the last pitcher with a chance of getting 300 wins. He will be 42 in February and is 40 away. He is just embarrassing himself and needs to retire with dignity.

 

[Dback Jon]

Puk with a nice 1-2-3 inning.


See what happens, Torey, when you let him pitch to more than one batter?

 

[Dback Jon]

Puk only threw 10 pitches - maybe start the 7th

 

[Dback Jon]

Smith up with a runner on

Chance to complete HR cycle!!
