Their D'Backs Are Against The Wall

In another few hours, game 4 of the National League Championship Series gets underway. The current thinking is that unless the D'Backs find their bats (did they leave them at Wrigley Field?), they are toast. Goes well with a Denver omelet, I guess.

What we know for sure is that the local team has done well all year, and if they come up a bit short against the hottest team in baseball history (20 wins in 21 games to close out the season? Insane!), well, that's okay. They are one of the youngest teams in baseball, and should only get better. They are playing WAY above where they should be. For the fans to get a little "down" because they only get this far is a fleeting emotion. Be happy for them, as they will stay together for the next season, AND have some winning experience under their belts.

Bonus - if they win tonite, they have Brandon Webb in game 5. That gives us hope, that maybe, just maybe, there is one more game in Phoenix. Can they win 4 straight? Only been done once, and that was recently - Boston in 2004. I grew up a Cubs fan, so hope springs eternal!
