The team that was only four games above .500 a month ago is now headed to its first World Series after going 21-1 so far to end a Cinderella season, reports the Rocky Mountain News. More »

      D-Backs Can't Stop Streaking Rockies

      The freight train that is the Rockies didn't lose any steam last night in Colorado, taking the third NLCS game 4-1 to put the Arizona Diamondbacks on the verge of extinction. Only one team has come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a championship series, but the Diamondbacks are determined to "defy history," Justin Upton told the Arizona Republic. More »

The Diamondbacks put up a good fight, tying the game in the ninth and outhitting the Rockies, but the return of Willy Taveras spelled doom for Arizona, reports the Denver Post . More »

      Winter Starts Now For Cubs

      The Arizona Diamondbacks ensured another year without a Cubs championship title last night, shutting down Chicago 5-1 for a sweep of the National League Division Series. The Cubs are "disappointed" to end their 99th season without a World Series win, but manager Lou Pinella promised that "this is just the start," reports the Chicago Tribune. More »

      Diamondbacks Take 2-0 Series Lead

      The Diamondbacks roughed up Ted Lilly early on the way to an 8-4 win and a 2-0 series lead that leaves the favored Cubs on the brink of elimination.  Chris Young hit a 3-run homer, Eric Byrnes had an RBI triple, and Stephen Drew drove in two, knocking a frustrated Lilly out in the sixth.

      D-Backs Clinch Playoff Spot

      The Arizona Diamondbacks clinched a playoff spot for the first time in five years with a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies last night. With the win, Arizona secured at least a wild-card berth and still can win the NL West. The victory snapped Colorado's 11-game winning streak and dampened the Rockies' own hopes of making the playoffs. More »

      Tie-Breaker Mayhem in NL?

      Imagine for a moment that Mets, Phillies, Diamondbacks, Padres and Rockies all finished with the same record. That could mean ties in the NL East, West and wild-card, and four days of tie-breaker games to send two teams packing. In the East, Philly would host New York for a one-game playoff. From there, it gets complicated. More »

      As they have done all season, Arizona followed a lopsided loss with a win, prevailing 9-1 against division-leading San Diego following a 10-2 drubbing. With a 77-63 record, the D-Backs are now just .001 behind the Padres (76-62) in the standings. Enormous All-Star Chris Young, 6'10", was walloped for five runs in four frames. More »

      Rookie Upton Dazzles in AZ Loss

      In his first home game, soon-to-be-20 Justin Upton tripled, homered, and doubled, before narrowly grounding out in the 9th to miss the cycle.  All told, he had three of the four hits against a resurgent Tom Gorzelanny, the young Pirates ace who had stumbled in his last three outings but easily got the 8-3 win.
